I think David mentioned in his Ten Talk that we’re running NoMAD on both domain joined and non-domain joined Macs. Our experience shows that the non-domain joined systems just seem to work more reliably overall and have noticeably faster login times and just less ‘weird stuff.’ Plus we don’t fight with the constant issues Apple seems to create with every new release of macOS (I’m half-convinced they don’t do QA testing against AD-joined systems) NoMAD solves the SMB access without retyping passwords problem. With all that said, you DO lose the admin group for logins. We solve that by creating a unique local admin account on each system we manage.
Only our team has the password for that account and it’s never given to end users. I hope that info helps. If you have any more questions, feel free to reply. I’m sure others are wondering the same thing and we’re happy to share our experiences if it helps others. First off: NoMAD is 100% free. So your only ‘cost’ is time to learn/implement it.
That’s certainly a big part of the attraction. If you have no issues with your AD-bound Macs today, then you may not find any real value in NoMAD. For us, we have seen the following benefits:. password expiration reminders. Nearly complete elimination of keychain issues. simple method for changing password (menubar icon).
continued bugs from Apple with domain-bound systems (slow login, can’t update password, etc.). Without binding, we eliminate these and any future macOS with AD issues. improved login speeds.

AD bound systems tend to just be slower to login. Baffling, but we can reproduce on-demand at several clients. Looking at auto-mounting and 1-click-mounting of network shares. Simplified WiFi connections for 802.1x user-based authentication.
