I am using network home folders but that is done via applescript and .sh called by ldap after login, this is with the actual login. Does it matter that I have the AD plugin set to defaults for advanced options:
-Force local home directory on startup disk
-Use UNC path from Active Directory to derive network home location, Network protocol to be used “SMB”
-Default user shell /bin/bash

Would it help to remove the check on the UNC path setting?

Thanks!

I just was reminded that this problem has existed since we setup the labs, but we just thought it was due to AD problems occuring at the same time. We have also had network problems with both building that house the Mac labs and thus have never thought it was a “Mac” problem. Another note is that certain times the lab machines timeout before allowing a login, thus causing irritated users. Recently in a lab image setup and test, we noticed that as a faculty user (<1000 users) the login was quick, but as a student user (>10000) the login time was significant. ANY help on solving or reducing the login time for students would be greatly appreciated.
