Local Network Users

Thanks!

So there wouldn't be a downside of being unable to login. that is good.

Upsides? Central password administration, anything else of consequence?

what data gets synchronized other than their login credentials when you use local home directories?

i've tried mobile accounts. that was a horrible disaster. whenever a user went from iMac1 iMac2 the user would get asked about a hundred different sync errors and would pull their hair out

if you turn off the sync, I don't understant what you accomplish using mobile users?

I'm just trying to understand a bit more here.

Network users with local home directories vs Network users with Mobility accounts with Sync turned off

Why would you choose one over the other? Are there specific advantages?

Linc

I'd like to learn more about how you're leveraging the mobility accounts.

I'm wondering--- when you set them up as Network users with Mobility accounts without synching, does it work well as a way for you to make changes to their account on the server and then put that account onto a client machine by making a mobility account?

Do you find that faster, better, easier than using migration assistant to setup users on clients? Better than setting up accounts on an netboot drive and deploying that way?

When I last tried mobility accounts, preference synching was a mess. When you set it up, do you turn all synching off, or are there things that you find work well to sync?

nuts. ok. maybe someone else can weigh in on this then.
