Connecting a Mac to an Active Directory server

- In this section I'd like to talk about adding a…Macintosh client to a Windows Active Directory domain.…Active Directory is the Microsoft implementation…of a directory service and it's something you…may not have on a small network.…It's really geared more towards medium and large networks.…If you are in fact, working with an Active Directory domain,…you might be a little surprised to see how easy…it is to add a Macintosh client.…I'll start off by going to the system folder,…then library, then core services, and what I'm…looking for here is the directory utility.…

I'll need to click on the lock icon in the…lower left to unlock to make changes.…You'll probably be prompted for a user name and password.…Then I'll select Active Directory and I'll need…to click on the pencil icon to edit further settings.…Really not a whole lot of settings I have to provide here.…I need to give it the name of the…domain and mine is small network.…Then I'll click bind and when I do that I'll be…prompted for a user name and password.…
