Updated to get the nodename from the users dscl record & then use quoted form.

So now working on 10.7 :)

How are you getting the script to push from Casper?
Casper runs scripts as root so you can't get the logged on user by doing whoami.
Casper does have a few system variables it uses to push things to scripts that you run and logged in user is one of them "$3".
In bash you just set the script to say something like loggedinuser=$3 but how would you do that in an applescript?
(I tried set loggedInUser to do shell script "$3") and that didn't work.

You're right. 'whoami' in a script run via Casper will return "root"
You can change that line to something like:

set loggedInUser to do shell script "/usr/bin/who | awk '/console/{print $1}'"

$3 will also work, but only for login triggers and via Self Service.

I've used each of the 3 @ one point.

1. LaunchAgent deployed via Casper
2. MCX
3. [Configuration profiles/li]
