Login script to map SMB home drives to desktop on Yosemite

[alfatec]

Hi,

Does anybody have an example of a good login script that I can use to map a users SMB home drive and shared drive to the Yosemite desktop

and any instructions on where to place it.

Had enough of Yosemite profile manager and home folders trying to get them to appear.

OK Finally managed to crack getting the home folder to appear on the desktop by running a file in the app manger.

[win]

Which file did you use? Was it a login script or third party app?

You need to open script editor,

 

Put the following code in, (Amend to your own details)

 

tell application "System Events"

tell current user

set fn to full name

try

mount volume "smb://share.yourdomain/yourfolder/yoursubfolder/" & fn

end try

end tell

end tell

 

Export the script as an application and place in the /USR/BIN folder.

 

Now in Profile manager go to Login Items for users and under Items put the path to the login app. e.g.

 

This will now map the home drive onto the desktop.

[win]

Thanks for the instructions @alfatec, been battling for a while and will certainly give that a go!
