<p><b>New page</b></p><div>A small number of Middlebury College users are unable to login on domain-bound Macs. The login window returns this message: You are unable to login in to the user account 'JSMITH' at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred. <br />
<br />
The issue is limited to users whose "Home Folder" attribute has been set in AD (to anything other than Local). There's very few users with this attribute set such, but a client-side fix will be in place anyways. <br />
<br />
This is NOT an issue with our AD, rather a poor choice of default settings on Apple's side (not really a bug, just a poor choice, see fix below). <br />
<br />
*Helpdesk staff can login to the computer to fix the issue. <br />
*Open Applications =&gt; Utilities =&gt; Directory Utility =&gt; Click 'Services' (on top toolbar) <br />
*You may need to authenticate (lock button in lower left corner). Double-click "Active Directory", click "Show Advanced Options". <br />
*Under the "User Experience" tab, '''uncheck''' "Use UNC path from Active Directory" <br />
*OK =&gt; Apply =&gt; Logout. Issue should be fixed.<br />
