Any ADmitMac 2.0 Users?

I posted this in the general forum but then I figured here might have been a better place given the AD topic…

What I didn’t want to deal with explaining below was the feature that ADmitMac 2.0 give people (the ability to use Workgroup Manager to save (some/most) group and machine control settings directly into the AD Domain WITHOUT the need for schema changes (pretty cool) it simply needs someone who has write priv. to /SysVol where it creates a non-obtrusive top level dir called admitmac and then it adds the settings data below that.

Anyway since where I work it’s apx 10,000 WinTel to 500 OS X, piggy-backing on the existing MASSIVE AD infrastructure was WAY easier (and cheaper).

The only issue I have is as follows.

Imagine:

mactech AD group (5 or so users)

On an ADmitMac machine launch Apple’s Workgroup Manager and press “ctl-d’ and it will bring up the standard configuration window (long pause while it loads TONS of AD users) finally I can make changes to SOME user settings (preferences anyway – they tell you that normal AD settings will NOT be saved back to AD and you should still use normal AD management tools to maintain the actual AD stuff) but you can still take advantage of things like set preferences (OS X prefs) for users, groups, computers and even create custom groups of computers.

So back to what I was saying…

Imagine a group called mactech (5 or so users)
Imagine setting that groups ‘group folder’ to smb://host/folder/

Now roll over to another ADmitMac running machine and login.

Network Home Mounts – No Problem!
Group Folder Mounts and Appears on the desktop as mactech – No Problem!

Here comes the problem…

While the 1st member of mactech is still logged in do a fast user switch to the login window and login as another member of the mactech group.

Network Home Mounts – No Problem!
Group Folder Mounts and Appears on the desktop (here comes the problem!) as mactech-1 – BIG Problem!

It seems that OS X and/or ADmitMac is mounting all non-home-directories in /Volumes

Since the 1st group member of mactech already mounted the group share to /Volumes (and they were still logged in) when the 2nd member did the ‘fast user switch’ it was forced to mount HIS mactech group folder as ‘mactech-1’ and the 3rd member if he FUS in to the system would be ‘mactech-2’ and so on and so on…

I know what I need to do…

I need some way to edit the xml file that gets stored in AD’s /sysvol from Apples Workgroup Manager (that tells people in the mactech group to mount the share) to give it a custom mount point of something like ~/Volumes/mactech

So in short – too late….

Does anyone here have either ADmitMac experience and/or Workgroup Manager experience enough to tell me if it’s possible (to have the group folder mount to a custom mount point) and if so how I can do it?
