Thanks for the help so far Strontium90!
When I bind to AD with the domain address and then click on User Experience in the advanced options, it somehow lists Multiple next to ‘Network Account Server’, as read here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4176
Currently I would use dsconfigad through terminal once I added the domain.
By default “Force local home directory on startup disk”. (dsconfigad –localhome disable) and “Create mobile account” is kept disabled/unchecked.
[Testing how long it takes to aquire the domain]
The 'Other' appeared eventually but took a long 2-3 minutes, although if you read below it did not appear for other machines until I re-attached the AD Domain.
I currently have 3 machines with 10.7.3 (testing) and the one I am using never gets shut down, if I do a restart, then I can log straight back in (except from the odd occasion that requries me to re-bind). It doesnt happen as frequent as the other two machines, possibly because this never gets shut down...
- This morning I dropped by the two machines and tried logging in with no success
- Logged in with local admin and reattached the AD domain
- Logged in with AD account and it all worked fine
- Logged out and tried with another AD account and this also worked fine
- I left both machines at login window
An 30mins later when the users came into work, both could not login using their AD credentials, as well as the login’s I had previously used!
I checked the console logs and there was some difference between them;-
