Ad logins

[Liam]

iMacs running Big Sur.

 

 

 

At the minute we are experiencing AD login times of roughly around 1 minute 30 seconds when a user logs into the workstation for the first time. This is with the following settings;

 

Mobile account is created at login

 

Use UNC path from Active Directory to derive network home location – CHECKED

 

Allow authentication from any domain in the forest – CHECKED.

 

Forcing a timeout delay i.e sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow DSBindTimeout -int 15

 

 

 

 

 

Problems with this is Keychain consistently prompting user to ‘Reset to defaults’

 

 

 

Tested without creating a mobile account and logins hang! Doesn’t log user in.

 

 

 

Can anyone recommend any diagnostics to why AD logins are so slow?

What spec are the macs? 1min 30secs doesn’t sound too bad with my experience of signing into macs with AD accounts.
