Login script issues

[Sean_M_Harper]

Hello everyone:

I am not new to apple machines, but took over as Apple Admin for a school district about three months ago. Currently the entire system runs on a "Golden (or magic) Triangle" setup. When a user logs into OS X and selects their group, a login script (made into an application via Automator) runs from /Applications/Scripts.

I need to know the BEST way to have this script run at login for any user. I would love to do this using Casper only, as it appears to currently run via MCX, which I know is "not supported".

This script is extremely important because it mounts a share called "macfix$" which allows a AD authenticated user to bypass certain filter settings. However, for some reason this share mount is set security wise to be mountable by everyone, but without the script it boots the user unless they are of domain admin level.

I have attached the script, and I am open to any and all suggestions.

Dear Sean:

What about running the script as a LaunchAgent?

Sincerely,

I do not know much about them, so I will look into that right now. More info as I move along.
