Hello all,

I googled for this issue but couldn't find any answers. I hope you guys can help me out here.

Here's a situation:

I am an apple technician for a university. All mac domains are registered under window server 2003 with Active Directory. One Department wants to have their 5 pcs computers and 1 mac have restrictions log in workstation with their department A.D. with one username that allows them to login these 6 computers in their department office only but not login to ANY other computers on campus.

The window server 2003 had successfully restricted one A.D username to 5 PCs but failed to recognize 1 mac even though I typed in its bind address. One username that CAN'T be logged in to ANY macs on domain EXCEPT for one particular mac. If using the local user restrictions on one mac, the username can STILL be logged in to OTHER domain macs. This is for security reasons to have the username to use ONE mac. Hope this clears up what I'm trying to say.

Thanks in advance!

This belongs in the Networking forum, so I've put it there. Sorry that I can't tell you anything about Active Directory, but I'll bet there are a bunch of people here who can.

Make sure the Macs have the correct DNS information. I've had ActiveDirectory act pretty darn random on a Mac just because no DNS or the wrong DNS was entered.

Also, hopefully you're running Leopard because Tiger is fairly uncertain when it comes to how it interprets AD permissions.

Of course, the macs are running on Leopard 10.5.6
