I need some assistance setting up the Configuration Profile to synch a users Home Directory to their Network Home Directory. We have 100 user accounts that have home directories set up on a 9TB SAN. The SAN is running Windows Storage Server 2008 running Extremez-IP. The client machines in this case are all new 27-inch iMacs running 10.8.3. The home directory for each account is assigned via it's Active Directory account information. I've set up a Configuration Profile as follows:
Under General: User Level Mobility Create mobile account when user logs in to network Create home using: network home and default sync settings Home folder location: I've tried both "on startup volume" and putting in the network path at the "on path" option. When I put in the network path at the "on path" option, it created a folder on the root of the hard drive labeled "serverHomes~user".
Under General: User Level Mobility Rules Home Sync : Sync At Login, At logout, and In background
Under General: User Level Mobility Rules Home Sync : Sync Folders : ~/Desktop and ~/Documents
Under General: User Level Mobility Rules Options : Sync in the background Every 15 minutes.
I'm not sure I have the folder names correct. I'm familiar with the wildcard names in Windows (i.e. %username%) but not quite as familiar in OSX.
I cannot get the sync to occur at all. My predecessor has attempted to do this, on the Snow Leopard machines that used to be in this computer lab, using MCX. He was only ever able to get one single user account to sync. I can't even get that to happen, regardless of the settings I choose.
Any help would be greatly apprciated.
