If you have been able to find a workaround for this issue in Mojave or High Sierra definitely drop a comment below so we can share it but I was not able to find an instance of anyone getting around this in the newer versions of OS X without going third party.
Here’s a lengthy spiceworks discussion on this topic. If you are stuck in this situation and telling your sysadmins to get a grip and migrate their domain is not an option then you may have to consider a third party AD stack. local has been against best practices for many years but not everyone has migrated their domains yet. It used to be a matter of simply changing or disabling Bonjour but that has no longer proven effective. local is what Apple’s own Bonjour uses by default. This has been a long standing issue with joining Macs to Active Directory as. You should join the domain with the “pre-Windows 2000” computer name or even better choose a name for the Mac that is 15 characters or less. This error is frequently encountered if the name of your PC is too long.
You want to make sure that all of the DNS Suffix Search List entries are listed in the “Search Domains” box pictured below: I have bolded the important things you need to verify. The easiest way to get everything you need is to issue a ipconfig /all from the command prompt of a Windows machine already joined: C:\Users\JChambers>ipconfig /all Windows can get away with this but when we are joining our Mac we need to make sure everything is populated. In many networks DHCP won’t populate everything you need. One of the big roadblocks to joining Active Directory is DNS settings. This guide will walk you through the basic steps to join Active Directory without having to resort to using third party software. In most corporate environments installing third party software is frowned upon due to licensing and security considerations so I was determined to get the native Mac OS X tools to work.
When I started researching the topic I saw a whole lot of advice to install third party software to join a Mac to Active Directory. High Sierra and Mojave now require a Active Directory functional level of Windows Server 2008 or later and are still pretty tricky to get to join it. Joining a Mac to Active Directory has continued to get more and more difficult over the years.
