[p]This worked for me on a 10.6 client. Do I still need the MCX setting Tom H talked about?[/p][/QUOTE]

I think there are 2 methods being described here both ‘fix’ the lack of syncing with augmented user home folders.

1.
gneagle’s method. Run…
/System/Library/CoreServices/ManagedClient.app/Contents/Resources/createmobileaccount -n username -u afp://server.domain.edu/Users/username
…on the client to generate the required settings to make the sync work. This can be managed via a login script pushed out to a computer group via MCX on the server. It requires a bit of setup on the clients to allow the login script to be managed on the server.

2.
Tom H’s method…
Manage an extra key for the com.apple.MCX record for the managed group…
Synchronisation URL / string / afp://server.domain.com/Users/%@

djfake, they both solve the same issue, you only need one. I’d suggest that 2 is most convenient to manage since it requires no client changes. It does require all members of the group to be using the same AFP home folder location.
