MacOS / Network-Account Migration to Mobile (Network)-Account

Question

Hello

I recently enrolled the "Adaxes Self-Service password reset" manually on about 20 devices (no MDM).

It was a mix of iMac's and Macbook's. A few of them were Mac's with network (AD)-Accounts, so no problem and it worked fine, but the majority were Macbook's with local accounts and i was forced to join them in the AD.

I know that you need a network account and i searched in a few forums and according to these forums you need to migrate the local account with the existing network account, but that could be a bit risky, because you need to delete a few things (not entirely, but its complicated).

Maybe you guys have already experience with that kind of problem.

Answer 1

Hello,

You are correct, to be able to reset forgotten passwords using the Adaxes Self-service client, the computer must be joined to an Active Directory (AD) domain. The following Apple article should be helpful: https://support.apple.com/en-mk/guide/directory-utility/diru11f4f748/mac.
