SMB Home as default save location.

Hi guys!

Here's my setup:

OS X 10.3.5 Server [Open Directory Master]
Win2003 Server [DNS, DHCP, Active Directory]
OS X 10.3.5 Clients

Active Directory hosts the user accounts, holds the home directories (located on the Windows server).

Clients are bound to AD, directory access configured to allow sign-on to AD and OpenDirectory (via LDAPv3 plugin).

OS X Server is bound to AD, Workgroup Manager used to manage client preferences with AD users added to OD groups.

The problem:

Although the users get their SMB home directory mapped (it appears on the desktop and in Finder), the applications default to a /Documents located in their locally-generated folder (i.e. inside /Users)

What I'd like is for OS X to create its folder structure inside the SMB home directory (i.e. /Documents, /Music, /Library etc.) so that applications could default to opening and saving from these locations.

Authentication works a treat, WGM managed settings are all applied fine, in short this is my one remaining stumbling block. Can I achieve what I require?

Many thanks in advance, guys..... AFP548 has helped me out more times than I can count in the past, hoping you can assist me here!
