I have gone into System/Library/Core Services and run the Directory Utility. To attempt to join the MacBook to the domain I have created a computer account for it on the domain, in the Computers container. It is using our primary DNS server, 'Ponus' to resolve these names - Ponus is also the Domain Controller in this site. When I use nslookup to resolve the name of the domain 'my_domain.local' it returns a list of DC's on the domain, which would indicate to me that name resolution is working perfectly. It can resolve all names on our network, including the names of our domain controllers. The MacBook is configured to use DHCP, and has been assigned valid IP address, DNS servers etc by the DHCP server. I am currently trying to join it to our corporate domain, which is a Windows Server 2003 domain operating at the Windows Server 2003 Native domain functional level.
My organisation has just purchased a new MacBook Pro, running Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6) and as a Technical Support Engineer I have been asked to configure it for an end user. Hi there, I've been working on this problem for a few hours now (and a few hours last Thursday) and don't feel I'm getting anywhere, so I'm reaching out for help. Unable to bind MacBook Pro (running 10.6 - Snow Leopard ) to Windows Server 2003 domain
