include it.

If you change the name of a user account in the Active Directory domain, the server
creates a home folder (and subfolders) for the user account the next time it is used for
logging in to a Mac OS X computer. The user can still navigate to the old home folder
and see its contents in the Finder.
You can prevent creation of a new home folder by renaming the old folder before the
user next logs in.
Setting a UNIX Shell for Active Directory User Accounts
On a computer that’s congured to use Directory Utility’s Active Directory connector,

by default when interacting with Mac OS X in Terminal.
