[MacTUG] Home folder redirection

[Dani Roloson]

I've got a 10.7.4 client and a 10.7.4 server (both clean installs) and a 2003 SP2 AD domain.
(The redirection of home folders works fine with 10.6.8 clients and 10.6.8 servers with the above AD domain.)
 
Followed these rules:
* Use Server app (as much as possible).
* Bind to AD first; then create OD master.
 
The only service I turned on was Profile Manager.
 
Workgroup Manager seems to still be the only way to create
New Augmented User Records
 
We used to add these fields to the augmentation
 
dsAttrTypeNative:apple-user-homeurl    '<home_dir><url>smb://FQDNofSMBserver/cifs.homedir</url><path>MacProfile</path> </home_dir>'
 
dsAttrTypeNative:homeDirectory          /Network/Servers/FQDNofSMBserver/cifs.homedir/MacProfile
 
but they don't appear and the values show up in HomeDirectory and NFSHomeDirectory respectively
so I now set up those fields instead i.e.
 
HomeDirectory     '<home_dir><url>smb://FQDNofSMBserver/cifs.homedir</url><path>MacProfile</path> </home_dir>'
 
NFSHomeDirectory  /Network/Servers/FQDNofSMBserver/cifs.homedir/MacProfile
 
In Directory Utility -> Active Directory -> Advanced Options -> User Experience
both Force local home directory on startup disk
and Use UNC path from Active Directory to derive network home location
are unchecked.
 
With 10.6, we had to establish a trust with AD after each reboot using a LaunchDaemon
that would wait until the loginwindow was running, enable UNC path, lookup a known AD user,
and disable UNC path.  That doesn't seem to help either.
 
I'm getting a local home directory on startup disk
and nothing under /Network/Servers. 8-(
