10.3: Set Active Directory to mount a single home share
In my experience, this article seemed a little misleading. With this tip, it seems that the user should be able to log in and his/her home folder (containing Library, Documents, Movies, Pictures, etc.) will be automatically created in this network home folder. This doesn't actually happen for me. However, it did automount the share for the user, and put a nice secondary home folder, if you will (for file storage, NOT Library, prefs, etc) alias in my dock. The user's profile was still created locally. Therefore, it is not what I would call a true home folder.
To get a true home folder from this hint, you'll need this extra step:
In /Library/Preferences/ open the ActiveDirectory.plist in a text editor (SAVE A BACKUP FIRST!). You'll need to be root. Below the line, near the top, that reads
change the to . If these two lines don't exist, add them just before the key Reboot. Now, you should have a true network home folder.
