Mac Forum / Applications / Other MS Products / February 2005networking?
OK, not sure if this is the correct place for this questions but here goes. We are upgrading from our current Mac OS 9.2.2 to The new Mac OS Panther. Right now we have a Server (Macintosh OS Server 10.2.6). And the server hard drives automatically mount our desktops after we log in. so we have access to them throughout the day. My questions is will this task be as easy with the new upgrades? I am not a 100% how to do it with the new OS. If you guys have experience and suggestions they are all welcomed. Thank You in advance for your assistance.

You have a couple of ways to tackle this depending on your security and the way you choose to administer your systems. Since you have Mac OS X Server you should be able to use the Workgroup Manager to create network mounts that are connected for user automatically. Of course this will mean you must manage your Macs with the server. I would suggest keeping the OS versions between the server and the Macs the same to avoid any little inconsistencies. If you choose not to manage your Macs with the server and security is not a concern for you then you can use a simple login script to mount the drives. This would require you coding the user name and password into the script, which could be viewed by anyone. Apple's website has plenty of PDF documentation and other sites such as macenterprise.org and afp548.com are choc full of administrative documentation. Hope this helps! bill  SignatureWilliam M.
