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.

    Chris:

    If you could see my other post about how to change or add owners to the Mac, I would appreciate it.  Even though I can add a new owner in the management console, it doesn't change anything in the Mac FileVault pre-boot login.  It's always the original user who installed on the mac.

    The Mac syncs correctly with the server.

    Appreciate some help on this one too.

    Thanks.
