Active Directory Problems

We have Windows Active Directory running here. I think I got the mac mini connected properly to active directory, I can login as AD users and that seems to work ok. My problem is the home folder. I need it to be set to a network location, not local. From everything I've found it appears to be setup correctly. I also set the home folder settings in AD, but it doesn't map a drive at all, let alone make it the home directory. Please help!

Mac Mini, Mac OS X (10.4.9)

can you connect to the home directory by using the "Connect to server..." option? That would be a good starting point in troubleshooting

I can connect to the shares. The folder is inside one of the windows shares. The problem I am having is it tells me the alias is bad for the home directory, but won't let me assign it to the home folder.

Have you have specified in the AD accounts for your users the path to the home folder? Does this work correctly for you on a Windows machine? If so, then the setup is correct for the Mac as well.

Also in the Active Directory plugin on the Mac have you adjusted your settings to connect to a network home folder via SMB?
