This problem has been discussed fairly recently on the macenterprise.org mailing list. We've seen the same problem here at CU with our AD-bound laptops. The working theory is that if the DC is resolvable from off-campus, which ours is, but can't be connected to (firewalled off), the machines will hang until the connection attempt times out. We've yet to find a way to change the timeout value, but the same problem exists with our PC laptops, so this problem isn't just a mac issue. The PC laptops get around it by being able to open a VPN connection before login. Lance Ogletree from Rice U posted to the macenterprise list a possible solution. After having the user login and having their credentials cached, he removed the AD server from the authentication path in Directory Access. The user could still login to the machine with their cached AD logins, and the machine wouldn't try to connect to the AD. A downside obviously is that any password changes made to the user's AD password wouldn't be reflected on the laptop. -- Jeff Greene University of Colorado at Boulder ITS Educational Technology Engineering and Design |
