for your drop box/hand in work issue.. try looking at this Homeowrk Hand In | nicktech.org lovely little applescript application that you can tweak to talk to your server share might help?!

i haven't yet worked out to add things like this to the docks, but, you could always add the shared folder as a desktop mounted folder. WGM>select user group/preferences/login/items/'always' manage/add share points if you connect to the shared folder on your admin mac and mount the share on your desktop you can drag this point into the 'item' panel. make sure you also select the afp mount point you've added and tick 'mount share point with user's name and password' hope this helps a little

I wouldn't mind finding out myself. Currently I run the gauntlet of manually deleting the HomeFolders off my RAID, which is very dull indeed. (after a full Retrospect backup obviously). It would be so much easier if we could get rid of all the student folders but we have to keep students who re-enroll for a further year. I've helped things a bit by creating the shortname of each user to include their WGM UID at the start, whilst keeping the long Studio ID card number as their login name. This does help with the searching of folders but still not great. Would be good to know if there's a quicker way.
