No, you could define an initial setup for such settings, but it does nothing to solve the issues I've spoken to above. Is there any predefined option for things like bookmarks, settings and applications. Thanks for the reply but how can JAMF solve the bookmark issues. Failing that home directories is all you will be able to achieve. You will need to implement some kind of Mac management environment such as JAMF or at least Apple Configurator as a minimum. In regards to things like bookmarks, settings, applications etc that is just not possible with only AD. This will use the UNC path from AD to derive the directory location. It is possible to map shared home directories by binding the Macs to AD using the Directory Utility in MacOS and creating a mobile account at login.
Autocad for mac local vs roaming windows#
Macs do not operate roaming profiles in the same way as Windows in an AD environment. With the release of Sierra support for such a thing is even harder to get working right. Succinctly put, you will not be able to achieve a true roaming profile experience in the Mac without a lot of problems and even then it probably won’t work properly and cause you more issues than necessary.

These will help you deliver a consistent user experience across all workstations in terms of settings and software availability etc however it won’t help you with your “profile issues” Jamf is a tool to allow you to centrally manage a Mac environment in a similar way to group policy in windows by setting up configuration profiles for your machines. These settings and preferences are not network centric and will not work that way. But that will only apply to the workstation in question. Each user account that has logged on will have its own set of pref and plist data that will store such information as bookmarks etc etc.
You have to try not to think of MacOS user preferences in the same way as a traditional Windows Logon profile. Your getting yourself into complex territory with this really. You need to ensure said accounts are institutional(ly-provided) IDs. You/one could solve the bookmark issue by having users login to an existing account in Chrome, which will sync their bookmarks. Point being: It's "possible," but not hand-written kludges that you and you alone will have to research and implement, there is no turnkey solution here.īind them to AD, that is natively supported - but there are reported issues with Sierra, still getting ironed out - I strongly suspect people have issues with an invalid TLD (or still horsing around with a single-label domain, or thinking ".local" is any kind of way to work in this day and age), and improperly setup DNS = far too many thing their DNS is setup correctly when it is not, especially when adding the requirement of supporting any non-Windows OS. (They stopped providing natively supported home syncing as of 10.12/mac OS Sierra). This is not going to work the way you are hoping (for).Īpple is quite explicitly moving away from network home support for some time (meaning "yes" it can work but Apple puts no resources into supporting it so you're really on your own making it work anymore), particularly network home sync and doesn't officially support it anymore, certainly not as of macOS Sierra.
