ad plugin managed preferences

Hi List, I'm just realizing that the AD plug-in, Mac OS 10.5 & 10.6, creates
managed preferences for each AD user. These are stored in /Library/Managed
Preferences. There is a folder for the user's short name there and four
.plist files: com.apple.dock.plist com.apple.MCX.plist complete.plist loginwindow.plist

These seem to be related to the Advanced Options in the AD plug-in Create mobile account at login Force local home directory on startup disk Use UNC path from Active Directory to derive network home location Default user shell

This site has also been using the JSS to manage preferences and they have
been having mixed results. Do the AD MCX interfere with JSS MCX? Is there a
recommended way to implement JSS MCX for AD users?

Thanks,
