Hello,
We are on 10.4.3. server and client.
We are just pulling our hair out, when trying to get network home folders to work with users that log into their Macs using their Active Directory account.
They have the path to their home in their AD profile.
Now comes the part, were AFP seems to have a bug.
If a user belongs to more then 12 groups in AD ( Member of … ) he gets the annoying message that the home folder is located on a afp or smb volume that he can’t be logged in at this time.
Remove any group and it works like a charm if you are below 12 group memberships.
As 12 is not exactly a natural border ( like 8, 16, 32, 64… ) we simply don’t know what is wrong with AFP.
If you do the same with the settings in Directory Services changed to SMB, everythings works, no mater how many groups you are a member of.
If you have a Profile Path set ( in AD: Profile -> User Profile ) you will not get far either, as this will result in the same message.
The problem to nail down the problem, because the logs are not really helping ( or am I locking in the wrong places ? )

Anybody who has the same problem ?

Is there a complete list of causes for the homeshare on afp / smb share ” bug ?
