OS X El Capitan & Default User Template

[AngryITGuy]

I updated the school iMac Server to OS X El Capitan and I am looking to do the same with the iMacs.

 

I am currently testing out the new OS X and I am hoping to enable the default profile. I've found a couple of guides online and after following them I have managed to setup a default user template. The default template works perfectly for any local user. However as soon as I bind the iMac to AD and OD and login with a network account the user doesn't get a profile using the default template.

 

After some messing about I found that if I enable the tick box labelled 'Force local home directory on startup disk' in Directory Utility the network user gets a profile based on the default template when logging in. However doing this also maps a network share on the iMac that is the root folder of all user profiles. All our profiles are kept in \\servername\users$ we have folders for teaching and support staff and the students.

 

By enabling the tick box in Directory Utility the \\servername\users$ folder is also mapped on the test iMac.

 

Not sure why this is happening as there are no configuration profiles installed on the iMac yet from profile manager.

 

Anyone able to shed some light on what could be happening here and if there is any other way that I can force the default template on network users without mapping that share?
