Authenticate LogMeIn on Mac against Windows DC
Hello,
I have some Macintosh computers attached to a domain where the servers are Windows based systems. I'm using Active Directory. When I install LogMeIn on Windows clients, the software automatically makes me authenticate against the domain controller unless there are only local accounts found on the client. However, when I log in to the Macintosh clients, I am required to log in to local clients and cannot authenticate against the domain controller. This is an issue because when we set up domains/networks for our clientelle and they have OSX devices, we can't utilize the adminstrator accounts that we set up on the domain to access them.
TL;DR - How do I get LogMeIn on a Macintosh computer to authenticate against a Windows Domain Controller?
Thanks in advance!

MatthiasINC Yes, it was a change that Apple enforced recently -- at least for all Mojave users (the current Mac OS). If I hear of a way to mass-deploy for Macs, I will certainly update this thread with new information.
AshC ,
Thank you for your reply. I am not sure if I'm dealing with Mojave systems - I don't do very much with Macintosh related devices so I'm a bit lost here. Is Mojave an OSX release? The OSX I'm using is High Sierra. Once again, thank you for your help.
MatthiasINC If you are dealing with Mojave systems, Mac has recently started requiring end user permissions to allow system level privy. Unfortunately I haven't heard of a way around this yet, without being physically at the Mac station to allow the requests.
