Our envirornment:
6500+ students, some of which are PC users, some of which are Mac users, some of which are both. Active Directory 2003, roaming profiles for all students using PCs; Windows home folders stored on a Windows 2000 cluster. One Macintosh XServe running 10.3.8 Server, OD master currently holding 450 + mac accounts (created by hand every semester), one Macintosh XServe stand-alone server housing Mac home folders.
We want to integrate with AD and I've been able to set up a "triangle" model as per the info on this site (with all users in AD, and group/computer control i.e. mcx on the OD master).
So far, everything works great!
Minor problem: the AD plug-in assigns the home folder to one location, no matter whether the user logs in from a PC or from a MAC.
We would like to have users logging into a PC directed to a Windows home folder on the Windows 2000 cluster, and when the same user logs into a Mac client, their home folder would be on the Mac Server. So that means two fields.
Is there any way of modifying the AD plug-in (via its plist for example?) so we can force the mac users to use another field for their home folder definitions?
It would also be good if we could do redirect the soft and hard quotas fields as well. I don't need a full Apple schema change, just adjustments for these two remaining issues.
We are in test mode with a test AD domain, so I can do things like modify the schema (need some directions), add Services for Unix, or other creative things.
Any suggestions would be great!
BTW, while ADMac is a great product, we're an educational education and the powers-that-be have indicated we have no money to purchase the product for the number of computers that we have. So, unfortunately, I'm relegated to manually fumbling my way through.
