Hi Paul, Thanks for your interest. What I have written is only a part of the several experiences collections from me and from my group of admin. I am writing an other email with the rest of the considerations we made and of the suggestions we find. About your request to insert all this in answer, I don't thing it is the right way. In launchpad I had supported some enterprise and user about these problem, and I had open some bugs about tha authtool and AD config in general. I task that all that I am collecting in mine mail must be discussed in one more specific center. Luanchpad support are a good way to report problems and try to solve it, not to open a argument on the specific problems and solution of Ubuntu server/clients. What do you think about this ???
