A little background...
I recently deployed a windows 2003 server running active directory for my office. I couldn't be happier with the way it's running. I'm able to do everything I need with ease, except that I have one problem (obviously, hence this post.)
I have 8 Windows XP machines and one Mac running mac os x 10.4.11. All my Windows XP machines are running fine, however the one mac was never able to see any of the computers on the domain.
I had used a demo version of AdmitMac by Thursby. It worked great, but it was a demo version and expired. I don't want to pay over a hundred dollars for something that I'm supposed to be able to do.
After perusing through some posts by other users on these forums, I figured out how to enable sharing for Macintosh from the computer management window on the server. (right-clicked on 'shared folders'; then properties, then set authentication type to 'Apple clear text or Microsoft')
That seemed to allow the mac to see all the other computers on the domain. I was able to connect to a printer that I hadn't been able to before. Ah progress!!
Now when I connect to the server, it asks me for a username and password, I enter it, then it asks me to 'Select the volumes to mount' and the only item in the list is Microsoft UAM Volume. I cannot see any of my other shares in the list.
I feel like I'm extremely close to fixing this lingering problem once and for all!
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
