First up: thanks very much for replying.

Before I continue, I didn’t point out this is for a student lab, so the students never login to the same Mac twice.

I’ve tried your suggestion – which places a link to the network share on the desktop rather than via the home icon on the sidebar. The problem with this is that our students are accostomed to saving their files in the home folder icon in the sidebar (which is their network home directory), not on the HOME$ share on the desktop that results in your suggestion.

So – I think what we need do is use a login hook that will copy the contents of English.lproj into the users (Windows provided) home dir at login. The script will obvioulsy check that the files aren’t there first, and the users will still get the appropriate home icon in their sidebar.

Thanks again – still looking for a better solution if one exists!!

Kraaft – thanks so much for your response. Tell me, does this need to be done on the OS X servers as well, or only the clients?

I will let you know the outcome when I push your command out to the OS X clients via ARD.

Many, many thanks again.

We have [i]exactly [/i]the same issue, and have been hanging out for 10.4.10 to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, it did not.

Has anyone had any successes finding a solution?
