I just update some iMacs to Big Sur and I am having trouble pushing a new local account to the computer. I have wiped them and reloaded from scratch and still nothing. I also renewed the MDM profile. Also Deleted the .applesetupdone file. I thought it was my payload so I deleted it an recreated a new config policy. The Admin account works fine but the Standard user doesn't login or doesn't get created. Anyone had issues like this?

So I had a Configuration Profile to setup the account that stopped working after big sur and had to move it to Computer Policy. That got it working again.

+4I have this as a computer policy and does not work. Same issue listed above. What is the Home Directory Location for your policy @emptypony61 ?

It's been a while and I am fairly sure I had a policy collision on this issue. As it was creating the account in two different policy's once I went with one it started to work.
