SMB Connection Resolve to AD, Point to User Share
I've got an unusual problem that deals with connecting via SMB under Snow Leopard, to a directory share with over 1,000 users. When I connect to the main directory share, the next level reveals 1,000 users, but I'd like to have the connection identify me as a registered user in AD at the time of authentication into the SMB connection, point to my specifically created share (or username, in this case), then only open that share (my share).

I'll give you an example of the pref script:

sudo cp smb://homebusiness.mine.com.inetloc "/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Library/Favorites"

What I don't want, is for any user to authenticate via SMB, and have to filter through 1,000 users to find their specific share. I'd like to write it into a pref script such as I've done above and copy it into terminal, and write the path into the server favorites when a user logs in on any machine.
