10.11 El Capitain - Domain Login Weirdness!

[jdell]

I am working on a 10.11 Build for our 21" iMac's and have found the following weirdness wondered if anyone has seen/resolved these issues;

 

 

• When users log in they do not get the default profile - however if you make a local user they do
  
• When a user logs in there download folder links to there Windows Home drive but the documents does not it crashes when you click on it.
  

 

If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

hmm smells like permissions.

We had a nightmare with SMB 2 with macs and windows machines talking to each other. We use SMB 1 protocol now and all seems fine.

Terminal command here to set SMB 1 on the machine (requires restart) worth a test.

 

Info taken from an Apple forum:

 

There's also a possibility to change all connections to use SMB1 system-wide (for all users) by entering this command in Terminal:

 

sudo sh -c "echo '[default]' >> /etc/nsmb.conf; echo 'smb_neg=smb1_only' >> /etc/nsmb.conf"

 

 

To restore the default SMB2 you simply need to delete the newly created configuration file (nsmb.conf) with the command:

 

sudo rm /etc/nsmb.conf

For AD login make sure you have "Force local home directory on startup disk" checked off. This maybe your issue. I've been using the "Create mobile account at login" option which automatically enabled the force local directory.

Are you saying that opening documents causes apps to crash?

As of this yea I've turned off home drive mounting using the AD plugin "Use UNC path from Active Directory to derive network home location".

I created a script myself this year to mount AD automatically here http://www.edugeek.net/forums/mac/158150-os-x-mount-active-directory-home-drive-automatically-working-solution-os-x-10-10-a.html

Hi Carter,

 

I'm getting a 404 error when trying to download your .zip with the script in.
