Hi,

After the holidays something changed and I cannot figure out what it is, but for some reason our Mac OSX 10.6 clients who are bound to Active Directory are having the ownership changed. So for example:

C00771:Users root# ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r--   1 root        wheel         0 Jul  1  2009 .localized
drwxrwxrwt   8 root        wheel       272 Nov 23  2010 Shared
drwx------  19 hmccrum     1696695147  646 Jan  3 10:44 hmccrum
drwx------  13 2110082475  1696695147  442 Mar 25  2011 jbaumgartner
drwx------  13 270894697   1696695147  442 Mar 25  2011 nholder
drwxr-xr-x+ 12 nsadmin     staff       408 Feb 22  2011 nsadmin
drwxr-xr-x+ 12 staffadmin  staff       408 Jan 27  2011 staffadmin

The quick fix is simply to change them back, but then it happens again

The only other item I have noticed is that in the DirectoryService.error.log I see things like:

2012-01-05 08:26:52 PST - T[0x0000000101281000] - Active Directory: No matching _kerberos records for server - "stadc07.staff.nsd.org" 2012-01-05 15:41:00 PST - T[0x00007FFF70C96CA0] - DNSServiceProcessResult returned -65563

Now the stadc07 server has not been around since Sept 2010. It was initially set up as a new AD server and then renamed to stadc01 when we replaced the original AD server (this was part of an upgrade from 2003 to 2008).

This is happening to around 50% at one site (20 of 35 machines) and sporadically across our other sites. If we fix it then on some machines it happens again in a few days.

I really do not want to run a cron job every hour on the clients to check and reset the ownership, but if starts spreading and I cannot figure it out that is all I can think of so the users can continue to work.

I look forward to hearing your ideas.

cheers,

ski
