Automount AFP shares using Applescript
Authored by: allanmarcus on Feb 18, '05 02:53:47PM

AFP is initialized before the login screen is displayed, so something else is going on with your machine.

You should not need an AppleScript to automount an AFP volume. here's what you do:

1) Mount the AFP volume with the finder
2) goto ~/Library/Recent Servers
You should see a file with the same name as the server you just mounted.
3) Drag this file into the login items in the Accounts system pref.

You will be prompted for a password after the finder loads, and if you authenticate, the volume will be mounted.

To mount a specific volume, in step one enter:

afp://server-name.com/volume-name

Automount AFP shares using Applescript

That was what I had done, unfortunately that stopped on one machine shortly after we got it working. The other nine machines had no problems with that method. This is to force the automount, nothing more.
