The goal: to setup a unified Windows/Mac login for all users.
The need: to add Open Directory service to the Mac OS X 10.4.11 server.
I work for a K-12 school district with over 2000 user logins. Have several Windows server and on Mac server.
According to the research that has been done so far we need to use Open Directory service on the Mac and point it to the Windows Active Directory server. However, when trying to configure Open Directroy on the Mac server through the Server Admin all options are dimmed including the 'Start' service button. This would seem indicate that the service needs to be installed.
Typically I can find answers to such questions within only a few minutes of Googling, this topic is turning out to be rather illusive. All articles on setting up and using Open Directory leave out the small detail of adding the service to the Mac server.
Thanks in advance for any help you provide.
