Enabling Mobile Accounts 'Breaks' AD binding...?

[Zoatibix]

Hello,

 

A while back I had issues with AD Domain bound macs - when I ticked the lovely 'Create Mobile Accounts' box it would somehow corrupt their binding - users couldn't log on and I'd have to droped the machine off the domain and then rebind.

 

Then I realised I could set that up as a set in DeployStudio as part of the imaging process. They would bind and mobile accounts would work without issue.

 

Now, however, we've moved over to Parallels and are installing High Sierra and we're getting the same problem.

 

Is there a proper procedure I should be following to get this working?

 

Thank you.

I've realised that enabling mobile accounts works correctly if I enable the option as part of the initial 'bind to domain' step when imaging the machine.

Do you have special characters like a $ in your users ad home drives ?

Hello. No, we set the profile in AD as \\fileservername\staff\fred.bloggs for example.

 

I know we have issues with Macs and the ADFS shares that our Windows users have, so our mac using students are flagged by course code to have their home drives mapped as above.
