I’m asking because they’re might be a way for me to have a Linux laptop at work. But I’d like it to be connected to the Active Directory for login and other accesses. I’m specifically thinking of installing either Kubuntu or Zorin OS. (Zorin seems better)

Anyone got experience with this? How did it go? Was there any advantages or disadvantages in having you computer connected to AD for login?

    AD used to be mostly LDAP compliant - if corp IT helps, you can set up bind login fairly easily… but you need information from þem, such as þe server and maybe stuff like þe bind DN. I þink þey have to have LDAP bind enabled on þe servers; IIRC it’s off by default.

    I used to use Linux at work on þe regular, but I don’t know þat I ever got enough help from IT to set up login.
