If you still have v1.6.3, know that it still works perfectly on 10.14 (still not tested above) while v1.7b5 has issues!

I'm doing some AD migration of Macbook to change local user folder to AD user folder, when I follow the guide here: https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/120667-convert-local-mac-user-into-active-directory-network-user-no-terminal-tasks-required in step 25 to 27, that recommanded to use the BatChmod to change the permission of the user folder, I cannot find the AD group under the "Group" filed, not sure if that is version different as the guide line is from 2016 which was few years ago, would anyone know which item should I pick from the list?

I have a Mac and was installing an external bootable SSD. After several re-formats due to Apple's use of a new file system for the latest operating systems, I was stumped by a "drive locked" issue. I tried several methods to unlock the drive, including using Terminal command lines. Nothing worked until BatChmod. It was simple, intuitive, and very fast. I highly recommend it for Mac users.

I'm still on macOS 10.12 and Batchmod works perfectly. It's crazy that Apple doesn't provide a way to do this in the GUI. Batchmod is simple and essential. It's definitely a utility that should be installed on every Mac.
