Is anyone else having problems w/ Casper 7.1 and having the AD network home folder show up in the dock? We have AD accounts and the machines are managed by Workgroup Manager. Other WGM settings apply fine, but not the network home folder.

We are contacting JAMF support, but I wanted to see if anybody else had this issue. We are working around it by dropping the jamf binary on the machines to version 6.

    Matt,

    Are you actually utilizing the MCX functionality in the JSS?

    I've been in contact with JAMF about this since we had this same issue. The
    home doesn't show up on the dock because of how the jamf binary is dealing
    with those settings, it kind of just blows away some data. =)

    I ask if you are using the MCX because if you are not then just go into
    management framework settings and turn them off in the JSS for user and
    computer managed preferences.

    I am not sure of the status of this particular issue at this point, but I
    was sure it was being worked on.

    Yeah, we were just testing it out. However, apparently even if there are no settings for computer, it still interferes with the WGM settings. So we disabled it for now.

    Hopefully they will fix this bug.
