All of my managed Macs have a login window Profile that prevents automatic login. End result: Everyone must authenticate at the OS X login window with AD (or cahched) credentials. Typical IT privacy/secuirty policy etc.
I deployed a new home/remote office Mac for an executive. Other than having a non-AD local account, I didnt give his Mac any special configurations or policies/profiles etc. His Mac is (nearly) configured idential to everyone else.
The executive got home and booted-up his Mac.He requested for me to allow Automatic Login ("my previous Macs let me do it..."). He wants to be able boot right into his user session without being prompted. Yes - this is a secuirty issue etc but that's what he wants and he's the boss so...)
I went back to the JSS and I created an exclusion for the login window Config Profile. The JSS indicates that the Mac no longer has the Profile installed, however, the option to enable Automatic Login is still grayed-out in the System Preference Pane (even though he is a local admin).
This is my first time managing a remote "special case" system with JAMF, so I'm still figuring out these types of logistics etc.
Questions:
Why is this particular Mac still "holding on" to the original login window settings even though I excluded his Mac later and the profile is no longer present on said Mac?
What do I need to do to make sure this particluar Mac will allow Automatic Login again?
