I have posted a slightly fixed version of Network Login 2, bringing the version to 2.0.1. This fixes a problem that could come up if you tried to run the software while the share in question was mounted, but the user's folder was not open.

There is also a new version of Server Cleanup, version 2.5 (I skipped 2.4 as a lost cause). This version, among other fixes, includes the ability to use it in an Active Directory environment. There is still some testing to be done in the AD side of the program. I also added the ability to remove the Metadata caches and the Appleworks User Data folder. I have had several requests for Pictures and Music folder redirection and have looked into it, but it does not seem feasible. While I can make the redirection easily enough, iTunes and iPhoto create specifically name Libraries in these folders and redirecting multiple users into the same place for these programs is only going to lead to conflicts.

There is also a pdf in the Documents section outlining how to use 10.4 server and 10.4 clients to force a desktop picture setting to your managed users.
