Not working for me.
Hi Troy,
Sorry to hear that.
Under what circumstances is this not working?
Hi there,
Had the same issue in 10.6 and 10.7 in our Enterprise environment.
Called apple support about it, but as expected to no avail.
In the end I found the solution, posted it on the Apple Support Communities.
Apple called me back, asking me if the issue was resolved and asked for the solution :).
I’ve seen today on my 10.7.3 update that there is supposed to be a fix in the update for AD home folders. I’ll heck it out when I get in the office tomorrow.
Link to the thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16073803#16073803
In the thread I also talk about the annoying question mark that can’t be removed from the dock when the AD home folder mount fails.
I suppose all I did with text editors can be mad easier with “defaults” commands, but haven’t had the time to do this yet.
It’s a little rant-y, but I was quite annoyed at the time with Apple Support.
