Steve Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi Guys, I recall there being a few people in a similar situation to me here - in having to work on a Mac, on an Active Directory network. I have exchange mail, and contacts working great, and recently I was setup to authenticate against the domain, yet I have one small issue. The IT department are moving Linux shares over to Windows 2003 shares, and applying permissions accordingly to these shares and it's users. In a Windows world, it works great, but not quite so, for me... I'm running 10.5.7, and can connect and seemingly authenticate against the domain controller for Window Shares, but once I connect, all folders are inaccessible due to me having insufficient privileges. I've tried all sorts, including disabling Bonjour, renaming my local user account etc, but I have a feeling quite possibly it's the server letting me down. Has anyone had a similar experience with Windows file shares, where your permissions from AD just don't appear to be trickling down, and thus leaving every folder 'blocked' from read access? I've read something about disabling SMB authentication or alike - anyone? Any help would be greatly appreciated - I'm having threats to get some Dell machine and there is no way I can work day to day on Windows... Cheers, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Steve When you connect to the share you have to authenticate using your AD username and password correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betasp Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 The best directions I have used can be found here http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1246089 It has been over 4 years since I did it..... don't skim it... read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 Yeah - that's correct. First time I connected, I was asked to enter my domain login, which I did using "domain\username" and "password". At root of that share, I can see ALL the folders, yet all of them have a small red 'stop sign' which denotes insufficient privileges... Thanks for the link betasp, i'll have a good read through it, looks useful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
