The "password not required" setting is a bug I reported to MS like 5 years ago now. This only happens when you use ADUC due to the process they followed to create the account. It definitely isn't needed.
What do you mean when you say they don't "stick"? I expect it is more a function of how Apple is communicating with AD than anything AD is doing purposely to Apple. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thommes, Michael M.

Hi, In our continuing quest to join Macintoshes to Active Directory, I see that the Macintoshes have a useraccountcontrol value of 69632 (65536: "don't expire password" + 4096: "workstation trust account") while my Windows workstations and servers in AD have a useraccountcontrol value of 4128 (4096: "workstation trust account" + 32: "password not required"). The Macs that have been joined to AD don't seem to "stick". For others out there that are doing Macs in Active Directory, is this what you see? Any thoughts/references on joining non-Windows computers to AD are appreciated! TIA!
