    Ok a bit more info…

    The users AD Profile has been added to two groups “SEC_allow_Mac_Access” & “DATA_DesignGrp_Modify” both of these groups have been added to OD Groups with similar names via the ‘Magic Triangle.’

    The 1st group: “SEC_allow_Mac_Access” is in the OD Group “MAC Access” allows the user to login to Macs & has some MCX settings in place.

    The 2nd group: “DATA_DesignGrp_Modify” is in the OD Group DesignGrp Data & has modify access to the folder smb://testmacdc/SHARED/Design with ‘SHARED’ being the sharepoint. The Groups folder is set to the Design folder & it has been set to mount @ login with users username & password via the OD group.

    But it will not auto-mount!!

    SSO works fine & user can access the folder once logged in.

    But, what I want is to be able have all users in the 1st group, & if they require further NW Access to be able to add their AD account to an AD group which is a member of an OD Group that mounts the sharepoint @ login, (in this case “SHARED”) & places the group folder, (“Design”), in the dock.

    I know this should be easy but I am probably looking @ it all backwards!!! 😆

    Right so, the domain is mycompany.com.

    The container ‘LBTH Computers’ is directly below this with three further containers within: Laptops, Desktops & Macs.

    It’s the Macs CN that I won’t to create in.

    So i guess the FQCN is something like \\mycompany.com\LBTH Computers\Macs.

    what’s the CN that you’re using?

    The CN that works is the defualt one, CN=Computers.

    Which is fine for the test rig, but when this goes live it needs to be in LBTH Computers\Macs, (\ is used to illustrate folder location).

    Any ideas how I can create them in LBTH Computers\Macs via the AD Plugin?

    You don’t have rights to that then.

    I have full admin rights to the AD Domain. So I should have rights.

    The AD Plugin just advises that it cannot find the container.

    The AD plugin shouldn’t have any issues with putting accounts way deep into other places.

    So for CN= should I just put in the container name? i.e. Macs & not something like CN=Test Computers/Macs?
