We use OS X Server 10.3 and Open Directory to manage our user accounts and
have network home folders which are located on the server. However, I've
found that some basic scripts won't run properly while logged into a
workstation using network account. For example:
tell application "Finder"
return file type of [insert file path here]
end tell
Finder returns an error -1728 - "Can't get file type of [file path] into a
string.
However, if I run that script while logged into the machine using a local
account, it works fine. I've noticed similar sorts of problems while trying
to use URL Access Scripting to download a file to the desktop. It says "Disk
not found" even though I'm giving the script a properly formatted file
reference.
I'm hoping someone has run into this before and found a solution other than
setting up local accounts for the users. Network users and home directories
are a necessity for us.
