It's been a while since I RTFM'd ADmitMac, but it's designed to work on the client, authenticating it with AD, not the other way around. I can log on as the domain admin, but I won't have admin rights on the Mac. Any non-local account runs as a non-root user. Just the same, I'll go over the docs again. Now, this may have changed since v. 2.1, which is what we are on. We had very bad stability issues with v. 3. So much so we discovered a major bug with it. 2.1 is basically stable for us. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
