our active directory ends with .local so we have huge issues with name resolving since osx sees .local as a bonjour local network

In the end we licensed Centrify DirectControl. We'll see how that works out.
Wow, Apple is REALLY pushing AD support with the iPhone and Leopard. I have to say though, it's evident that Apple hasn't been focusing their attention on AD completely. What I'd like to see would be an AD manager on Macs(no command line required), as well as an easier way to implement schemas(perhaps a one-stop installer for Windows 2003/2008) to support all of Macs permissions. I think Apple will eventually support this. If Apple is able to nail AD down by 10.6, they'll have a lot of people banging on their door after M$ is pushing them to move to Vista.
