Ok.  So I was hoping to get a box, install Linux, put Joomla on it and
then set up a new website for the district with the $1900 that was
earmarked for a server in the grant.  The outgoing Supt. instead
purchased two "Mini-macs".  So now I am left here with no support or
knowledge of how to install/setup/configure/use these things.  I got one
hooked up and I am going through the initial setup steps.  I got to a
place where it gives me a choice of using it's open directory or
importing users and groups from AD.  I am trying to import the users
from AD since we are a Win2003 network.  I put in the DNS name of the
server (servername.district50.local) and it shows it as an AD server.  I
put in my administrator account and password and click on continue.  It
then pops up and says it is cannot authenticate and that my username and
password are incorrect.

 

First, should I even be doing it this way or is there a way to just join
this thing to my domain and have my win servers manage the users?

 

Second, If I am on the right path, any ideas as to why it will not
verify my account information and import the users?

 

Third, Anyone have any "Mac OS X server" for dummies websites that may
help me as I am now forced to teach myself Apple, OS X, and it's
integration with a Windows network?

 

   Thanks in advance,
