We are working on a hybrid network of 60 Mac OS X clients (mostly 10.4 but some 10.5) and 25 Win XP Pro machines. All users share data on the Win Server 2003 box and a NAS that is connected to a older XServe.
The issue is: we can manually mount the shares on the Macs (Finder > GO > Connect to Server) but they are not permanent (In Windows XP Pro - Map Drive > Reconect at logon and you are done). They tend to "disapear" from the Mac client after a time or when the user closes a session.
How can we mount the needed shares to the Windows Server on the Mac OS X machines so that they persist while the machine is up and also have them automatically re-mount every time the machine is re-booted and/or when the user logs back on?
This is a mission critical mandate.
Can we get these shares to mount using Mac's "Automator" or an AppleScript?
