Configuring AD with macOS mobile account
I'm needing to use Active Directory and file sharing to create functional macOS mobile accounts. I've created the user accounts in AD and assigned them to a Profile Path on a valid share. I success...
Summary of Key Steps to Resolve:
- Confirm the Profile Path in AD and ensure the SMB share permissions are correct.
- Enable mobile account creation on macOS during login (System Preferences > Users & Groups).
- Ensure the file server supports SMB and that macOS is using it.
- Check macOS Console logs and permissions for errors when creating the mobile account and profile folder.
- Ensure mobile account settings in Directory Utility are configured to map to the profile path.
By carefully checking these areas, you should be able to get macOS mobile accounts working with Active Directory roaming profiles.
