I just started a new internship, and most of my job entails imaging and deploying Macs using Netinstall (they’re transitioning from OS 9 to X). I’m currently updating the image, and am trying to customize the default user template. This of course works fine for local users, but since all of the users are mobile accounts that sync to the server, it’s proving to be difficult. I’m new to OS X server, since I’ve always just used radmind or a firewire drive in previous jobs, and I’m having trouble finding out how to customize the mobile user template. Using the server utilities, we can set up the dock and other typical system preferences, but for things like configuring Neo Office or setting up user Fonts, there aren’t any options. What I’d like to be able to do is just modify a user template, just like one would with a local user, but it doesn’t seem to be that simple and no one here has any answers for me. I’ve been scouring the web, but haven’t found anything useful yet (but I did find this site, which answered a lot of my other questions). If anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.
Sorry, I should have done a little more explanation in my first post. Our server has two partitions, one with the OS on it, and a data partition with the images, some custom packages, and other things like that. I figured that the /System/Library/User Template folder on the main partition was the one being used for mobile account creation, but to be sure I had a server guy email a copy to me so I could look at it. When I looked into it further, there are quite a few things included in folder that aren’t being copied across when I log a new user into a computer for the first time. So, I’m really quite stumped, and no one here has any ideas for me.
