There is also Likewise Open (http://www.likewise.com/products/likewise_open/)... which is not part of Fedora... but a third-party app available for Fedora.  I thought there was a package in Fedora for the same thing but I can't seem to locate it at the moment.

I've tried Likewise Open in a previous version of Fedora and it worked
very well and by just installing the rpm and following the GUI wizard
on the desktop i wanted to integrate. So i would recommend it.

Hey All,
Sorry for the delay in replying!

Likewise Open looks like a great way to accomplish this; I have let them know, and they'll be testing it out soon.

Thanks!

Fedora + Active Directory

[Dasun Lokuhetty]

Likewise can be use to integrate Linux with AD, but it requires some changes
to the schema of the AD, and that drops the Microsoft warranty out of the
door for that AD. therefore it'll not be a good enterprise solution,

I didn't had to modified anything in the AD to integrate the Linux
clinets in this AD.
But maybe it has changed since my old test.

Likewise Open works completely on the client side and does NOT require the changes you mentioned.  Well, you did NOT say "Open" after Likewise so I guess you were talking about the full blow product that is both client side and server side software.

Give the goal of Likewise, as well as the one or two competing commercial products in the same space... altering the AD server side so it can manage Linux and Mac OS X clients seems unavoidable.  And to the best of my knowledge everyone does it that way.  I guess you can get around it by decided not to manage Linux and Mac OS X clients at all.

Please note that I do not advocate the use or non-use of Likewise or any other commercial solution as I've not tried any of them... but I've read about them.  Like everyone on this list, I do prefer open solutions when they are available.

Of course, but yo can integrate any Linux system already with kerbose and
the only requirement to integrate a fedora system in to a AD is to achieve
the full features of the AD such as personal data, etc.. To achieve this you
cannot use Likewise open you need to have the full product.  isnt it?
