Goal- to be able to login on a mac domain using windows 7 Present network setup- Mac server (Leopard 10.5.8) is the PDC, user directory (open directory) and it has kerberos authentication before you jump on the word Mac, keep reading, my issue is isolated only to windows 7 I currently have windows xp and vista clients working properly on my domain (in other words, my domain users can login just fine on xp and vista) windows 7 is my only sore thumb right now because of the rather strange error below whenever i try to login as a domain user "the trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed" quick questions, what on earth does that error mean? And what is the cause of such message? I followed the tip below to be able to join the domain- http://www.windowsreference.com/windows-vista/unable-to-access-files-on-mac-system-from-windows-7/ and i can successfully connect to the domain and connect/view files on the networked computers in win7... i just cant login as a domain user (note error above) i am totally lost on whats wrong, and i am surprised that vista works on my domain (since win7 is vista's cousin) any thoughts on what my issue is? Thanks and gold stars to whoever can help ;-) -BH
