Running dscl seems to show that the mac client can read the properties from AD correctly and the path seems OK.

Which AD attribute is the mac using to derive network home location, the dsAttrTypeNative:homeDirectory? That has the right UNC path listed.

Under just plain “HomeDirectory” I see an SMB url but instead of \\server\share\user it uses the FQDN for the server (\\server.domain.forest\share\user)…which actually brings up a password prompt when I try to browse to it instead of just logging me on.

Under directory utility->services->advanced options->user experience I have:

Create mobile account at login
Require confirmation before creating a mobile account
Use UNC path from Active Directory to derive network home location
Network protocol to be used: SMB
Default user shell: /bin/bash

I’m sure this is simple, but it’s been a frustrating couple of days trying to figure out what is going on…

Thanks.
