[QUOTE="narcispy, post: 627941, member: 52400"] Sorry I manage a windows server setup so it's hard to change and this is only the first mac I've ever used before. Basically what I'm saying is say you name an account jsmith, local, meaning it is an account based on the hard drive of the mac. Yet on the server in active directory you have a domain account named the same thing the mac can't tell the difference between the two accounts for some reason. I can see how it can be a problem but I figured they would have fixed it by now since you have to logon with "domainname\username" instead of just "username". Thats about as simple as I can make it. And BTW I'm not forcing OSX to be like Windows, I'm trying to do my job and figure out how to get what the user requested working properly on the machine thats why I'm asking questions. I don't want to turn this into an OS war. [/QUOTE]
