I have our Mac desktops plugged into the directory tree and pulling home directories from the Netware servers. Works well but we had to get creative with iMovie because it really really doesn't work well with networked home directories. Not that I wantthat much on the server anyway! But with a little sum linking was able to work it out.
Our laptop users all are local with ldap authentication but they rsync to the network drives. I gets checked in on every now and the. But for the most part it works. I really don't like Apples solution for mobile accounts (requires OSX server). But using built in tools I was able to craft some sync options for our laptop users. All in all don't use iMovie in the network. It has never been a good idea but specifically where home directories were concerned. -Heath Henderson On Sep 17, 2010, at 7:38 AM, Joseph Lee <joseph...@apple.com> wrote: > Hi Jennifer, > > Most of my schools are not syncing these folders because of the size these > folders can get. > > In Workgroup Manager, they are choosing to sync only their documents folder > and somme library preferences.
