I hope I do not sound to illiterate.

password


Hi Thomas, 

I like MAC's and Windows and Linux, I am not a bigot. However I have not had an 
opportunity to join MAC OS 10.4 to Active Directory yet. I have joined 10.2 and 
10.3, and used a product called Admit Mac by Thurbsy software 
http://www.thursby.com/. I did not experience the errors that you are seeing. A 
word of advice, I am not sure if Tiger yet supports NTLMv2 and SMB signing ( 
Admit Mac does ) and if you decide to raise your Active Directory Domain level 
to 2003 Native you may break your Mac's SMB connectivity.

Since you seem to be using government email address I am sure that your 
superiors would want to use the highest level domain security as possible to 
meet the new Sarbanes-Oxley  and or HIPAA law requirements, just keep in mind 
that your password authentication is probably still using LAN Manager based 
authentication.

Have a great day

Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: Macintoshes in AD not updating account password


We have been joining MacIntosh computers running the Tiger OS to Active
Directory.  One problem that I see is that these computers generate a
Security Log Eventid 675 Account Authentication failure record on the
domain controllers.  Some research shows that the "pwdLastSet" attribute
value for the computer account is the date they were first joined to AD.
They don't seem to be renewing their computer account password at either
the 7 day (NT) or 30 day (W2K, WXP) timeframes like out Windows OS
workstations do.

Has anyone else experienced this behavior?  Bug?  Workaround?  Thoughts
(besides get rid of the Macs, LOL!)?  Thanks!
