Hi Macshome,
I did a ‘host’ and everything looks fine both ways to me. I also did nslookups on a PC and DNS and IP come back properly, The WINS name does not know what to do, but I think that is okay.

For the Computer ID, I am just putting the name, not the FQDN.
On our network, just to make sure that you are fully understanding it. My user ID is authenticated on my.domain.net. My Computer is on a subset of that network myfacility.domain.net
Do I need to somehow tell the Directory Access Utility that somehow? At this point I am placing my.domain.net in the Active Directory Domain. However, when I am doing the Computer OU string, it is basically in there, so maybe that is okay.

Where I really think the problem is is the @my.domain.net showing up twice in the majority of the authentications?

If I can also work with you offline and not have things published, I can give you full information, if you promise not to pass it around. We can then publish the solution on here. I am okay either way though.

Thanks,
Steven Stuart

Hi macshome,
Yes, I mean I put DirectoryService in debug logging mode and then trying to bind.

I will use mycomputer as the name of this desktop.

When I do a ping of mycomputer with the “network Utility” it comes back as mycomputer.myfacility.domain.net and ip address xxx.xx.xx.xxx, which is the same IP address that shows up under Network (TCP/IP)

When I bring up Terminal, mycomputer is what shows up in the front. So I would say yes, I think DNS is okay.

However, in some places the letters show up as lower case, and in other places UPPER CASE, but they are all one or the other, no mix.

Thanks,
Steven Stuart

update

I am finding out when doing the debug, that my authentication is failing most of the time, but works once in a while.

When it works it has the proper account name and domain. However, the majority of the time it is sending the domain twice.
It is sending [email protected]@my.domain.net

It should be sending [email protected]

Thanks,
Steven Stuart
