David,
I have a ticket open with Apple regarding this very issue. The Apple tech was able to reproduce the issue himself, so it does appear to be a bug. He's escalated it up the chain, but is trying to find a workaround for us for now. I have found that if I kill the loginwindow process, which forces it to restart the loginwindow, I can get an AD user to logon the first time without the error message. It appears to be an issue with the loginwindow appearing before the directory services are fully loaded. Our early attempts at writing a startup script or launchdaemon that will kill the loginwindow once it appears so far haven't worked very well.
I'll post more once we make some progress on the issue and can further nail down the cause.

Subject: Weird Active Directory login issue
Hello all,
I'm not sure if I have posted here before or not or if there is a
better suited list for this question. My issue is that my latest
image is using Directory Services AD plug-in is acting strange on AD
logins. What is happening is that when you login using your Active
Directory account your first presented with a dialog about "The home
directory could not be located because it's on an AFP or SMB share,
please contact your system administrator". You click on the "Ok"
button and the login window shakes it's head no. When you try to log
back in it works fine..... now, it continues to work fine until you
restart so this appears to be some cache, database issue within the
system.
Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this to happen? This is
only happening on this one image (my latest build). Very strange.
Thank you
David Boyer
