Mac Won T Join Domain

Click the join button.

Mac won t join domain. The fact that you don t have access to the server logs implies that you don t have access to the servers which implies that you re not the administrator of the domain you re trying to join this machine to which begs the question. By default the user login options are locked to prevent unauthorized changes. The bad home with wifi where it fails to connect has other computers not macs that can easily connect to its wifi.

Select registered user or guest. To retrieve the password open keychain access select the system keychain then select the passwords category. Click connect to server at the bottom of the menu.

My macbook pro 2011 with os x mavericks can connect to wifi in some u s. Macos sierra and later can t join an active directory domain without a domain functional level of at least windows server 2008 unless you explicitly enable weak crypto even if the domain functional levels of all domains are 2008 or later the administrator may need to explicitly specify each domain trust to use kerberos aes encryption. Double click this entry then select the show password checkbox.

If you have mac desktop computers and multiple users logging into them and using them daily joining them to the domain is probably a better solution. Type the server address in the server address bar at the top of the screen. If the lock icon at the bottom left of the page is locked click it and enter your password when prompted.

This step unlocks the settings so that you can join the domain. Why are you not working with talking to whomever does administer this domain. Find the entry that looks like active directory domain where domain is the netbios name of the active directory domain.

You re prompted to enter the name of the domain you want to join. Authenticate as a local administrator as needed. I have tried restarting the wifi router in the bad home but it doesn t fix the problem.
