Network Share for macs

[nmillard]

Hi,

 

Is there a simple way of getting a shared area working for mac users in an AD environment?

In your MDM there should be a Login Items option, just add the Shared Area to the Network Mounts section. ie smb://servername/share

 

Alternatively you could use a script at login which is what we use coupled with a utility called mysids to make it look neater and add it to the Favourites section of Finder.

 

mkdir ~/Shared

mount -t smbfs //ufs-shared/shared ~/Shared

/usr/local/bin/mysides add Shared file:///Users/$USER/Shared

touch /Users/$loggedInUser/.sidebarshortcuts

FYI:

 

Some mac files do not work in a windows file share environment, such as Logic files. I've used a Synology box for this in the past as it's linux based and the file system plays nicer with it! (can't remember which file systems off top of my head)
