I have a Macbook Pro that uses ActiveDirectory for authentication. However, when I go to System Preferences to make changes, it gives me the following error:
If I run

dscl . -read /Users/ AuthenticationAuthority
, everything seems to be ok but I think that the local password has become out of sync with ActiveDirectory.
Is there a way to tell my local account to resync with ActiveDirectory?
Or is there a different interpretation of what might be going on?
I tried this soln (seen here https://www.reddit.com/r/macsysadmin/comments/ahhpdd/password_mismatch/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x) root> Sysadminctl -secureTokenOff -password interactive
but am not able to disable my own SecureToken.
