OSX Homes on Windows Server

[jwillis44]

working in the golden triangle, Users are able to auth to ad and are able to use single sign on but wgm doesn’t see the attribute for their home folder location. I have set the ad profile path as well as mapped a windows drive to their profile path, I’m using document redirection. Is there another place that I need to specify where the home folder location is so that the osx clients will know where to map home folder?

thanks all!

Easy fix for this, I didn’t have the check box next to use unc path for ad home directory when binding to ad.

This could also be the protocol set in advanced settings in directory utility when you bound to AD. Ensure that it is set to use CIFS/SMB not AFP or the home folder will not mount. I made this mistake last week accidentally (slight oversight, i’ve been doing this for years) and Deploystudio was binding my clients, but I had forgot to change the protocol in the workflow and they all bound expecting AFP home folders.
