Guest Anwar Mahmood Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Hi all, I'm working on a project to integrate Macs to a predominantly Windows Server 2003 Active Directory network. In a test environment, I've joined an iMac to Active Directory and can successfully logon with different Active Directory accounts. I then want to print to network printers. This is most reliably achieved using UNIX standards on the iMac and on the Windows Server 2003 box. So, I've installed Print Services for UNIX on the server, created a printer and shared it. I can create a printer on the iMac and print successfully to the shared printer without problems. However, if I then modify the default permissions, withdrawing the Everyone entry from the Security tab list and only permitting individual users to print, the permissions are enforced when I test them using a Windows XP box, but not for the iMac. I've used the Advanced>Effective Permissions feature to verify that the account is indeed not entitled to print, but it still works. I'm very puzzled by this behaviour. This is a runtime Windows Server 2003 SP2 x86-32 Standard server, patched to the hilt then promoted to an AD DC. I've lowered one security setting relating to digitally signed communications that is necessary for OS X to join an Active Directory domain, but nothing else. Anyone else encountered this? Kindest regards, Anwar
