Re: Server going crazy trying to automount user homes

I recently bound a couple of 10.4.8 server to our AD. This is a magic triangle setup, where the OD exists purely for groups and MCX. Since then, when you authenticate to the server via AFP or SMB with an AD user you get the appropriate list of shares, plus one extra. It appears that the server is attempting to “patch through” your user’s home directory; for me, the extra share is called MROSENBERG$, corresponding to my username. If I logged into a client Mac with that username, that’s the name the network home would have.

The system logs on the servers have tons of entries like these:

Mar 19 11:55:43 dcxserv01 automount[28703]: Can't mount REDOUBT.mgmmirage.org:/VHANLEY$ on /private/Network/Servers/REDOUBT.mgmmirage.org/VHANLEY$: Invalid argument (22)
Mar 19 11:55:43 dcxserv01 automount[28703]: Attempt to mount /automount/Servers/REDOUBT.mgmmirage.org/VHANLEY$ returned 22 (Invalid argument)

The sequences of entries from the same timestamp is long, and appears to contain these two lines for every AD user who has ever connected with AFP or SMB. Both servers give the entire sequence of errors every few minutes. What’s going on, and how do I stop it?

I’ve been doing more investigating. It appears that every time a user connects to these servers and authenticates, the server pulls the location of their home from the Active Directory and adds it to its list of potential home locations. When I connect with Workgroup Manager, select an AD or OD user, and look at the Home tab, I see a ton of NFS URLs.

How can I stop the server from either 1) adding these locations to its Home list at all, or 2) at least stop it from trying to automount them all the time?

Thanks,
Matt
