Error when managing Preferences in Workgroup Manager

Morning,

I have bound our Mac Server to AD and I'm trying to manage the preferences for users using Workgroup Manager..

But I keep getting this error (see pic) - it occurs when trying to manage users OR groups

Has anyone come across this error before? :confused:

Cheers

Scott

You cannot add preferences to an AD group. You need to create a Open directory group and add the AD group to that OD group. Then you can edit the preferences for the OD group.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks for that

The does make sense but I'm having trouble working out how to do it :(

Sorry - I am new to Mac Server

You need to change to LDAPV3 on the top left instead of Active Directory and then unlock the pad lock. I have a video on my blog for 10.6 which is close to 10.7 with workgroup manager. HowToMac.co.uk | Bringing the future of Apple into education

Worked it out, Cheers for that :)

Do you know how to make the Documents folder redirect to their Home Directory? or is that impossible?
