Has anyone had difficulty with music server software on the mac mini

Question

Hello all. I'm using my newly purchased mac mini as a music server and for movies integrated into my sound system. I have 2 handmade tube amps hooked up to a CJ tube pre-amp, running a Neko audio DAC mkII via a silflex mini toslink cable made by lifatec, from the optical out jack of the mac. I'm using audirvana plus software, which allows me to play uncompressed music files directly into my external dac bypassing the internal dac of the mac. CDs sound very good, the mac runs very quietly, and the optical connection seems very clean. HD tracks sound exquisite.
Took me a while to figure out how to set the systems preferences, but after a few days of trial and error I finally got it right. The low jitter of the optical out is a reality. Audiophile quality is now easy and cost efficient with the mac mini.

Well, I do understand that.
However, I've installed iMS 5.2 on win2k several times (I admit, w2k pro, not server), and i've never installed AD.
If you can get it installed and working for your default domain, but not for other domains, then most likely it has nothign to do with AD or AD domains. iMS idea of domains is very different from AD's idea of domains. We need to be very clear about such.
for iMS, you have to create additional domains through Delegated Admin, as either "Hosted Domains" or as "Vanity Domains". We do not suggest using "Vanity Domains", and support for such is deprecated.
Once you have created "Hosted Domains" through Delegated Admin, you can add users to those domains, and they should work, just fine.
