Re: SHome Folder not available or has moved error -LOSING IT !!!!!!!!!!

by adding ip into directory services i ASSUME that you mean on the client so that they go direct to the server with the home folder

this is a specific listed step in apples manual that all clients that are using network homes need to have the ip address of the server with the home folder added - without that it is very very flakey.

however that bit of info is buried at the end of a paragraph near the bottom of a page half way through the docs and is not indexed. but as -dhan would remind us it IS there and it IS required.

to

on client - go to:
applications/utilities/Directory Access
and UNCHECK box "use dhcp supplied LDAPv3"
then
applications/utilities/Directory Access LDAPv3-Authentication:


select custom path
add line /LADPv3/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
add line /LDAPv3/fqdn


home folders will be forever unreliable without this being done.

great response!! Thanks so much people - I pass this stuff on!

>From your replies, it appears that getting the 'home folder missing' error:

1. Is quite common.
2. Is more common when trying to force OS X clients to bind across subnets to the server.
3. Can be beaten via scripts which delay the boot sequence.

This would explain why I got the whole pathetic mess to work today (yay caffeine!) by duplicating the LDAP server in Directory Services and entering the IP address as a search base. ( two entries in Directory Services/LDAPv3) This means it probably just slows down the load enough to work.

What about the persistent ethernet switching error?
