Greetings

Has anyone else noticed the difference with how Sierra (vs El Cap) mounts an N drive for an AD bound Mac?

With El cap it is just fully mounted when you log on. With Sierra it does not appear to be and does not connect until you click the globe in the dock – until then it does not show up in /Volumes

An issue if you are scripting and expect the share to be in /Volumes (or what an alias on the desktop)

Suggestions?
