Hi all
I have setup a new MacBook on the corporate network and am able to log in with an AD account no problem. Once logged in I can browse the network and access internet. The mac is encrypted with File vault so I converted the network account to a mobile account but after doing this I cannot get Internet to work even though the settings for the proxy server are all correct. The proxy that is being used is Sophos Web Appliance.
Has anyone experienced this before?
Cheers
Steve
Create and configure mobile accounts on Mac
A mobile account lets you access your server-based network user account remotely. You use your network account user name and password to log in, whether or not you’re connected to the network.
Before you start, ask your network account server administrator to set up a mobile user account for you.
> System Preferences, then click Users & Groups 
.
, click it to unlock the preference pane.If the login window displays a list of users, your mobile account name is included in the list, and you can click it to log in (you don’t need to click Other, and then enter your account name). You set the login window to display a list of users in Users & Groups Login Options preferences.

Intro to mobile device management
Once the device is Enrolled in the MDM Service it becomes the Responsibility of the Service to enable this.
One may need to communicate with that Service or IT Department to move this along with the process.
Thanks for the reply

Is the above something that needs to be done within Active Directory or just on the MacBook itself?
