Automount network shares

Enable this group policy to automatically mount network shares when a user logs in.

This policy would create folder "Network Shares" in the desktop and a dock icon, the folder contains shortcuts to the mount points, and the dock icon just link to the folder.
NOTE: For mounted afp shares on Mac OS X 10.6/10.7, link will be created to the share itself instead of the actual folder inside the share. For example, if afp share is afp://server.domain.com/share/folder, then link will be created to "share" instead of "folder".

This policy supports SMB/AFP/NFS shares. The following network shares are valid:

smb://server/share
smb://server/s p ace
smb://server/hidden$
smb://server/share/subdir
smb://user:password@server/share
smb://user:@server/share
afp://server/share
nfs://server/share
nfs://192.168.0.1/share

- Mount to
Specify a location where share folders should be mounted to. Path should start with '/' or '~'. The default value is "~/Network Shares" where network share folders would be mounted under the directory "Network Shares" of user's home directory

- Create Dock icon
Check this option to create links to network shares on user's Dock. Uncheck this option if there's problem creating link on Dock.


Once enabled, this group policy takes effect when users log out and back in.
