# Guidance and inspiration from Lisa Davies:

#
# Modified by Rich Trouton
#
# Version 1.0 - Migrates an Active Directory mobile account to a local account by the following process:

# 1. Detect if the Mac is bound to AD and offer to unbind the Mac from AD if desired
# 2. Display a list of the accounts with a UID greater than 1000
# 3. Remove the following attributes from the specified account:
# 
# cached_groups
# cached_auth_policy
# CopyTimestamp - This attribute is used by the OS to determine if the account is a mobile account
# SMBPrimaryGroupSID
# OriginalAuthenticationAuthority
# OriginalNodeName
# SMBSID
# SMBScriptPath
# SMBPasswordLastSet
# SMBGroupRID
# PrimaryNTDomain
# AppleMetaRecordName
# MCXSettings
# MCXFlags
#
# 4. Selectively modify the account's AuthenticationAuthority attribute to remove AD-specific attributes.
# 5. Restart the directory services process
# 6. Check to see if the conversion process succeeded by checking the OriginalNodeName attribute for the value "Active Directory"
# 7. If the conversion process succeeded, update the permissions on the account's home folder.
# 8. Prompt if admin rights should be granted for the specified account
#
# Version 1.1
#
# Changes:
# 
# 1. After conversion, the specified account is added to the staff group.  All local accounts on this Mac are members of the staff group,
#    but AD mobile accounts are not members of the staff group.
# 2. The "accounttype" variable is now checking the AuthenticationAuthority attribute instead of the OriginalNodeName attribute. 
#    The reason for Change 2's attributes change is that the AuthenticationAuthority attribute will exist following the conversion 
#    process while the OriginalNodeName attribute may not.
#
#
# Version 1.2
#
# Changes:
#
# Add RemoveAD function to handle the following tasks:
#
# 1. Force unbind the Mac from Active Directory
# 2. Deletes the Active Directory domain from the custom /Search and /Search/Contacts paths
# 3. Changes the /Search and /Search/Contacts path type from Custom to Automatic
# 
# Thanks to Rick Lemmon for the suggested changes to the AD unbind process.
#
# Version 1.3
#
# Changes:
#
# Fix to account password backup and restore process. Previous versions 
# of the script were adding extra quote marks to the account's plist 
# file located in /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users/.
#
# Version 1.4
#
# Changes:
#
# macOS 10.14.4 will remove the the actual ShadowHashData key immediately 
# if the AuthenticationAuthority array value which references the ShadowHash
# is removed from the AuthenticationAuthority array. To address this, the
# existing AuthenticationAuthority array will be modified to remove the Kerberos
# and LocalCachedUser user values.
#
# Thanks to the anonymous reporter who provided the bug report and fix.

Thanks for sharing the script, unfortunately, I ended up with an error, kindly look into this

The user name is not reflecting for converting AD account to local profile

Thanks for sharing the script, helped a lot :)
