Ah, that sounds good. I’ve used the Details section to fix some dock icon issues I’ve had, but wasn’t sure about adding the plist stuff from scratch. Thanks.

How exactly do I do this through WGM? I’m fairly new to servers…
Thanks.

Just a clarification on the Guest access after some other tests this afternoon. When I turn guest access off on the AFP server, it pops up a name/PW dialog box when I click the share point icon in the dock. But, no one’s information works (returns a not valid error or something–can’t exatly recall). However, if I manually connect to the shared folder on the server (don’t think I even need to enter credentials for this), I can then use the dock icon (that didn’t work 5 seconds before) to connect normally with full read/write permissions. I’m using Kerberos-only authorization and no SSL (was having some trouble getting that to allow signons at all previously and it’s not really needed for us so didn’t feel like trouble shooting that, yet). I have a Kerberos ticket for the afp server as soon as I log in and it doesn’t appear to change even after I manually connect to the share point, so I’m assuming my DNS and authorization is working fine, but something specifically with the automounting is having issues…

Not exactly sure about on the desktop, but if they just need easy access to it, you can add it to the “Documents and Folders” section of the dock preferences for either users or groups in WGM. Keeps the desktop that much cleaner, too, unless you have a specific need to make it show up there.

EDIT: I’m pretty sure you can set up a sub-folder inside the share point as the target this way (I had just done some of this today, but thinking about it more, it may have just been the share point itself in each case…).
