How to setup user accounts to retrieve and save user data on log on /log off?
Hi
It's probably a n00b question, but I can't figure out how to set up the user accounts to automatically retrieve and save user generated data on client Macs when they log on and off. Is this at all possible?
I'm helping out a friend at a private elementary school where they have the following setup:
1x Mac Mini running OS X Server on 10.8.5 with 10 adult accounts and about 35 pupil accounts.
7x MacBook Pros for teachers (mobile for classroom/home)
6x iMacs for teachers (stations at teacher's lounge)
7x MacBook Pros for pupils to borrow at certain classes.
It's all connected via Apple Airports using a bridged network as well as the stationary machines are cabled.
Obviously they want the users to be able to log on and off on all machines and be able to do their work as usual and then when logging off, the data should be sent back to the server so that if they log on to another machine later, the same data is downloaded to this machine. Pretty standard stuff, right?
What happens now is that files are only stored locally on each client machine, nothing is sent to the server and vice versa. I've removed every local accounts and force them to log in using their credentials stored on the server and of course connected it using the options in Users and Accounts login on each mac.
I've tried googling, but can't really find anything that helps.
