<BR>
I’m glad that you’ve got a working solution, but you and JAMF will have to pardon my soapbox about Apple since I see an Apple email address copied on this message.<BR>
<BR>
I know that one of the folks in our area worked out a similar solution a long while back with screen control, but to me this is a hack and not a real solution. All Apple needs to do is add some simple command line interaction with their application and MANY people would not be going through what you’ve been going through. I just don’t get what the hang up is on Apple’s part, like this request is somehow foreign in an Enterprise environment they seemingly want to be a part of, particularly in education where I think they are pushing dual-platform systems and hardware.<BR>
<BR>
I’ve gone through my Apple channels with no response regarding this and talk about frustration...<BR>
<BR>
Tom, let us know how reliable this turns out to be for you.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks...and good night.<BR>

After a long and hard day of surfing the web and google searching every possibility my Novell/software developer guy I work with actually figured it out. Now, when a user logs into windows there is an object policy in Novell that if they have the bootcamp.exe installed on their machine it will automatically launch the MAP testing software. Now, once they exit the machine it runs a script which invokes a freeware program called autoIT. AutoIT will detect the current open window and can open and execute programs. So we told it to open up the boot camp manager in windows, select OS X start up disk and you can map mouse coordinates for current open windows. He basically mapped out where the OK button is located to reboot and then told it to reboot the system. Then it reboots back into OS X. I found this all on a thread from Bombich's site.<BR>
<BR>
This would also be great for anyone who was deploying dual booting OS X/Windows boxes and wanted the machine to after it was done imaging reboot windows to run sysprep just once, and then reboot back into OS X permanently.<BR>
<BR>
here is the script:<BR>
<BR>
;; boot_to_osx.au3<BR>
;;<BR>
;; there's no way to do this with the command line or anything,<BR>
;; so here's a little autoit script to use apple's provided<BR>
;; utility to bless the OSX drive.<BR>
<BR>
#requireadmin<BR>
Local $dom = envget("USERDOMAIN")<BR>
;;runas("maptestadmin",$dom,"m4pt3st",0,"C:\Windows\system32\AppleControlPanel.exe")<BR>
Run("C:\Windows\system32\AppleControlPanel.exe")<BR>
WinWait("Boot Camp Control Panel")<BR>
WinActivate("Boot Camp Control Panel")<BR>
WinWaitActive ("Boot Camp Control Panel")<BR>
ControlClick ("Boot Camp Control Panel", "", "[CLASSNN:SysListView321]", "left", 1, 40, 20)<BR>
ControlClick("Boot Camp Control Panel", "OK", 1)<BR>
Run("C:\Windows\system32\shutdown.exe -f -r -t 0")<BR>

<BR>
here is the app autoIT<BR>

Sorry if this is beating a dead horse, but I even have some peopel at Apple helping me on this one. I am also, on a side note, missing the corporate world now where you don't need to micromanage your users as much.<BR>
<BR>
So, I know that the exe file for boot camp in Windows lives here<BR>
<BR>
C:\Program Files\Boot Camp\KbMgr.exe<BR>
<BR>
I was thinking I could do a simple script like this (and my Windows scripting skills suck)<BR>
<BR>
@echo off<BR>
rem run your program and wait until its done<BR>
start /wait \\path\to\maptest ......<BR>
<BR>
rem bootcampfix ....<BR>
C:\Program Files\Boot Camp\KbdMgr.exe".... Restart in Mac OS X....<BR>
<BR>
rem schedule reboot NOW. during testing change 0 to 60<BR>
rem reboot can be stopped by shutdown -a from a cmd prompt (start menu/run cmd)<BR>
shutdown -r -t 0<BR>
<BR>
However I don't think it works, well I know it doesn't work.<BR>
