After about a week of testing and many questions, I finally have a working setup with Active Directory. My xserver has the AD DC as a Authentication Source, And My clients have AD as an Authentication Source. Client logs in (first time), he is verified against AD, his home is created on the xserver through afp. Everything works beautifully. Now. How can I manage my computers through Workgroup manger. I have tried running Open Directory assistant again to create a network netinfo database. The NI database is created, and I can manage the NI through WM. I also added a computer to the NI database. But none of the preferences I make stick to the users when they log in. I am probably wrong, but It was my understanding that I can use Netinfo to manage my computers preferences and use LDAP to authenticate them... I tried making drastic changes that "Always" occur. Like, put the dock on the Right, half size, Full magnification, All the time. Nothing. Anyone have any ideas? Have I missed something. Quickly going insane, Forrest
