Snow Leopard and Windows 2003 Active Directory Binding Issues

Ok I have a new imac 27" with snow leopard (completely patched).
I am attempting to join it to an active directory domain.
First the prequel:
* I have opened full traffic to and from the machine and our domain controllers
* I have enabled full logging on the firewall and there are no blocked packets
* I have used wireshark to watch the traffic on the mac and there appear to be no anomalies (packets being sent out but not getting a response, dns requests that aren't answered, etc)
* I have enabled full KDC logging on the domain controller in question and there are no errors in any of the event logs on either domain controller.
* The domain admin account in question has Enterprise, Schema and Domain Admin rights
* I have tried it both with and without an existing computer account and with every conceivable combination of caps and no caps on domain name, user and computer names.
I am getting the following error at the very end of the process:
"Unable to add server. Credential operation failed because an invalid parameter was provided (5102)"
I enabled debugging on Directory Services and will post a log in a reply.
Anyone have any ideas? I have been banging my head on this for a week with no luck.

Here is the log with the Active Directory: entries grepped... the full log is far too large to reply to here, if you think you need it let me know and I can email it to you it is 548kb
obviously machine names, usernames and ip addresses have been munged.

Integrating SAP ECC 6.0 with Microsoft Windows 2003 Active Directory

Hi Gurus,
We are planning to integrate our SAP ECC 6.0 with Microsoft Windows 2003 Active directory.
I have several questions on this:
1. Can i authenticate all the users from SAP
2. It is used only for user authentication or can it be also used for password authentication
ie user can login using his windows password?
3. While integration in SAP does a separate table or a field is created in database.
4.If a employee leaves a company than in SAP is it possible to lock & deactivate the user automatically.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nihar

Hi Mastek,
You should be able to accomodate your needs with respect to integration of your AD accounts with SAP ECC ABAP. This can be done via LDAP connector configuration. The below has info on how to perfrom the configuration at a high level. You will have to integrate, and map certain user data. You may also want to do some LDAP Connector research:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/10/1a063a15c611d4b61f0000e835363f/content.htm]
On the Java stack - you can also confugure UME to integrate/authenticate with AD:

Can I install both Snow Leopard and Windows 7 on the same version of VMWare 5?

Even though I am running Apple OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 on my new 2013 iMac, I have just installed VMWare's "Fusion 5" so I can have Windows 7 installed on the "Fusion 5, for limited usage needs.
I also would like to have a running version of Snow Leopard available to run my large collection of original Lynda.com training DVD's and CD's ... which unfortunately, now only allow the Lynda.com GUI player to operate in (and up to) Snow Leopard (at least this is what the Tech folks at Lynda.com have told me).
Since Lynda.com is no longer producing any or their training programs on CD or DVD any longer, and because they have stopped supporting their training programs to run on Lion and above, I will have to have a version of Snow Leopard installed to run these training programs, and still be able to run them using the Lynda.com GUI player.
So here's my dilemma:
1. Can I install both a version of Snow Leopard OS on my "VMWare "Fusion 5" .... along with a running version of Windows 7 on the same "Fusion 5"?
2. Do I install only the Windows 7 on the VMWare, and find some other "device" to run a version of Snow Leopard off of?
3. Do I consider using "BootCamp", in conjunction with "Fusion 5", to get access to both Snow Leopard and Windows 7?
Has anyone had any experience installing BOTH a previous (older) version of Apple OSX ... AND ... a Windows OS version on one installed version of VMWare "Fusion"?
OR
Any suggestions on how to set up having access to both Snow Leopard and Windows 7 .... while keeping OS Mountain Lion as my main OS?

Thanks ... the "You have to purchase Snow Leopard Server" I knew about, and a few days ago I just ordered a copy from the Apple Store:
Snow Leopard Server - Ordered at: 1-800-692-7753 ... OR ... 1-866-254-8313
I asked for Apple Snow Leopard Server (Model MC588Z/A (SLSVR)
"Unlimited Client License"
It was around $25.50 (USD) with sales tax and shipping (NYS).
One thing though ... when you mention: "you should make two virtual machines".
Not being too familiar with "Fusion 5" yet, Is setting up "two machine" all done under one installed version of "Fusion 5"?
Would you have "links" to any "Fusion 5" installation instructions/info for setting up the
"two machines" (one for Snow Leopard and one for Windows 7)?

Hi All:
I will eventually be dual booting Snow Leopard and Windows 7. I have never used Boot Camp before and have several questions, including one related to Boot Camp.
First, when installing 7, will I need to format the 7 partition, presumably NTSF.
Second, given my MBP's 64-bit architecture, will I be able to run 64-bit 7. I am aware, of course, that not many programs are available in 64-bit for either platform. Also, I know that the Snow Leopard renditions of all, or most, of the iLife programs will be 64-bit.
Does Leopard (and will Snow Leopard) run 32-bit programs in an emulation mode similar to the way 64-bit Vista/7 run 32-bit programs. In this regard, I assume, which surely must be the case, that OS X is a 64-bit program.

hi donv,
i run win7rc1 via bootcamp 32bit on mbp 17" 3.06ghz
and same, but 64bit on imac 3.06ghz.
all works perfect, also apple's keyboard (brightness+-/sound +-/keyboardbcklight +-/eject ..
format is ntfs; backupable with winclone, also now (i have cloned from ssd to ssd).
apps run also in emulation, but where specified drivers are needed (e.g. for flashing ci-cards) 32bit are a must (therefore i have 32bit on my mbp).
partly i have boot camp 3.0 drivers (snowleo) in the mbp ..

Failed upgrade on snow leopard and windows 8 on bootcamp

I'm using macbook pro early 2011 and using snow leopard and windows 8 on bootcamp. After updating to the latest version of snow leopard, I upgraded to Mountain Lion. On the end of the installation, the installer/bootloader can't boot the mac OS or Win 8 bootcamp. I tried using option key only recovery partition can be boot. Also I've tried reinstall from command-R menu, but the installer can't find the mac partiotion.
I tried using disk utility from recovery menu but it says "invalid BS_jmpBoot in..." Verify or Repair has failed successfully. I think the partition information is mismatch or can't be read by bootloader.
I have put the problematic harddrive to external case, using it as external drive and put an unused harddrive and install snow leopard. When I plugged in the external drive the os won't load/mount the drive/partitions. I've tried it on linux, the mac partition can be mounted but the win 8 bootcamp still can't be access.
How can I recover the partiotion or data on the win 8 bootcamp partition? Thanks for the help.

Windows 8 is not supported in Boot Camp. To get back to a supported configuration, boot from your installation disc and partition the internal drive with the default choices (wiping all data on the drive.) Then restore the OS X startup volume from the last Time Machine snapshot or other backup you made before trying to upgrade. You should then be able to upgrade to 10.8. If you wish, run Boot Camp Assistant and create a Windows 7 (not 8) installation.

What are the minimum hardware requirements to install both MAC OS X Snow Leopard and Windows on a Mac

Hi,
I want to install both MAC OS X Snow Leopard and WINDOWS on a same PC. Is it possible..then mention the minimum Hardware support to install both Operating Systems on a PC. I am waiting for relevant reply from Apple Support Team.
Thank You.

I am waiting for relevant reply from Apple Support Team.
Then you'll be waiting a long time. This is a user to user support site hosted by Apple. The Apple Support Team doesn't respond to posts here.
For Snow Leopard, you need an Apple computer with an Intel processor of any flavor. Here are the specs from the Apple Store:
System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
You'd have to contact Microsoft to find out what specs its OS requires, but I imagine the above would cover it.
Also note that Snow Leopard is only licensed to run on Apple branded equipment.

Binding MAC 9.X workstations to Windows 2003 Active Directory

Hello all,
Has anyone achieved sucess with adding/binding Mac 9.X workstations to Microsoft 2003 Active Directory? We have 25 iMAC 9.2.2 workstations (we cannot upgrade to MAC OS 10.X because of hardware limitations) on a Windows 2003 SP2 network. I know that it can work with MAC OS 10.X but looking for a OS 9.X solution.
I want to be able to apply security, printer scripts for the MAC computers using the 2003 Active Directory.
Thanks

You don't need to do anything in AD other than create the user you want to log onto your Mac.

Oracle 8.1.7 for Unix and Windows 2000 Active Directory

Is it possible to integrate the users and passwords of an Oracle Database running on Solaris with the users and passwords defined in a Windows 2000 Active Directory? What are the requirements and the necesary steps?
I've read the documentation and it shows how to do it if you install Oracle in a Windows 2000 Server, but it does not mention about installing it in any kind of Unix.

You should consider to base your firm security and central user repository on REALLY SECURE and ROBUST product technology. Not on Windows 2000 Active Directory. Win2K AD is known to be slow and insecure. If you have Oracle on Solaris your data is secure and next step is to move user accounts to real user repository. It may be one of well-known LDAP servers. Try to read some materials on CERT Coordination Center (http://www.cert.org) which describe LDAP servers. After this you can choose the server which best suite your needs.

Mac OS Snow Leopard and Windows XP Installation

Recently I got Snow Leopard and I installed it successfully. Then I used Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows XP which also worked fine but when I restarted, by default it was starting in Windows rather than in Mac OS. Secondly, in Windows, I could not see any wireless or internet connections or options for that. Hence I thought of re-installing the OS. When I am trying to do it, first I wanted was to wipe out the Windows partition. To do this, when I wanted to use Boot Camp Assistant, it says, "Update your System Software before using this assistant". Whats this and how to do it? All I want is to just format the whole HDD and reinstall Snow Leopard and then Install Windows XP. But as I could not run Boot Camp Assistant, I cant wipe out the Windows Partition and hence cant move farther. Would one assist me on this?

If you hold the option key down while starting up the machine, you should be able to choose which partition you want to boot from. But before erasing everything, you may just need to install the drivers for WindowsXP and everything will work. Boot into Windows and then insert your Snow Leopard disc into the drive. It should auto-run the installation of all your drivers and get everything running right for you. Post back if we can assist more!

Snow Leopard and Windows 7 - Unable to locate CD/DVD drivers to install

hi,
I am using Boot Camp to install Windows 7, and when the installation starts, I get an error message/ popup window that states: "Unable to locate CD/DVD drivers...".
I can't eject the CD, or figure out which drivers it needs, & how to get them.
I've noticed a lot of people are having this same issue with various PC manufacturers and various releases of Windows 7...
Some people have successfully avoided this by installing off of a USB drive. I am wondering if it's at all possible to install Windows 7 / Boot Camp with a USB drive... or if there is another solution to this problem.
thanks

hi,
i'm replying again to my own question with more info
basically i inserted the snow leopard and the mac os x install dvd's that shipped with my early 2009 nehalem mac pro tower into a windows machine. i was able to "explore" the dvd using windows and found some boot camp support folders which contained drivers.
i copied these drivers to a thumb drive.
so now, during the windows 7 install... i have the option of navigating to these drivers on my thumb drive.
however - i don't see any potential drivers for the dvd burner/ superdrive...
here is the list of companies/ drivers supplied:
ATI
Broadcom
Marvell
Apple
Cirrus
MotorolaSetup.exe
Asix
IDT SigmaTel
NVidia
Atheros
Intel
RealTekSetup.exe
it is my understanding that the superdrive is hitachi...
the information on this drive inside the system profiler is as follows:
"HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GH41N:
Firmware Revision: PQ05
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
Cache: 2048 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
Media: Insert media and refresh to show available burn speeds"
i really wish i knew more info about this drive and where to get windows drivers for it so i can install windows 7 on my mac pro.
this is the stock drive that shipped with this mac pro. i find it strange that no one else is running into this issue?
thanks
ben

I'm a college student taking a class in Operating Systems. We are working on a project comparing Mac OS-X (Snow Leopard) and Windows 7. Whatcan you guys tell me about the tech side of OS-X that makes it better then Win 7. All input gratefully accepted.

What makes Snow Leopard better than Window 7 from a tech standpoint? I'm writing a paper comparing the 2 OS's for a college class and I really need some help from the community. Thank you all in advance for your help.

OK, here are some resources to get you started:

Exchange and EOP and "Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool".

Hi,
Since we are using our on-premises Exchange server and Microsoft EOP only for spam filter, and
we are not using the EOP created domain "XXXX.onmicrosoft.com" for anything.
Technically speaking, do we require
"Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool" to be installed and synchronizing all our AD to the EOP!
Thanks,

The Windows Azure Active Directory Sync Tool allows you to filter mail in EOP for nonexistent recipients. This is a pretty useful antispam feature that you'll be forgoing if you choose not to deploy the tool.

External hard drive for iMac with snow leopard and window XP

I have snow leopard with windows XP ON MY MAC. WHICH EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE SHOULD I USE

Any make and model of any size will work. But if yoyu plan on using it for both Windows and Mac OS X it needs to be formatted FAT32 or exFAT.

IMac 8.1 and joining to Windows 2003 active directory domain

My boss just purchased a new iMac and he wants me to join it to our Windows 2003 AD. Does anyone have a step-by-step procedure on how to do this or can someone give me stepwise pointers on hoe to do this.
I try joining the iMac to the win2003 domain but keep getting this message
"Unable to add the domain - An unexpected error of type -14120 (eDSAuthFailed) occured.

The error message (eDSAuthFailed) means that your creddentials failed to authenticate you. That means that either you've provided incorrect creddentials, or the AD server is not configured to allow that machine into its domain.
The basic process for binding, though, is pretty straight-forward (by GUI). Here's a good example: http://www.smallbizserver.net/Articles/tabid/266/articleType/ArticleView/Article ID/234/PageID/359/Default.aspx
