"Seamless" Integration of Mac OS X w/ Active Directory

eexlebots asks: "I work for a small college which has a few Mac OS X 10.2 machines and a fairly standard Active Directory setup. Actual deployment of these clients rides on getting them to authenticate at login to our Active Directory server. Apple has stated that this is possible (easy! seamless!) with Jaguar without the use of an additional Mac OS X server, but I have found the case to be quite different. It is possible, but not without a good deal of nightmarish configuration issues. Documentation? HA! No sign of it anywhere on Apple's site. I'm not alone: at macwindows.com I found a good many people who think that Apple's claims of seamless Windows Network integration to be a bad joke and nothing more. I was wondering who else out there is having this problem, and what they have done to solve it."

Sometimes rather than doing an exhaustive search it really is easier and I think in many cases proper to just "Ask Slashdot". You are likely to get someone who has already solved the problem quickly and easily, and has the expirence. So give people a break, they are just taking the route that is quickest to a solution. If you don't have anything useful to say to solve the problem they are Asking about...SHUT the F**K UP!
