Hi,

We have a requirement to start certain items at login (a few .app, and some network shares) larger dependant on which AD group a user is in.

Using Policies we can get it to run but it only seems to run as root, not as the logging in user.

Using MCXs (by importing an already configured LoginItems plist and also by following the instructions provided on this website) we have also tried to configure the same but this just seems to be ignored (whilst other MCXs work fine).

Any advice?

    Thanks Jared. That would work for items that need to run no matter what user logs in, but we have certain applications and network shares that need to mount depending on what user logs in.

    I'm thinking like how in Workgroup Manager you could set an MCX on a user group to mount a share.

    I'd fiddle with

    dscl . -mcxset /Groups/xxxx

    and see if that gets you what you need.
