Hello -
I was recently put in charge of a Mac Server at work, in order to have my own machine to host the internal web site I created. I am by no means either a Mac or a networking expert, but with the help of some of our staff who sometimes wear IT hats, we have been able to get somewhere close to a workable solution. All users at our company log in to an Active Directory domain on a Win 2003 Server when they boot to Windows. We have the Mac server set to "Connected to a Directory System" under Open Directory, and have configured the AD plugin and bound to the AD server. So, in theory, if I understand correctly, when a user on one of our Windows machines clicks the icon of the server in Network Neighborhood, the Mac server should authenticate the user automagically, since he/she already logged into the AD domain at Windows startup. However, most of the time it pops a UN/PW dialog and says that the supplied credentials are invalid.
Any ideas on correct setup? All we really need this thing to do is to run a website, (which it doesn't seem to have any problems doing) and to correctly run Windows filesharing, so that myself and a select few others can add files to the web folder(s).
Thanks,
Jeff
