Our school district has a 50/50 environment where we are using AD/OD intergration on our apple laptops. Currently, all of our staff have their home directories stored a W2K3 server and everything is working fine. They mount their home directories, sync and can access them if they happen to get on an XP machine.
The task I want to do is to utilize the terrabytes of storage that we have on our Xserves by moving the staff’s directories to the xserves. I was hoping it was as easy as setting up the shares and changing the path in AD, but that doesnt seem to be working because I just get a ? in the dock for their network home folder. In OD, I can see where it has their homefolder as SMB://xservename/share , which I think is what is causing the problem.
I think the solution is pretty easy, I have seen where I could possibly in Directory Access change the “Network Protocol to be used:” to AFP, tried it but it didn’t work. I know I am just missing something but the even bigger problem is the fact that I want to leave the students home folders on the W2K3 machines, so on some computers ie labs and media centers, students (W2K3 shares) and teachers (XServe shares) will be both logging in. Is this even possible?
