I’ve been trying to get our web and print design specialist at work set up with an Apple that was donated to us. It’s not a bad machine but one of the older ones running the Power PC hardware. It’s also running OS X version 10.4.11. Apples are completely new to me so it’s been a challenge. I figured out how to get it to be part of our Active Directory<\/span> domain a while ago so I thought all would be fine but there have been quite a few problems getting it to work smoothly.<\/p>\n One of the issues is logging on to the computer when home drives are assigned through the Active Directory<\/span> profile. As a Domain Admin, when I would sign in I would get the message <\/p>\n The home folder for the user account is located on an AFP or SMB server<\/p><\/blockquote>\n and it would not log me in. Upon trying again immediately, it would log me in and my home drive would be mapped just fine! I thought it was annoying but we could deal with it at first but when I had the user try to log in with an account that was not an admin they repeatedly got the error and were not able to log on at all.
