Close SMB connections on log off..

[jhothersall]

Hi just wondering if anyone has a solution to this problem.

 

I'm running 10.9 server with AD integration (the triangle solution) we are finding that when a student logs off the mac there SMB connection isn't ejected. This means that a few connections are left on the server, but most importantly it causes problems for the next person to logon. The "fix" is to restart each time ... but ideally I'd like for this to work.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

We've had iMacs at where I would for about 8 years and even with help from an Apple Supplier who does full installations etc, there seems to be no fix for this. Though we are on Snow Leopard.

There must be a way?

I always thought that but our iMacs and server etc were originally a purchased solution, and despite years of trying to find a fix, noone has told it to me. The only solution I know of is to reboot the iMac.

 

As I said, might be different solutions to the problem on later versions of iOS. I don't know how it works but software solutions for iMac integration (Centrify for example) might not have the same problem, but then it depends on what you are using your iMacs for and how much you have already spent.

Would a logout hook to a bash script do it? The bash script would be something like

 

hdiutil unmount /Volumes/$USER

 

This is just spitballing on my part, I have no idea if it would work
