We have recently purchased Macs for our school. We plugged them all in and got the network on, but we had problems logging in. We run boot camp and we can log on the windows domain fine with any of our usernames. However this cant be said the same for the Macs. We have intermitent logging on and we have two admin accounts appear if we can get on. We run the server from a Mini Mac as our admin control. Any help is apperacited.

If you're talking about integrating them to an Active Directory domain, you would need to bind them to the Active Directory using Directory Assistant. Once you've done that, you should be able to use the domain login accounts to login to the Macs.
