I am pretty sure this was covered over on the Mac Enterprise mailing
list (a very good compliment to this mailing list if you aren't
already on it) recently. You can find it and its archives over at:
I fear I don't remember the thread name/subject, so you'll have to do
some digging.

Sorry if this has been posted already but I have not been able to
find any answers with how to deal with the new way Leopard client
handles network mounts under the sidebar and I really need to
return the behavior to how it worked in 10.4 to maintain simplicity
for student labs.
The problem is that when a user creates a new document within an
application they can no longer select the network volume to save it
to without first having to browse all of the network resources and
shares on the server. For this particular lab it means successfully
finding the fileserver from a list of 45 machines listed and then
locating the users network home on that machine. This is very
difficult for an early years student to perform.
Under 10.4 the users would see their network home and a shared
group in the sidebar and were able to save directly to the
location. The lab machines are bound to AD with a local home
created and Open Directory is used for mcx management. So far I
have not had any success trying to send out a managed sidebar.plist
that will show the shares in the sidebar.
Thanks in advance.
