Adding Network Mounts to MacOS

Trying to get Network Mounts I have setup in a User Profile for MacOS, but they arent appearing on the Operating System when you login.  The Mac is added to our Domain and enrolled in WorkSpace One.  Other areas of the user profile are applying properly and the device profile is applying as well.  Its just the network mounts that arent showing up.  The mounts in the profile are listed using smb://server/folder and I can access any of them if I manually go to GO - Connect to Server and type the path in....but I do get a prompt telling me I am trying to connect to the path, which I just click connect...

This is a Mac running High Sierra, but I've tried it with Mojave as well.   I've tried them as Network Mounts and Authenticated Network Mounts with no luck

I ended up being told by VMWare support that this was a bug in Workspace One that is causing this issue....

You may have to use the full domain name like instead of "smb://MyServer/FolderShare" you may have to put "smb://MyServer.companydomain.com/FolderShare"

Another thought is, are the network mounts based on AD access? Do you have anything providing Kerberos or whatever your authentication is? We use Enterprise Connect for now until we can get the new stuff for 10.15 ready. Enterprise Connect still works in 10.15 and as far back as 10.12 I believe.

Checkout NoMAD. One can set the home share and other shares in the plist/profile.
