thanks for the reponse, I thought it meant something like that. The client machine is doing some wierd stuff. Some preferences work and some dont for example the applications i restrict access to give the no access message when clicked but the dock is not showing the custom version. This only happens with a ad user if i log in with the a od user (both users in the same group with the same preferences) it all works like it is supposed to.

Same with computer lists if i make a change it seems to forget the change, eg i initially tested the computer lists (defined new list added test machines mac address) with the login option show user list but this was not such a good idea as there is alot of ad users and browsing the list takes awhile so i changed it back to show name and password and evry 2nd or 3rd restart it defaults back to the list option. Is this a issue with ad or shoudl it all be working correctly. I am starting to think I may have missed something or my system just does not want to play nice.

any ideas? agian

cheers

[QUOTE BY= Nald0z] I have got a OSX 10.3.5 server and clients,and Win2k3 server using AD. I am using Extreme Z-IP to make Win2K3 Server use AFP 3.1 so home directories and user/security group info are on win2k3 server in AD. This works great, log in to mac and home directories etc show up fine. Now I want to use Mac server as Open Directory master to deal with workgroup/management settings on mac clients. Everything is set up seems ok, but the client when logged in as a user does not have any security settings applied, the just get their home directory. In directory access on server and client I have configured AD Plugin to bind to AD domain, and LDAP v3 to bind to Open Directory. I’m stuck here can’t seem to get client to talk to workgroup manager/open directory[/QUOTE]
ey guys, thanks for article on ad-od integration. I have a problem similiar to this one. I have a 10.3.7 od master not configured for ad, I have mac clients that are setup to access ad and od. when a client logs in the client to od it gets a managed desktop, when they log in to ad on the client machine they get their home directories all good ad is first in access then ldap os next. From the client machine i have authenticated to both directories and used wgm to add ad users to od groups but yet when my ad user logs in they dont get a managed desktop.

I am not sure what is going wrong, but if you have any suggestions please…..
