MCX Settings
We have successfully integrated an OD Master with an existing AD network. We created a group on the OD Server called "TEST" and added three initial user accounts from the AD domain to said group. Set some MCX preferences like adjusting dock size and position and removing some applications from dock and adding others to it.
Initial impressions were good- settings seemed to be taking pretty well and could be changed as needed. Logging out and in again applied the new settings. Perfect.
Adding users to the group sees different and very inconsistent results however- and too many to make this a viable solution at this time without a fix. What happens is that new users added to the group do not pick up all the settings; this is even after a reboot or log out/back in to client. They "get" things like applications added to the dock as they should, but at least one account has dashboard added to his dock (and that isn't defined in preferences in WGM) and one System Preferences- again not defined as being part of the dock. I can't get rid of these items.
Why is this? Is there anything I can do to make the dock totally consistent- such as set one up on one mac and copy the dock PLIST file to the server and have that apply and change as needed?
I have made sure that I am not merging docks with the user's existing one...so I have run out of ideas on this.
Thanks.
