Mac OSX mount share at login

On Mac OSX how to mount a share (smb, webdAV, nfs, apple share) at login and don't open finder for each share?

Use apple script application in utilities folder and add this for example:



mount volume "smb://user:password@ip_or_name_of_server/share"

or

mount volume "smb://DOMAIN\user:password@ip_or_name_of_server/share"

or

mount volume "smb://ip_or_name_of_server/share"


If you need more share add more then save as application. Then:

Go to system preferences, accounts, select user and add this application to login items. Now every time you login with that user the system will mount this share.

Bootcamp on Snow Leopard Server

The Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server don't have the option of Boot camp, if you want to have in the same machine for testing install perhaps the Debian or Windows Server you can't. So just copy the bootcamp application from a Snow Leopard Client and copy to utilities folder of Snow Leopard Server and Run it to make a partition and install. On reboot press and holt option key to choose what OS to Boot.

Use OSX Leopard Server 10.5 as a Client

I have a Mac Pro at home and I'm using a Macbook Pro on the street. I like to have server services for access, like VPN, iCalc Server, File Sharing, FTP, AFP. So instead to install all this services on Leopard client or make a dual boot with OSX Leopard Server. So i have install OSX Leopard Server as a primary OS and  i have all applications that i have use at OSX Leopard Client and everything seams to work so far. 

One thing i have learned  is better to install and setup a primary account as Administrator, and later add a user account for work. so if you have any problems you login as a Administrator and resolve the problem instead of reinstall the OS.

For setup a good setup install Leopard Server as a Advanced and don't add any service. I have found a very good Tutorial to setup Leopard Server DNS and Open Directory:

After you do this you can add OSX Clients and to laptops a good thing to use is mobile account that will be in sync with the Server.
