We're having a lot of permissions issues on our Windows server that hosts our network home folders. This is causing many issues with mounting the network homes through the AD plugin on our Macs. Also, because of the folder structure we use on our Windows server, an annoying folder called "user" gets mounted on the desktop instead of the actual network home. I don't exactly know if that makes sense but at this point I just want to turn off the "Use UNC path from AD to derive network home location" option in the AD plugin and make a policy that will mount the user's network home upon login. I know it's weird but the path to our user's network home folder is smb://facstaff/user/users/$shareuser. Here's one of the scripts I tried:
#!/bin/sh
shareuser="$3"
server="facstaff"
mkdir /Volumes/$shareuser
jamf mount -server $server -share user/users/$shareuser -type smb -username $shareuser -password
Obviously, I'm still pretty new to scripting. This script seems so close to working! I think the problem is that the jamf mount command tries to mount the drive at /Volumes/user/users/$shareuser. How can I get it to mount the drive at /Volumes/$shareuser? I've also tried using the mount_smbfs command but have had even more issues with that.
Hopefully this isn't too confusing. I just need a script that will mount smb://facstaff/user/users/$shareuser upon login. Any ideas?
