How do I apply a User-specific profile to an Active Directory user in Mac Server Profile Manager?
I have the Magic Triangle setup & working fine; Mac Server 10.8 on a Mac Mini & Active Directory on Windows 2012 Server on its own box talking to each other ok.
I can see the AD users in the Server -> Users ok.
But when I open Profile Manager in the Mac Server, I cannot figure out how to apply a configuration profile or user profile to a specific user account in Profile Manager. I can see the Active Directory groups in Profile Manager but I'm missing something here.
How do you apply, for example, a profile that maps a network drive for a specific Active Directory user in Profile Manager?
Thanks!

Thanks Ed, I would agree with you except I deleted a user-specific profile I created and I just cannot recall how I created it. I recall it was far from intuitive. The profile was named Settings for Bob Smith.mobileconfig.
Are you sure? :)

I think I just stumbled onto how I did it. This assumes you've already bound OD to AD.
1) Mac Server -> OD: change the drop-down box to show "Users from your Active Directory domain"
2) Right-click the desired user & select "Edit Access to Services"
3) Open Profile Manager & under Users, that user should now be listed and ready to have a Profile applied to him/her.
I think that's how I did it. Re-checking my steps now....

Confirmed, this is working, unless I've had too much wine.... again... :)
Just kidding, it's working. But I also had to apply "List Folder Contents" for the "Authenticated Users" account to the parent folder where I have all these user folders on the Windows server before the Mac would map it properly.

stand by..... this might not be working.... I'm logging on as a different user (not the user I created the profile for) and it's still trying to map the drive. Let me work on this for another day or so... lots going on right now...

This project has been abandoned here at the office for now. I'll toss some point just to close this thread for now. I'll recreate the thread later if needed.
Thanks. Hopefully next time will be better.
You would have to create either an OD group or an AD group and put that user in the group and apply your settings.
