I currently have a policy configured that when a machine is shutting down it removes a standard user profile that we use in our lab and installs a dmg of that profile from the server to /Users. This has worked well up to now. I would rather keep a dmg of this profile locally though and then when shutting down it just removes the profile that was being used, mounts the dmg, and then copies the contents as the new profile for the user.
Basically such a system allows for me not having to use a product called Deep Freeze which gets in my way for doing any maintenance in the background on the systems during working hours. It also easily allows for making tweaks to certain settings easily that can be rolled out in a lab setting. Like I said my current config has worked well up to now and I need to avoid pulling down that dmg profile on every restart.
Hopefully that's clear. I've tried bringing the dmg locally and use cp to copy the structure out but it seems to choke on acls. Someone suggested rsync but I had trouble there too. It's possible I'm just using the wrong syntax so any assistance would be appreciated.
