My company just switched 50% of their users to PowerBooks G5s IMacs EMacs XYZMacs and A heathy dose of Epson printers so they can check their email and surf the internet.
Ok fine.
I'll go with this with open arms and see where it takes me.
Most of the switch has been pretty simple aside from people wanting to move their 200mbs worth of emails from the windows machines to the Macs. I had to tell them, sorry about their luck with that ordeal. Now my only major hold up at this point is that they are not the sharpest people around and have issues with the steps involved with using the finder to mount 4 network drives every morning and I cant really blame them.
Can anybody tell me step by step how to setup a script to mount these drive when the user boots up in the morning?
From what I can tell from some of the treads in this forum there is a way to use a script to auto munt the drive that are located on a windows server. The most promising that I found was this . . .
mount_smbfs //[username]@server/dir /path/to/mount/point
I have no real idea what this is or where to put it.
I know the username and server part but dont understand what the /path/to/mount/piont should be.
Is it going to use the stored passwords to get in or ask the user for them everyday?
Thanks
