Not using MCX, using NetworkShares script from the Resource Kit.

Craig E

I use OD instead of Casper for MCX, but if I were to lose or ditch OD and go with Casper this is how I would add the network shares (and probably most MCX files that is).

1) Load Work Group Manager on a box

2) Mount all the shares manually from the box with WGM on it

3) Pick my level of management, user/group/computer and go into log in items. Then select the network share and add it as a log in item.

4) export mcx file via command line and use Casper to import it to client machines

I suppose you may be able to use Composer in this case as well. This will show you what plist files are modified/created to add the network shares to the login items. If Kerberos is all good, then when a user logs in their credentials should be passed and the mounts automatically mounted at log in.

This is because Casper just uses the local node for MCX and puts the framework behind it. Otherwise, these features are already built into OS X. Which is why Casper is a good thing. It doesn't use any third party magic and just takes what Apple builds and makes it easier/better for us to use.

I'm doing both AFP and SMB but only with Kerberized systems. What you show
