[UniMacTech] OS X Server, Active Directory & "Unable to Add the Domain"

[Darryl Rosin]

Got it working last night. I wasn't specifying the AD domain properly (I 
used the server.domain.griffith.edu.au instead of domain.griffith.edu.au) 
and my test server had a pre-existing stunnel connection existing as 
LDAPv3/127.0.0.1/ which was messing things up a bit. We'd tried browsing 
the AD with LDAPper, but it wants credentials for binding presented as 
user at domain.griffith.edu.au. So  It was a couple of different things that 
looked like the same problem but weren't.

We are now struggling a bit with trying to get authentication/user 
management/computer management all working together seamlessly, but that's 
not unexpected :^\

Oh, one question: Do I need to explicitly join the OS X OD Master and the 
AD to the same Kerberos domain? Or does it magically happen as part of the 
binding?

Hello. 

I'm trying to add an Active Directory (Windows 2000 Mixed on Win 2003 
Server) to an OS X 10.5.6 server. I'm using Directory Access, adding an 
Active Directory and hitting OK then I immediately get an error: 

"Unable to add the domain. There was no response from 
controller.ad-domain.griffith.edu.au. PLease check the address you entered 
is correct

Any ideas what's going on? My OS X server has the right forward and back 
DNS entries, the times are synchronised and there are no blocked ports 
that I can see. Suggestions welcome. 

thnaks!
