Network Home Folder Redirection with Profile Manager?
Mac mini, OS X Server
Step1: First you have to create the plist file like you would like it.
For instance, I use TextWrangler to create my plist with the following settings.
Step two:
then you have to convert it to XML in terminal using..
/usr/bin/plutil -convert xml1 /path/to/plistfile
You will not see any feedback if the file has converted properly.
Step three:
then you have to upload the converted plist to your profile server.
No problem!
There seems to be everlasting issues with Apple and SMB. Wether is safe save applications or home folders, they can't seem to get it right. SMB3 on 4.0.3 is no better either... I wonder what it is that keeps making the implementation so poor.
Alan,
One more. Maybe you had this also. I have one group that redirecting seems to be working for and a second that it is not working for. The exact same file was used to create the settings. Both setting sets are pushed out. All users are logging into their homes via AFP but one group still shows no redirect.
