point to remember
Authored by: tipster on Nov 14, '03 10:17:55PM

I struggled to get the add to domain part happening, until I realised that the username who is used to add the account - and the names of those users who want to log on - needs to be configured with both a long and short name within the accounts part of Users and Computers (on the W2k side). Our AD accounts only had the "pre-w2k username" part set, with the other username field left blank. Once I corrected this everything went smoothly.

The pre-w2k name is the long name under OS X - and the other field is used by OS X as the short name.
