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.

    Ahoi,

    SafeGuard Enterprise support a central user (objects) assignment for Windows clients only.

    Does mean if you try to do the similar things for OS X clients - this will have no impact / nothing will add for the OS X client.

    If you want to expand the list of allowed users you need to login once at the OS X client with the required user account. And if you do this you need to provide once the valid password if requested by SafeGuard Enterprise. After this process is done you will see the new user objects below the user inventory information at the SafeGuard Enterprise Management Center as well. 

    Best regards
