Dual AD servers

We have two AD servers configured in our JSS. Both servers are members of the same domain. However the JSS sees the same LDAP account as two different accounts. Is this a config error or a bug?

The search bases are the same on each server config for users and groups.

This is stopping the fields from being automatically populated, because it doesn't know which accounts data to use?

Thanks,

Matt

Because you've got two directory servers listed, any LDAP lookups occur against both servers. I requested some time ago to be able to assign one as a "primary" in which location info is polled only against the primary one. Thus far, it hasn't been implemented.

What you should be able to do is instead use your domain's DNS entry instead of particular domain controllers thus bringing the number of your LDAP servers down to 1.
