I have recently started using Snow Leopard and besides having to recompile an Applescript app, things have been going good. One big bug that I have noticed is that when I’m logged in as an Active Directory user, Software Update doesn’t work. It seems to hang after you press the Install button. There is a [...]
The dreaded “Invalid user name and password combination” error that can be given in Directory Utility, can be the biggest pain for us Admins. I found these three commands allowed me to re-bind successfully. Give it a try and let us know your results. These must be done as root or with the sudo command. [...]
