Hey all,
So I have been sorting out network home issues here and hit a interesting snag. Prior to my coming on, the users here were getting their network homes (stored on a large cluster) from the GPO, meaning the Macs where not getting a user home at all.
I decided to run a test where our AD guy pointed my profile to where my user home was to be stored. But my folder never mounted even though from what I can tell compared to what I have done elsewhere, everything in my profile was right.
Could the fact the home resides on a cluster be the issue?

Not sure if I’m getting the wrong end of the stick here, but are you talking about MS DFS when you say cluster?
OSX doesn’t natively support DFS, although I think ADmitmac (from Thursby ) might do.
However if your home is a standard SMB share and configured correctly in the Profile tab of your AD account’s properties, then you should be able to have it auto mount or use it as a network home using the built in apple AD plug-in (you can configure it to do either). However you’ll probably have to change the share protocol to SMB if you haven’t done this already; As I think it defaults to taking the profile path and trying to mount an AFP share from it.
