Two different methods of being a part of a Kerberos Realm at play here. SMB can join an AD domain for Kerberos, while AFP is a Kerberized service. The difference? Run klist -kt on your server and you'll see that you have service principals for each Kerberized service, contained in the...

Keep your AD as is. Build an Open Directory Master. Bind the OD Master to the AD. Create OD groups and drag AD users into them for MCX settings. Bind clients to both servers, with AD listed first. :) That's the gist of it. You'll get your authentication info from AD and OS X will supplement...

Boot it off of the DVD and use that to run diagnostics? It should announce itself over ZeroConf again booted off the included media kit. They all ship with GPU's, so you could also just hook up a monitor and take a peek. First and foremost, see if you can see it in Server Assistant. Could be...

All depends on their needs. NT --> AD upgrades aren't exactly free! :) Michael

There are some pretty good whitepapers on AD-OD out there that may be able to help you. Remember, though, PDC/BDC is a very different bird than AD. What are you trying to change to an OD Replica? The PDC? Can't do it. The PDC *must* be on a Master. The BDC *must* be on an OD Replica. :)...

Cool! Glad to hear it! :)

You need to create a PDC installation in Mac OS X to begin this process. The PDC requires an Open Directory Master on the same box to operate. You can create BDCs only on Open Directory Replicas and if you have a Mac OS X PDC installation as well. Michael

Are you trying to get your Open Directory to replicate from Active Directory? If so, that's not going to work in this method. There are ways to dump out LDAP data from AD into OD, but the OD Replica mechanism isn't built for OD to replicate AD. In AD-OD integrations, usually you have all of...

You'll want the records to reflect the fully qualified domain name. In this case, numbanumba.upedown.com

Do you have the DNS server hosted on that server? If so, create the records in both forward and reverse zones and point the server to itself in system preferences. In Panther, you can modify the /etc/hostconfig file to include the hostname - in Tiger, you shouldn't do that, use scutil instead...

Well, if your learning and this is just your controlled environment, go nuts! :) The best way to learn is to take these things apart, test them out with different configurations and see where it leaves you. Be prepared to hit some dead ends or possibly even re-install, but you'll learn the most...

Depends on timeframe. Most folks will be weary of simply throwing 10.5.0 into live production, without proper testing with their infrastructure. Tiger's OD is going to provide the OP with additional schema attributes in the OpenLDAP database, such as Jabber Server, Software Update Server and...

Really your call. I've used Mac OS X DHCP and the built-in DHCP server in Linksys products at different points. Depends on your familiarity with administrating the services and how many clients you have, as well as what level of control you desire. Michael

If you feel it is a memory leak in the software... bugreport.apple.com is your best friend for results. Michael

Got me. I can share mine out here without trouble and have setup print servers for publishing houses with good results. Do you have the appropriate drivers installed and such? Mike

You can also use the MCXCacher application to flush out the MCX at the machine or user level. Michael

There is usually an early registration of about $1500 USD, which includes a full year enrollment in Apple's developer program, with extra perks. The conference is a week's worth of in depth technical info. Michael

To create a mirror of an existing Volume, you need to be booted off of secondary media. I will note that, while this worked flawlessly in Panther, I've seen it fail in Tiger, causing data corruption. Your best bet is to create a Mirror set with the two 250GB drives and then replicate the 80GB...

Well, what are you looking for then? I talked about cost of ownership, I talked about integration with multiple platforms. You asked about centralized services and collaboration suites, which I talked about as well, in both capability and cost, so I guess I must have missed what it is you are...

Sure. Mac OS X includes a NT style PDC to allow Windows clients to be a part of the Open Directory domain. You also could forego the PDC and simply use an LDAP plugin on the Windows clients to access the direct LDAP of the OD. Michael
