Looks like the login payload for fast user Switching doesn't work on new mac OS 11 and one else have that issue?

Any news to fix this issue?

Thanks

Not to my knowledge

At the very least, I'm glad I'm not suffering alone here.

😂

If you Lock the Screen first, then you can select switch users, this worked in Monterey.  
Interestingly, I can connect with our pulse secure VPN to our on premises network with a device bound to AD,  locked the screen, VPN connection stays up and I can login in with a AD credentials and a mobil account is created and i'm logged in to the account.
 
I did find a fast user switching setting for the menu bar;
system preferences-> Dock & Menu Bar -> Fast User Switching -> Show in Menu Bar
system preferences-> Dock & Menu Bar -> Fast User Switching -> Show in Control Center
 
I still have to Exclude the device from the configuration policy that uses the option login window to turn on fast user switching before I could set these. And I had to repeat this for each user on the device and then remove the device exclusion of the configuration profile.
 
Not a practical work around. For me, locking the screen will have to be good enough for now.  If you'er participating in apple seed submit an issue in the feedback assistant black hole, maybe they will address this.   It might be a JAMF issue if there is a MDM command to set Fast User Switching in Menu Bar.

When I run the commands manually - it works. Pushing a script with Jamf failed, haven't been able to test why. Using Monterey with M1 iMacs
