Hi,
I might be wrong here - if that should be the case, I would appreciate a
hint on where to go.
I am a PC-Professional and just bought a Mac Mini to get to know "the other
world" a bit. After a period of basic familiarisation with Mac OS 10.3.8 I
am now trying to hook up the Mac to a Windows Server. I was quite
successful with basic SMB access, GroupWise Clients, Notes Clients, RDV and
Entourage and am now aiming at the Active Directory Client.
My machine is plugged into the same collision domain as two Windows Servers
(2000 SP4 and 2003 SP1) sharing one Active Directory domain. There are no
internal firewalls. The Mac has been awarded an IP from the appropriate
subnet and also has access to the DNS-Service hosted by the Windows Servers.
NSLOOKUP used from darwin produces quite reasonable results forward and
backwards including -q=ns lookups and the sort, however, connecting to the
Terminal Services with RDV does only work if I enter the IP - not the name,
which bothers me somewhat.
Trying to integrate the Mac into Active Directory produces a bunch of
cryptic german error messages saying something like "your domain name does
not belong to the name of your domain structure" which is a lie, since they
are identical and there is only one domain.
As usual I presume that DNS is the key to the problem but I cannot see where
I have gone wrong. I solemnly swear that the DNS-Service on the windows
machines is clean and working.
Any hint is greatly appreciated.
Ralph
