    I am running server 10.2.8 with 10.3 clients. When my user logs in they can connect to the home directory over the network fine but I want to keep users from working off the file storage server and on the client. When there session is finished then they can move there work back to the storage drive. Suggestions?

    Mobile Users is a new feature of 10.3. It basically synchronizes user, workgroup, and computer records when the mobile client connects to the network. It is specifically LACKING (Apple-supported) synchronizing between local home directory and network home directory. When a mobile user logs in, a brand new local home directory will be created for them (unless one already exists, which might cause problems!) If all your users use the EXACT SAME computer each time, I suggest you explore moving your server to 10.3, making all your users mobile users, and implementing a manual synchronization upon login and logout. I’d be awful nervous about the synchronization falling apart at a crucial moment Confused
