[Casper] Portable home and imaged machines

If you log in as a mobile user and manually get a Kerberos ticket, are
you able to map the home directory manually (cmd + K) in the OS and will
it map with out authentication?

The home folders are on a Windows box?  Are they connecting via SMB,
NFS, or are you running AFP on your Windows servers?

How did you replicate these settings, are you talking about an Open
Directory Replica server?

Did you import users/groups into open directory from AD?

We are preparing for a very large roll out using Casper Suite and it¹s
imaging options.  We are also moving from true network homes in an
OD/AD
triangle to portable homes, some with syncing and some without.  I had
a
machine all working with a test server and settings, then replicated
those
settings on another server, but we don¹t seem to be able to get the
PHD
settings working on our test box when adding the computer to either
server¹s
PHD computer lists.

This is all a new process to us, we we¹re assuming we missed some
critical
setting while producing the image.  We did tick the box in Directory
Utility
AD settings to create the mobile account.  Home directories are on a
Windows
server.
