lion woes...

AD integration in Lion is woefully broken. I don't know about 802.1x profiles specifically, but in general there's much work that needs to be done. It may have something to do with a Kerberos ticket not being generated with an AD login. Try manually creating the ticket with Ticket Viewer or kinit at the command prompt and see if that works around it.

I've been wondering about this too given the state of AD right now with
Lion. I just got notice yesterday from Cloudpath that their XpressConnect
software is ready for Lion. We use that to help folks connect to our
wireless network (it works great btw). I'm looking forward to testing it
when I get back to the office next week to see how it plays out. Maybe by
10.7.5 AD will be working again. Or maybe by then, we won't be using it.

AD and Macs hah! That was so Tiger. Want to buy an iPhone?

<quote>Maybe by 10.7.5 AD will be working again.</quote>

ummm, 10.3(.t 5), 10.4(.5) 10.6(.5) and we have 10.7

is there a pattern...?? John, I am not having a go at you, more Apple and when an OS is ready for enterprise. With age come responsibility... maybe....

I would not look at lion until at least 10.7.4 (and this will give you issues, Tom had it....), 10.7.5 is a magic number... maybe it is just me! Or the doubting Thomas's in this world...

Tomos

but if you wait until then you will barely get it rolled out before the next OS is out. and that's assuming you don't buy any new hardware between now and when you need to upgrade.

Yup... But since 10.6.6 is a prerequisite... here's guessing they have changed the requirement of the base hardware... (hopefully)

:-)

That would make my life 10 times easier. We ran into that with 10.6 and had horrid compatibility issues with 10.5. Somehow we made it through without requiring any hardware refreshes for users. We just deployed about 50 replacement machines and rushed them before the big lion could "roar" its way into our environment and reek havoc.

I'm putting lion on my first test machine now...here's hoping. From what it sounds I'll be in trouble since we use AD, 802.11, Kerberos, AND PGP. Strike-out.
