No problem… Glad to have helped

What if you wanted to tweak the home directory template and the home directories are not on a OSX server (well an OSX server for WGM but that’s it). Where is this stored? I thought it may be on the client but adding items there doesn’t seem to work neither does tweaking the OSX server user template. Does it just know what folders to create on login and there is no user template?

Also have to comment on some of your other comments.

Just because they have the title “Apple Engineer” don’t think these guys are high up support for Apple. I have met many that should not have that title, many haven’t even past the ACTC test yet. Or are not even certified (not that this matters but it helps)

These boards are not your one stop spot for finding all your solutions. I’m sure all your questions and others could be answered but do you think everyone has to time to explain everything in detail. Its very hard to try and talk someone through fixing a server problem when you know nothing about the environment, nothing about the persons skill set, nothing about the setup, etc.

Couldn’t resit

“Boast all you want to about your production OSXS installation. How large is it? Are there more than 200 connected clients? Do you have fiber backbones between switches? What’s your WAN topology between remote locations? Are your apps, websites, and email servers mission critical that can’t be down for more than a few minutes at the most? What is your redeployment window if you have to get a replacment Xserve online? ”

I have a number of clients with way over 200 connected clients. Of course most have fiber backbones between switches. A couple large school districts with this setup (these are not mission critical, but they are never down). I even have one that has 27 Xserves managing 41 schools thought the district, tons of windows and mac clients. Many cooperate clients with mission critical servers. Bottom line is your servers (any servers, MS, Linux, BSD, etc) are as good as the administrator running them.

All I know is when a new virus or security leak comes out and the MS servers are down, mine are still running.

As for your particualr issue this seems to be an issue with Filemaker, not OSX.

Disable them in the smb.conf file

take out this line or slap an number sign in front of it.

# logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U

Sweet…

It would be nice to see another one with AD as well. I know a lot of changes have been made in 10.3 with regards to Active Directory integration. Iím sure this will change your 10.2 articles on AD integration.

Keep up the good work.
