Permission problems when using FUT

[#1]

Hey Guys

When I deploy settings for the user specifically (system preference settings
eg screensaver etc) and the machine is at the login screen. The preference
files will be added to the users preference folder but all the permissions
are wrong, the settings will not apply and because I am using mobile
accounts I then have issues when the new pref files will not sync. If
however, I log into the user account and then deploy the prefs they work
correctly. How do I get this working without logging into the users account.

I am also having an issue where my login policies from casper do not deploy
at all. They are set to once per user at login and nothing happens.

Any ideas?

Using mobile accounts on Leopard Server 10.5 with 10.5.5 clients and Casper
6.01

Thanks

Hi Richard,

When you say casper does nothing for your login policy, does that mean you see nothing in the jamf.log on that local machine when the jamf binary checks for login policies as well? If nothing is getting to the client and it is checking for login policies correctly the issue is most likely in how you have the policy configured. Make sure your scope of machines is set correctly.

If you are getting errors in the jamf.log about something then we can tackle that. Post that log info back...

Not much help I know, but that's where I'd start.
