macOS Server on High Sierra

[tg12]

Hi folks,

 

I'm not expecting anyone to have answers this but I'm desperate to find some sort of solution and hoped a discussion might lead to an epiphany here!

 

Basically, I'm currently in the process of testing out High Sierra with the eventual goal of upgrading our now old Mac network still operating on OS X Mavericks 10.9. Having solved the initial problem of Profile Manager not pushing out preferences (thanks to DNS issues!), I've now set off with the main task of looking at Open Directory itself.

 

All fine so far, and I've worked out how to get network home folders from a share, however the bizarre issue is that macOS Server will not create the home folder in the share when I create users! Which is a bit of a problem because no home folder = no library = chaos... Has anyone come across this so far and know any way around it? I know High Sierra is still new but I'm hoping there might be some idea from Sierra or something I can try!

 

Fingers crossed.

We tried to upgrade to Mac OX High Sierra on our server, it was so buggy (the server app) that we abandoned it and went to Sierra. I would advise you do the same. Sorry I know that isn't much help, but High Sierra is more hassle than its worth.

No, I am in agreement with you on this. I was mainly hoping for High Sierra so we got the most out of it in terms of support/plus match some new Macs we’ve bought that aren’t part of my network. But I think Sierra is going to be the better choice. Particularly now if the major issue I had with Profile Manager is sorted.
