Symbolic Link Login Script

[JonDaviesBourne]

Hi,

 

I'm currently working on integrating our Mac network with our new Windows domain. I'll be using Profile Manager for policy management on them, with AD providing authentication.

 

My question is, is there a way to get a shell script to run at login to symbolic link all of that user's folders to a hidden network mount? My reasoning for this is, the Windows side has been designed without users having network homes, just using Folder Redirection. This means that I can't check the nice easy "make it use network homes" box in Profile Manager. I'm trying it out in Automator to start with, but I keep hitting permission errors when removing the existing local Documents/Downloads etc. Would the login script run as root rather than in that user's context?

 

Kind regards,

 

Jon
