Network accounts are unavailable

After binding MacBook to Active Directory at forst I'm getting the Other... icon for login to network account but after restart the option is gone and I have no idea why.

After logging in on a local account and going to System Settings > Users & Groups > NetworkAccount server has a green dot and shows that "Domain is responding normally" when I click on Edit.

How can I get the Other.. option to login to a network account consistently, why does it vanish?

I have tried this on severeal different MacBooks, 4 of them in total, the behaviour is the same.
