Default Windows 2003 Server - Active Directory Questions

Hello people,
OK, I have this nice 2003 server running AD.

I want to get my Mac OS X clients to authenticate to it using the Active Directory Plugin or the LDAP plugin. Alas my knowledge of such things is not great, and it's failing to bind to the domain.

Can someone tell me, where, on the 2003 server, I can find out the following information:

The name of the domain controller.
The OU and the other acronyms I can't recall.

TIA

name of the dc is the server name,

The OU name depends on the OU Name you want.

If you install the support tools from the server cd, you can then use the LDAP tool to browse the Directory Services.

Let me know if you get stuck.

Thanks David,

OK, think I've worked out the OU, and I'm now using the Support Tools to browse Directory Services.
