Behalf Of Stranathan, Dan 1)
Most Mac users have a Cisco VPN client, and use it regularly to connect to the
company's LAN from home, hotels etc. Of course when they log into the network
via VPN, their network volumes are not mounted automatically. Is their a way to
re-run the MCX managed login items script once they connect to the VPN and
mount (i.e.; "map") their network drives? Sure, users can simple use
the "Connect To Server" option in the FInder (or perhaps try and use
the god-awful Leopard Finder sidebar discovery browser thingy which users
hate), but I need a consistent automated way to mount volumes quickly
and easily for my mobile users. There must be a way to run (or re-run) the
login items part of my MCX policies manually. 2) When users are off our LAN, the Mac
still tries to mount the network volumes in their OD/MCX login items when the
user logs in (with cached mobile credentials). Can this be avoided? I need away
for the users Macs to not try and connect to network shares that are stored as
login items in their MCX policies. WOrks great when they are on the
LAN, but is useless if they are off the LAN. They get tired of the
"network volume cant be found" error. Dan, try using MCX to place aliases of the volumes that they
need access to on the dock. This way they don’t attempt to mount at startup.
When/if the user needs them they simply click on the alias of the volume or
folder in the dock and it mounts it. Dedrick |
