Q: Only local users display in login list
I have recently installed El Capitan on an iMac and am having problems with network users login settings. The server is running Mavericks with OS X Server 3
The first problem is the login screen. If set to list it shows only users created locally on the iMac. It doesn't even have the "other" option. If I change to display username and password I can login to network accounts without any problem but this method is not what I want.
File Vault is not turned on. The settings are almost all default. This was a clean install and other than binding to the server and allowing network user login I made no changes before my first attempt.
Since then I've created other local users and made changes to the login options for testing but nothing else.
Profile Manager on the server is set to display "other" and a list of network users (I've changed those settings a couple of times for testing but nothing changes).
It may be unrelated but I've found that other changes in Profile Manager seem to have no effect. Eg I have made one of the network users a mobile account but it doesn't get set as mobile on the iMac.
Can anyone give me guidance on where to look next?
Mac mini, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

Thank you both.
I finally got to the bottom of it.
I deleted the profiles, removed settings from Profile Manager, turned it off and then started from scratch. Maybe I did things in a different order this time but I realised that device settings were overriding user settings. I'd only set up a login windows payload for the user group not for the device. As the configuration is saved in /Library/Preferences rather than ~/Library/Preferences I suppose this is logical (and with hindsight obvious). Setting up the payload in the device settings solved the problem.
Sorry dwbrecovery, for some reason I can't mark any of your posts as helpful.
