Mounting NAS Shares with Automator

This is probably going to be a bit difficult to describe, but here it is: Using Automator in El Capitan, I was mounting two of my share drives from my Network Server for each of my family members when they would log in: Multimedia Share (which contained the iTunes Folder) and the particular Share Drive with that family member's Name. I did this by selecting "Get Specified Servers" where I would specify the two different shares, and then "Connect To Servers". After upgrading to Sierra, the Automator Application is not working properly.


Part of the problem is that the Multimedia Share is now mounting automatically. It seems there must be something in Sierra that is forcing the share that has the iTunes folder to mount when logging in. So when I try to use the Automator to mount just the Share Drive with the family member's Name, the User / Password is rejected . . . probably because the Multimedia Share pulls the User / Password from Keychain and is already mounted.


I guess this could be solved a couple different ways. Perhaps if I knew what was forcing the Multimedia Share to mount, I could stop that from happening and then have Automator do them both at the same time as before. Or if there's a way to get a second share from the NAS drive mounted after the Multimedia Drive mounts. Any suggestions?

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
