i'm having a problem, and the solution is probably right under my nose... but if anyone had any thoughts it would be greatly appreciated.
we have a video server that needs full access to some files shares on our mac osx server. the video server runs windows xp. when it wants to connect to the file shares it asks for username and password, but then also the domain...
our current setup is prefix.name.local
upon entering that, it fails... also just entering prefix.local fails... just entering the 'name' portion fails (though this is the domain of our AD server)...
our osx server isn't joined to our AD server. they are separate entities. so that shouldn't be a problem.
what would the proper domain name be? is that even the issue? is it windows fault?
the computer should automatically connect when it boots, if all is working properly, and should always see the folders and import automatically when a file is dropped in...
thoughts?
Thanks!
