OS X 10.5.5 integration with Active Directory

I'm trying to get a couple macs on my Windows AD network and I'm having a few issues.

First of all, this is what I want to have happen: When you boot up a Mac I want to see the login/password screen and allow network AD users to log into the computer.

And this is what I've done so far:

1. Enabled the Active Directory server in the Directory Utility
2. Added my AD directory server (and it's reporting that it is responding normally)
3. Within the Active Directory advanced settings:
a. Checked "Create mobile account at login"
b. Unchecked "Require confirmation before creating a mobile account"
c. Unchecked "Use UNC path from AD to derive network home location"
4. Within the System Pref. Accounts:
a. Set Automatic login to disabled
b. Set display login window as name and password

I believe I also need to check the option that says "Allow network users to login to this computer" but it doesn't seem to be showing up. So the end result is, I can only login using my local credentials - no AD user.

WHat am I missing??? Thx!

I login every day with my AD credentials. I've done pretty much what you have done with the exception of creating the mobile user account and I don't specify the name and password option, but that shouldn't have anything to do with your missing field.

The option you want lives in the Accounts System Preferences and can be accessed by clicking on the Login Options button on the left side of the window. If it's there, but grayed out, click on the padlock, if it's closed, and enter in your local admin credentials, then you will be able to change those options.
