I’d give you all the details but it’s a long story…
Here is what I’m trying to do and was wondering if any Workgroup Manager experts could help.
1 – Select the ‘mygroup’ group
2 – Click on ‘group directory’ and set it to the smb://server/group-folder address.
3 – Click on ‘Preferences’ (still in group-mode) and select login items
4 – Click on ‘mount group folder at login’This all works fine until you introduce FUS (fast user switching) into the mix.
While the first member of the group is just fine and gets ‘group-folder’ mounted to their desktop once the second user fast-user-switches in he/she gets ‘group-folder-1’ on the desktop and then if a 3rd group member FUS in they get ‘group-folder-2’ etc etc etc.
What I’d love to do is something like this:
Be able to instruct WGM that ‘smb://server/group-folder’ is the location of the groups folder but tell the clients to mount it in ‘~/Volumes/group-folder’
This way when each user does fast user switch the mount is places someplace inside their home (notice the ~/Volumes in that paragraph above) and everyone can have ‘group-folder’ show up on their desktop.
Does this make sense?
More importantly can anyone help??

P.S. For reasons too long winded to get into the info has to come from the xml files containing the settings that WGM sends off to the client machines – too many different groups and too many machines to do it any other way.
P.S.S. I know how to work in the inspector and have done some playing with the xml to see if I could make it work but nothing I tried has so far… Anyway if you know of a way to do it via the inspector don’t be afraid to chime in – I’m not afraid to give it a shot. (non-production environment so I can play).
