[Casper] AD Binding Issues with 10.5

[NATHANIEL.LINDLEY at spps.org]

I've had similar inconsistent issues.  Usually the computer will bind to 
AD ok manually or via Casper if the computer name is 15 characters or 
less.  Sometimes it still works with longer names and just truncates. 
 My issue is that some known good AD user accts can't login to certain 
machine randomly.  Will work one day and not the next.  Other computers in 
the same lab work, but then go back to the first bad one and it works. 
Timing issue?  I can't nail it down much.  Also, some logins are really 
slow for users, especially the first time they login to a computer and it 
creates the acct, and homedir and settings, 2-3 minutes sometimes.  Maybe 
that is network related, but it frustrates our users. 
Other problem I have is AD users that login and are members of an AD admin 
group that should get local admin rights when logging in, lose that 
setting when they are off our internal network.  Known issue, but various 
fixes with scripts or other WGM tools.  I'd like it to just work they way 
it is supposed to, though.  Call me crazy.

[Casper] AD Binding Issues with 10.5






Is anyone having AD binding issues with the 10.5 migration? We have a 
number of laptops and workstations that need to be unbound and rebound 
consistently. Apple is working on the issue as an escalated ticket but 
I am not sure if it is just us or a plugin issue. In some instances 
mobile accounts on a given workstation can't even log into the 
computer with a mobile account already existing on the box. Anyone 
experiencing similar issues???
