AD authentication o

[merdrum21]

I’m looking for a way to provide AD authentication but use a specific local home folder. Every user who logs into the machine will get a local home folder named “student”
I remember back in the day this could be done using static mapping. Is there such a way to do this in leopard client?

thanks

I have finally had time to give this a try but I am still running into problems.

I type dsconfigad -staticmap NFSHomeDirectory /Users/student -lu admin -lp my password appears to work says “settings have changed”
when I login as “testuser” it produces a new Home Folder though

when I use dscl /Active Directory/Users and do a read testuser

It gives me two readings for NFSHomeDirectory one is /Users/testuser and the other at the bottom is /Users/student

How do I get rid of the /Users/testuser and have it only use the NFSHomeDirectory /Users/student if that is indeed the problem.

This is leopard 10.5.4
