Macs Autoregister the WINS name instead of the Active Directory Object.

DC_IT_Manager

We are 90% Windows and 10% Macs.  The Windows are fine.

The Mac testing is not going well.  Instead of assigning the encryption information to the AD object, SafeGuard detects the Mac as a new PC using the WINS name (we don't use WINS to my knowledge).

Therefore, I cannot assign policies to the Mac and Mac POA is active and I can only use the admin / password combo for one user.  SafeGuard sees the AD object - but instead of populating the AD object with the SafeGuard information, it puts it in Auto Register.  I can't turn off POA when that happens because I can move the object out of Auto Register.

Is this a bug?  I've opened a case, but I'm hoping someone might have seen this before.

    I wiped the hard drive and started all over again.  This time it worked.  I think the issue was a 3rd party AD binding agent called Centrify Express.  I had uninstalled it - but it messed everything up.

    When I reinstalled Yosemite and bound to AD natively (after first unifying the name of the laptop in WINS and SHARING and BINDING) Safeguard not only installed, but showed up with the correct object in the AD tree in the Safeguard Management Console.
