Hi
I'm trying to configure the macs in my office so they behave similarly to our PCs in the way that users can hotdesk etc. I've already configured the Mac to allow log-ons that are authenticated to our LDAP server, but now I want to change the home directory locations to a network drive so that users can log on to each Mac without having to have a local user account created. Does anyone have any ideas? I've got a feeling it's something in Inetinfo manager, but if anyone could offer me any help I'd be most grateful.
Thanks
Rich

You need a server setup to do NetBoot, once you have that
go to Apple Menu>System Preferences>Startup Disk and
select the NetBoot volume
