Add Active Directory payload options for Apple devices
The Directory payload for Mac computers can use some Active Directory options that may not appear in the user interface of a device management service.
The following Active Directory configuration keys can be added to the Directory payload, of type com.apple.DirectoryService.managed. Note that some settings are set only if the associated flag key is set to “true.” For example, ADPacketEncryptFlag needs to be set to “true” to set the ADPacketEncrypt key to “enable.”
