Active Directory with Apple Macs

[Dieselboy]

AD 2012
Mac OSX

Anyone else done this? We've done it fine but a couple users can't change their password. I thought their machines may have been tombstoned but according to the AD attribute this is not the case. The Macs give an error that they can't communicate with AD: "The password for the account was not changed. The server is not available. Change your password when the server becomes available"

Is this Apple just giving me hassles because we're using Windows?

I've got it running successfully, I'll look for the articles I used and share them.

Ah thanks mate!

I too have it working but for some reason it seems a couple of machines have dropped off. We only found out because we've introduced a GPO to get users to change their password every 90 days and a few people cannot change it. I believe a remove and re-bind to the domain will fix it, but I don't know why this happened. And I'm yet to try and fix it because everyone's too busy
