Active Directory login

active-directory

I am new to Mac's. I have a new MacBook Air OS X 10.9.5. I was given and told to get it on our active directory domain. I was able to figure out how to bind it to AD. I have allow network users to log in at login windows checked. When accessing options, I have allow all network users.
Directory Utility User Experience, selected create mobile account, selected Use UNC path from Active Directory, Network protocol to be used smb, Administrative, allow administration by checked and allow authenctication from any domain in the forest checked. I have also checked remote login in sharing. When i log off or restart, I am never prompted with login to login to Active Directory. Can someone help me.

Thanks in advance
Mike

Thanks to Gordon Davisson question. It pointed me in the right direction.
I was connected to both wireless and wired. Once I turned off wireless and rebooted, I was able to login with a network account. the problem was, I was connecting to the guest netowrk and it was unable to find the domain. Once I turned off Wi-Fi I was able to log in

Thank you all, Mike

You might be out of luck. Sounds like the AD authentication isn't caching your credentials locally so you can login when you're away from your AD server.

You can go brute force on the problem:

Hold down the power button your MacBook Pro for ~5 seconds until the machine shuts itself off. Power it back on and use your local credentials to log in instead of your AD credentials.

Once you're back up and running run /System/Library/CoreServices/Directory Utility. Click the lock icon to unlock the settings. Highlight Active Directory in the list and click the pen icon to edit the settings. In the window that pops up click the Show Advanced Options and make sure that Create mobile account at login is checked. This ensures you can login when the AD server isn't present.

Does this command not work for you?
