Automator, AD, and moving folders.
I want Automator to parse through a folder full of student folders for the district I work at. It will take the name of the folder (which is the student's login name), ask Active Directory where that student's folder should be and if not on that server, it will mount the correct server and move the contents of the folder to the other server. Then move on to the next folder
This would be done in the summer after updating the Active Directory for the next school year. The idea being that it will copy the student's folder to the server at the next building they are at (They go from a kindergarten to a primary, to an intermediate, and end their sentence with us at a jr high). Currently we delete everyone's folder, but I thought it'd be nice to let them keep the same files their entire stay and with moving to full network home folders in the next couple years, it will copy their library and preferences as well.
Just wondering if this is in the scope of automator or should I look to something else?
Thanks
