Convert mobile accounts to local accounts (and make them Admins)

[HariSeldon]

Hello!

At the school where I work we are planning to convert the mobile user accounts (connected to AD) to local user accounts, and make them admins.

I saw the fantastic script on rtrouton's GitHub. 

I tested it on a test machine and works like a charm, though the issue I have is that it asks for user input, and trying to push it via policy in Jamf, it simply waits.

So the question is: is there a way for me to achieve this via Jamf Pro, without the use of Jamf Connect (we currently don't have it)?

Thank you

Also I am using the same script as our devices are no longer bound to AD and no AD account on the device, instead we are using Kerboros SSO Extension. I had to adjust the script in a way that it doesn't ask user input. As admin, I can decide if the converted account should habe an admin right or not. Well it work like a charm.

As long as you have credentials for both accounts, it should be possible. I would start here with Rich's write up 

[HariSeldon]

Thank you, though it's not exactly what I'm looking for.

When I test the script on a test machine, the scripts needs user input in order to run. If I run the script via Jamf (with a policy), I can't see any of the user input, hence the script doesn't run, it just waits.

Maybe I'm missing some detail?

[Tribruin]

Since scripts run as Administrator when run from Jamf, you can't get user input via terminal. You would have to rework the script to prompt the user via another tool (such as AppleScript or, maybe, SwiftDialog).

@HariSeldon  My apologies, I posted in the wrong chat

[HariSeldon · Accepted solution]

No worries @efil4xiN, I figured :-)

Thank you @MehdiYawari & @Tribruin .

I actually figured it out, confirming also what @MehdiYawari: I removed the user inputs ("select" menus) and now it works perfectly also from Jamf!

[Malcolm]

Im looking to do this for our exiting users through policy run script, by removing the input menus from the script will this just apply to the account running the script or all the mobile users it finds?

[Malcolm]

@HariSeldon 
can you share your version to skip the select options? I'm having trouble doing that, and I don't see why.

[HariSeldon]

Hey Malcolm,

What I did that worked for my case was to:

• remove the "select" menu's leaving only the core commands to do the job, like so:

• changing the "select" menu to a for loop - it's located in the central part of the script, that lets one select the username from variable "netname"

[Malcolm]

Thanks, I ended up re-engineering script, it will process all mobile accounts and also then repeat and process all accounts as admin accounts for local accounts.

In the original, it seemingly does follow up checks which seem unnecessary for the task at hand. The netuser seems unnecessary as it had already determined that the user was an Active Directory one when extracting the users.

I might need to check mine above, as I want to remove the Active Directory status as the very last step, so to confirm all previous steps have completed.

I also want to see if there's a section to check if an account is disabled, as demobilising an account while it is disabled, is not going to have a very good outcome I suspect.

[Malcolm]

actually the script above is not quite right, so I will try your changes and see how I go

looked like it was working but the end user couldn't change their password.

# Further modified by Lorenzo Fittarelli
#
# Version 1.0 - Migrates an Active Directory mobile account to a local account by the following process:

# 1. Detect if the Mac is bound to AD and offer to unbind the Mac from AD if desired
# 2. Display a list of the accounts with a UID greater than 1000
# 3. Remove the following attributes from the specified account:

# 2. The "accounttype" variable is now checking the AuthenticationAuthority attribute instead of the OriginalNodeName attribute. 
#    The reason for Change 2's attributes change is that the AuthenticationAuthority attribute will exist following the conversion

[Malcolm]

Thanks, it seems to collect non Active Directory Users, and loops on them in this section, post the script running.

				/usr/bin/printf "The $netname account is not a AD mobile account

I think I can potentially fix it though.

[Malcolm]

seemingly the until command was forcing it to recheck

I've changed

	until [ "$user" == "FINISHED" ]; do

for netname in $listUsers; do

Not sure why at this point re running the script was collecting non active directory users post a successful run.

just a few more tests to be done this change and I thin I can pull the trigger on its use, for our exit process, and also to help migrate staff over to Jamf connect

[Malcolm]

my best guess it is a cached variable from the first successful run.

[JMenacker]

@Malcolm would you be willing to share your latest working version of this v1.5 automation of the script? Running into some strange inconsistencies and wanted to try another script since I've made so many modifications to this one. Any help/insights are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

sudo jamf recon

I don't believe I actually made a change in the end, but this is what is working for me, running it via policy works, where as running it locally, it gets a lil messy cause it wants all the privileges that the mdm management account has.

so worth testing it as a policy on a device rather than a local script.
I may have added the Jamf recon at the end, so to identify to the MDM that the device is no longer AD bound, so that it doesn't continue to repeat, based on the mdm record not having updated info about the AD status of the device. But it probably was always there.
