Questions about a Mac and AD....

Submitted by dva on Mon, 11/26/2007 - 3:06pm.

We are starting to see more Mac usage by our faculty, and have been able
to integrate our iMacs into our Active Directory pretty easily.
However, we just ran into a problem...a faculty member with a Mac Book
Pro took his laptop home for the first time this semester, and then
could not log in. His "account" is in Active Directory, and without
the network, no login.

On XP laptops, the SAM database is cached locally, so that when someone
takes their laptop away from our network, they can still log in and get
their profile. Any way to accomplish this with a Mac?
