Hi all,
I've googled around and searched the forums but I really can't find a decent solution to this:
I wanna completely move away from our Windows desktops and use Ubuntu.
We implemented likewise-open to authenticate against our Active Directory very successfully. likewise creates homedirs like /home/DOMAIN/username
Is there an easy way to 'remote-mount' the /home/DOMAIN/username to a server so the home dirs are stored there so my users can roam around and have their settings available on every desktop?
I'm familiar NFS or Samba but I read there's alot of messy permissions-configuration with that. Anyone with any experience on this?
Furthermore, are there any good administration tools for administring a lot of desktops? (like installing and removing packages on all the desktops at once, pushing settings to all the desktops etc.) ?
