network mounts</font></table>

<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">Dear All,<br>
<br>
I too am setting up a render farm.<br>
<br>
I would like to use my computer labs at night as a render node and I am
trying to automate as much as possible including not having to visit the
render farm.<br>
<br>
My understanding is that the computers being used in the render node have
to have the render source files mounted and I also want to mount the render
destination as well, (another network share).<br>
<br>
My challenge is that my labs are used by students with network mounts who
when they leave them log out which unmounts any network shares. So
how do I make the render farm shares mount on these computers.<br>
<br>
I can probably write a log out script so that when a user logs out the
render farm network shares automatically mount but was wondering
if anyone else has already got a solution for this. Running OD Master with
bound Clients<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
