The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Creating Mobile Account Mac OS 10.5.6 on Active Directory

Asked by giclements in Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard), Active Directory

Tags: Active Directory, Mac OS 10.5.6, Mobile User

I have a brand new MacBook Pro (15") running 10.5.6 and want to connect to our AD which is running on a Win 2003 Server.

I set the Mac up with a new "admin" user, joined the domain - all worked ok

I then logged off and then log on as my domain user - and get an error message 'You are unable to log into your user account "gclements" at this time - logging into the account failed because an error occurred'.

It's definitely checking the domain controller as if I use an incorrect password the screen just wobbles, whereas once I use the correct password I repeatedly get this error message.

I've got the settings in Directory Utility set to "Create Mobile Account at Login" and "Require confirmation before creating mobile account". If I turn the "Create Mobile User" off, it does work and logs on, creating a local set of user folders on the Mac - but this is obviously not what is wanted! I want to sync with the home directory specified in the AD settings.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
