166 Chapter 9 Managing Preferences
Providing Access to a User’s Network Home Directory
This setting is used primarily for mobile accounts. When a user logs in while connected
to the network, the share point with the user’s original home directory (located on the
server) is mounted on the desktop.
Note: If you are using Portable Home Directories with mobile accounts, direct access to
the network home is recommend only for advanced users. This is because users can get
confused by the multiple folders which are all titled with their username as well as
multiple similarly named folders like Documents, Music, and others, some of which may
have the same content.
To automatically mount the Network Home:
1 In Workgroup Manager, click Preferences.
2 Make sure the right directory is selected and that you are authenticated for it.
To switch directories, click the small globe above the accounts list. If you are not
authenticated, click the lock.
3 Select a mobile user account in the account list.
4 Click Login.
5 Click Login Items.
6 Select a management setting (Once or Always).
7 Select “Add network home share point.”
8 Click Apply Now.
Providing Easy Access to the Group Share Point
After you have set up a group share point, you can make it easy for users to locate
group directories by accessing the share point automatically at login. (For information
about setting up a group share point, see “Working With Group Folder Settings” on
page 93.)
Note: This preference setting applies only to groups. You cannot manage this setting
for users or computers.
To add a login item for the group share point:
1 If you haven’t set up a group share point and group folder, do so before you proceed.
2 In Workgroup Manager, click Preferences.
3 Make sure the right directory is selected and that you are authenticated for it.
To switch directories, click the small globe above the accounts list. If you are not
authenticated, click the lock.
4 Click the Groups button and select one or more group accounts from the list
5 Click Login.
