  1. Concerning the mounting of AD student shares, I use a script that puts an alias of the user's folder, which is inside the share, on the desktop. Our student shares are divided alphabetically, so a path for a student whose username starts with "h" would be /volumes/studenth/hfacebookuser Note that AD mounts the actual server so one doesn't have to use its actual name. Here is the script :- #!/bin/sh me=$(logname) x=$(echo $me | cut -c1) /bin/ln -s /volumes/STUDENT$x/$me /Users/$me/Desktop/$me"'s H Drive"
  2. If you use a customized user template (in the english.lproj), then all new users, irrespective of what type, will get that set of home folders the first time they log on. We use that method with our students who logon via AD with the networked account option. Make sure you repair permissions after changing the home folders in the english.lproj though.
  3. Make sure you are using different computer names for the Mac and PC binds.
  4. Open the auto_master file in the /etc folder. Hash out the /Network/Servers line so it looks like :- # /Network/Servers -fstab This will stop the "can't login at this time" problem
  5. From the Go menu select "Go to Folder" Drag the mounted Mac icon into the dialog box and then add /etc to the path. Click Go.
  6. Make sure that Outlook's auto-discovery URL is visible to the outside world. If it is, then Outlook will self-configure from the user's email address.
  7. Try this :- Open the etc folder (hidden, so use "Go to Folder" and then /etc) Edit the auto_master file Put a # in front of the /Network/Servers -fstab line so it looks like this :- # /Network/Servers -fstab This stops the Mac from remembering the path to a previous user's H drive which causes this error.
