Mount a second share during authentication
Hi dudes actually my clients are authenticating via AD, mounting the resource and accessing their home where they can do all their stuff. They see only their home but i need them to have access to another shared folder where they can pick up and drop files and share those in between them. Is it possible to tell the Isilon to do that? I would like to tell the isilon to mount those folders instead an automount from the machine. All my environment is a mac based SMB, no windows computers.

mounting is always done by the client; there is no way for a server to 'push' a mount to a client.
Helpful Isilon docs for Mac clients:

Thanks for your answer, but when the clients authenticate using AD somehow the volume is mounted, who pushes that mount, the AD or the isilon? I expected to be possible to push another mount taking into account the first thing happens.
I want the users to mount the shared volume /ifs/data when they authenticate. In that folder are all the users home folder and some other folders for which all users have access.

In the Unix world this is done via automount, which needs to be set up on the clients.
On Macs, a very simple way to use automount for a "login item" is described in the first of the linked papers in section 1.3.2 automount. Usually, in larger and more automated environments, automount is configured to lookup up the mount volumes/shares from a central repository on the network.
In the Windows/AD world there is the option to specify additional mapped shares under Group Policies. Not sure though whether Macs are honoring these settings.
