Hi all,

We are currently in the process of deploying macs and we have a couple of applications we need to run on every startup, how does everyone go about achieving this in their environments? 

 

The applications we need to start automatically is Microsoft Teams (I'm aware of the tick box within the app to run on start but would rather automate this) and the other is Xink for email signatures? 

Looking for some advice and examples to guide us if possible.

TIA.  

A LaunchDaemon is probably the easiest way to achieve this, outside of what a vendor already provides.

It would be LauchDaemons. Many of your applications like Teams that you would want to automatically launch, already do automatically launch once the user logs in the 1st time. You can also set up which apps automatically launch in JAMF, but its kinda flaky.
