Dockutil - smb URL issues

Hello

One of my clients appears to be having issues with the server shares i have created using Dockutil. Over the last few weeks a large number of staff are complaining that the shortcuts now ask them to authenticate, even though they have saved their credentials in keychain.

Even once the share is mapped if you click on the shortcut again it prompts for authentication but does not allow the shared drive to be mapped as it is already.

I've tried clearing the shortcuts and re-deploying. This is also happening on multiple OS versions.

there were some posts on the MacAdmins Slack about this issue, it's related to the security update that came with 10.14.2 and made available for High Sierra (and I think Sierra, too?) The only workaround given was to go to the Connect to Server window in Finder to connect there, any shortcut, like the dock, won't work.

Hopefully this will be resolved in 10.14.3 (or another security update).

@jthurwood wadda ya know? security updates for HS, Sierra, and 10.14.3 just released that address the SMB issue.
