]]> Comment on Snow Leopard: Going to Need More Than Just Under the Hood Advancements If Apple Wants It To Sell That Is by macguitarman http://techgossip.net/2009/01/snow-leopard-going-to-need-more-than-just-under-the-hood-advancements-if-apple-wants-it-to-sell-that-is/comment-page-1/#comment-1313 macguitarman Fri, 17 Jul 2009 15:38:52 +0000 http://techgossip.net/?p=763#comment-1313 My experience with Apple's AD plugin. When Apple releases a new dot release or especially a brand new OS in beta, AD binding is usually broken. From 10.4 to 10.5 it was broken for most of the beta cycle (6 plus months). Even when 10.5x when Golden Master, AD binding was broken, despite several known bugs on file for months. How can a company be dependent on that for login, everyone calling the service desk that they can not login. This was happening to us even for a few users and we realized, we can not have that. Also issues with users not able to login away from the company LAN, meaning the local AD credential info on Mac OS X was either corrupted or missing, etc. Who wants to deal with this, not me. From what I understand Apple has to reverse engineer (guess) the AD plugin. Microsoft does not work with Apple on this. Not being able to initially bind to AD, losing AD binding, the "magic triangle of AD in OD (Open Directory). I have been through it all.  And in the end we said, why keep binding the Macs to AD. It's not worth it, the time and cost and it definitely was a dependency and potential liability. If it was 1000's of Macs, maybe I would look at Centrify again, but the thing with that is, it is totally a Windows tool to manage Macs. If you are already the Win admin with the authority, it makes sense, you can do it yourself and not impose on the Win admin, or if you are on good terms with the Win admin. Perhaps in Snow Leopard with Apple and MS cooperating and MS opening their protocols, technologies, etc., (Exchange Web Services, SOAP/XML), AD binding and functionality will be a better experience.
