Hi
we have a windows 2008 r2 smb/cifs server it a share called UserFiles in this share are a bunch of subfolders particular to the user
\\nova01\UserFiles\Site\username
so I tried in a script
mount volume "smb://nova01/Userfiles/VAC/12345
and it mapped //nova01/Userfiles/
however if I sub in
tell application "Finder"
open location "smb://nova01/Userfiles/VAC/12345
end tell
it works , any way I can get that full path mapped to the sbub folder 12345 ?
Your profile says:
merrittr's Products
plorp 9000, Mac OS X (10.5.3)
Is this correct/
Which OS does your question relate to?
I don't think the exact subversion of OS X matters here: they all use mount_smbfs under the hood. So the command line would be the same.
Finder is unable to mount a subfolder of a resource - this is a real hassle and a big minus point for Corporate users. Therefore one needs to script this.
ok here is what fixed it after wating time with SH*TTY applescript, use
#!/bin/bash -x
user=`ls -la /dev/console | cut -d " " -f 4`
vers=`sw_vers -productVersion|cut -c 3-4`
if [ ! $vers >= 7 ]; then
mac_path=`/usr/bin/dscl localhost -read /Active\\ Directory/All\\ Domains/Users/" & userName & " SMBHome | awk '{print $2}'`
else
mac_path=`/usr/bin/dscl localhost -read /Active\\ Directory/STPAUL/All\\ Domains/Users/$user SMBHome | awk '{print $2}'`
fi
echo $user
echo $vers
if [ "$mac_path" == "" ]; then # outter if
mount volume mac_path
else
DIRECTORY="/Volumes/$user"
echo $DIRECTORY
if [ -d "$DIRECTORY" ]; then #inner if
mount_smbfs $mac_path $DIRECTORY
else
mkdir $DIRECTORY
mount_smbfs $mac_path $DIRECTORY
fi # inner if
