Howdy gents,
I'mn stuck in a bit of a predicament, and wondered if anyone had some sound advice for me. We recently migrated a lot of machines from a number of seperate consoles on our network to a single unified console (SEC 4.5.0.9). Some of these older consoles did not support Mac machines, so i have no reference for my issue. The guy who co-ordinated it all had no clue as far as mac's were concerned, got the windows ones working a charm and has now gone on leave, leaving me to figure out our problem.
We have a number of Mac machines that are bound to our domain. For example, let's say the AD name is called Mac001. in the Mac system preferences, in the sharing area, the name is set to reflects the user's name, for ease of use with Apple Remote Desktop , for example the sharing name is "My iMac". Ok, with me so far? In SEC, which is synchronised with the AD environment, I can see the AD name of Mac001, which is currently unmanaged. Remove old version, I install Sophos from CID (7.2.7), and instead of picking up my AD name, it uses the sharing name. I now have a still unmanaged mac called Mac001 and SEC has created a Mac in the unassigned folder called "My iMac". Has anybody come across this before? it's dirving me crazy. We have a single mac, out of hundreds, that seems to have picked up the AD name properly (eg in AD it's called Mac002, sharing name is "Your iMac" and it only has one account in SEC in the AD container where it should be with a display name of "Your iMac").
I'm tearing my hair out. Any ideas? Somebody must have had this problem before.
