I've got a new iMac G5, and I'm trying to integrate it into a Win2K3 domain.

Using the "Active Directory" setting within the "Directory Access" utility, I've tried setting the AD Forest as "mycompany.com," the AD Domain as "mycompany.com," and the Computer ID as "computername-mac."

I have confirmed that the new Computer ID/host is pingable on the network, and have disabled Microsoft Network Client/Server settings within the Domain Controller Security Policy.

Still, I cannot attach this Mac to the Windows network. Any ideas why? Thanks

What error message do you get from Directory Access?
I found I had to enter the main AD Controller�s address as DNS Adress in the Network Control Panel, otherwise I could not finish AD integration...
Also check if your clock and the AD controller�s clock are in sync, if they are off by more than 2 minutes, AD will NOT work...

Bye, Frido.
