Preventing PHD share point from mounting on the Desktop

[Bonthron]

I have my AD authentication and Leopard server managed and PHD hosted system working the way I want, except for one small thing… the share point from the Leopard server that is hosting the PHDs is mounting on the Desktop. This didn’t happen with my previous OD on Tiger system. This will confuse my users… especially the old ones.

Is there a way to prevent this PHD share point from mounting on the Desktop but still allow the ‘regular’ file sharing volumes to mount?

I know I read something somewhere in the last month and a half about this, but I can’t find it now.

Thanks.

No, it doesn’t appear on the Dock. That would be tolerable but still not great – it’ll confuse my staff.

Tried a few more things today with no success.

If you deploy managed preferences to your clients via Workgroup Manager, simply select the ‘Finder’ preferences, set the Manage option to ‘Always’ and untick the box to show Connected Servers on the user desktop. (You can also disable showing Hard Disks and Removable media as well if you want…)
