We need to authenticate against AD. When students log in to the ubuntu thin client, it should match their user name and password to what's in AD and then map their network folder to something in ubuntu so they can open and save files to a common space. Beyond that I don't know as I don't really know AD.

You get a free latte.<br><br>Thanks for the interest. I really do need some help on this and it's good experience for your resume so don't hesitate to volunteer.
