joining a Leopard Machine to an active directory domain.

1.  Rename the AD domain to something else instead of .local
(.internal, or .edu, or .net or .org). If
2.  Stop the daemon Bonjour from running on OSX Leopard. You can do
this with an application called iServeBox, which is a free open source
utility to manage daemons in OSX. You can get the application from
here: http://www.hanynet.com/iservebox/index.html
I turned off the Bonjour daemon. Then i proceeded with the following
steps to add the imac to the domain:


1. Go to the Directory Utility ‐> /Applications/Utilities/
2. Click the Advanced Settings Button ‐> Buttons should appear on the top
3. Click Services
4. Make sure you're authenticated to makes changes ‐> click the lock and login
5. Double‐click the Active Directory
6. type in your domain in "Active Directory Domain" ‐> ex.
(mydomain.com) watch out if your domain ends with .local opposed to
.com or .net, you need to disable bonjour if it ends with .local.
7. click bind
8. enter in username and password ‐> just the username NOT
email@hidden or MYDOMAIN\User
9. Click ok.
