Our school has roughly 300 MacBooks assigned out to students. Each MacBook is bound to our Xserve through Open Directory and also to our Active Directory Server. All log-in/ account info comes through active directory. The first time students log in, it asks them to set up a mobile account and we have them click create. We have been getting complaints from students that when they are off our schools network, logging in takes about 5 minutes. In what we have seen, the student types their log-in info and click log in, the login windows grays out and sits there for a few and finally logs in. Now, when they are on our network, they get logging in immediately. It seems to me when ever a student logs-in, it is searching for either Active Directory or Open Directory and preventing the user from logging in immediately. What setting am I missing that will prevent this from happening?
Thanks!
Thanks!
