Login to AD

[itfool]

Hi,

 

I am not a mac expert at all. I had to rebuild our 10 macs within the Art Department. I have upgraded them to High Sierra and everything seems to have gone well. I have set their names to the following Artmac01 and added a static DNS record into AD DNS Server. I have then binded the mac into the network. There is a green light and the name of the domain. When I logout the mac it comes up with two users 1) Administrator 2) Other when I click on other it asks for username and password/ I am able to login with a domain account and password.

 

This is my problem, when I logout the domain account and the machine returns to the login screen there is only the administrator login showing the other account icon is not there. When I login to the machine the machine is still in AD as the little green light next to the domain name is showing.

 

Is there any one that could shed some light on this problem or point me in the right direction please.

 

Regards,

From System Preferences/Users and Groups, you can choose to show a username and password box instead of clickable IDs. This is a better bet for domain machines.

Thanks very much that worked a treat

Thanks, this is really helpful when wanting to change domains.
