Hi,
Actually I'm not using the home folder for a Windows workstation. This is
for my Mac OS X people who using AD for login authentication. The Mac know to
look for tht and mount the share automatic for people when they login. Since
it's a Mac, GPO won't work. Any help with this script is greatly appreciated.
