ad plugin no homeDirectory

[johnemac]

Trying to get home directories to mount for my Mac AD users. I keep getting a local home folder. To troubleshoot I’m using dscl to read the AD user. There is no homeDirectory attribute there. Everything else seems to be working, following the AFP548 AD-OD article and everything checks out until I get to actually mounting the home directory.

Any suggestions on getting the homeDirectory attribute to the AD plug-in?

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply.

[list]Only “Use UNC path from Active Directory to derive network home location.” is checked.
I have tried AFP and USB.
The path is correct and works when tested from a Windows machine. I also get SSO when logged in as an AD user on a Mac and I connect to the share where the home directories are.
I went over my setup with a fine tooth comb with John Christophersen, who is an Apple Trainer. He generously set up a system to mirror the one I was trying to get work. Everything in the setup was the same. The only difference I could put my finger on was that when he read his AD user with dscl there was a homeDirectory attribute properly pointing to his home on Mac OS Server. My read did not have that attribute. [/list]
