I have got my rectangular grid in Adobe Illustrator CS3 on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3:
How do I make it so that it puts a shape/dot/object on the intersections, where the lines meet each other?

I was preparing my answer with screen shots and @ueberkim answered quick and brief, good work, it should work if it doesn't there's something wrong with you software, try deleting Illustrator preferences file(google that) to reset the software to its defaults setting. Good Luck ! Commented Feb 14, 2012 at 13:14

You need enable the Snap Option, and Smart Guides
In your case, Snap to Point is the case (View > Snap to Point)
.
And the Smart Guides (View > Smart Guides)

Cheers, this works. Good detailed answer. Shame I can't upvote with 3 reputation.– gadgetmoCommented Feb 14, 2012 at 13:25
Another option to this is to set up a rectangular (sic!) grid (View > Show Grid) and work with *iew > Snap To Grid option set. The rectangular grid can be easily set via AIPrefs (Windows, CS6) or Adobe Illustrator Cloud Prefs (Windows, CC) or Adobe Illustrator Prefs (Mac, CS6) or Adobe Illustrator Cloud Prefs (Mac, CC) file located under Adobe Illustrator XX Settings.
