MCX Cache

Update MCX Cache
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/mcxd.app/Contents/Resources/MCXCacher -U UserNameHere

/System/Library/CoreServices/mcxd.app/Contents/Resources/MCXCacher

MCXCacher -U usershortname [-h homepath]
Creates (or overwrites an existing) mobile account on the current
machine for user "usershortname" with optional home path "homepath"

MCXCacher
Performs the pre-login checks and refreshes cache if required.

MCXCacher -u usershortname
Performs the post login checks and refreshes caches -- does
everything that "MCXCacher" does plus caches the current user's
mcx_settings

MCXCacher -f
Flushes the cache (Mobile accounts not removed; but system is unmanaged)

MCXCacher -d
Dirties the cache so that it will be refreshes at the next login
("MCXCacher" call by mcxd)
-----------------------

MCXCacher -f will put the machine into an unmanaged state until the
next time it reconnects to the management server, so it's a rather
drastic thing to do. From memory, if you run this command, Mobile
Users won't be able to login at the loginwindow unless the machine
can connect to the management server at that time.

MCXCacher -d does the right thing in the vast majority of cases, and
as John DeTroye just pointed out to me, runs at login/logout and
restart.

The flags that allow you to specify where a mobile user home
directory is created are really useful though. I'm using it with a
login hook that means that my users get their home directory set to
another partition when they first login as a Mobile User.
