We're in the process of doing a PoC using Jamf pro & based on the results we may procure the same. If you do go with NoMAD, I would also highly suggest you check out the companion application, NoMAD Login.

Since we rolled it out in our shop about 3 years ago, we have had so many less password issues with our Macs than we had back when the machines were being bound.

NoMAD will give you all the benefits of binding a Mac to your domain, plus a whole lot more AND, you won't have all those password headaches. and a whole lot of headaches when users forget their passwords, try to change their passwords, their passwords become out of sync with FV, etc.Ī much better option is to go with a product like NoMAD ( which stands for No More Active Directory) if you are using on prem AD, or Jamf Connect ( formerly NoMAD Pro, and you do not need Jamf in your environment to use it) if you are using Azure AD. The question you shoudl be asking is, WHY would you join them? As Jeff-JRG pointed out, you are really only going to get authentication services. Once the User accounts are created add them to the appropriate Windows security group that is specified in the NPS policy.As a make sys admin for a number of years now, I thought I would chime in. Perform these steps for each computer you want to authenticate.
Make sure to check User cannot change password and Password never expires. Enter the password which is the same string as the User logon name. Enter the MAC address without uppercase or delimiting characters for User logon name.ħ. Right click the OU where you want to create the User account.ĥ. Open Active Directory Users and Computers console.Ģ. This is the MAC address without uppercase or delimiting characters.ġ. When connecting to an SSID where MAC based authentication is required, the computer will send its username and password as 012345678abc. Suppose a Windows domain member computer has the MAC address 01:23:45:67:8a:bc on its wireless interface. After the User accounts have been created, they can be placed in a Windows security group for authentication. This User account is not the same as its Active Directory computer object. Therefore each domain computer requires an associated Windows User account in Active Directory to authenticate. With MAC based authentication, domain member computers use the MAC address of their wireless interface as the username and password.
