<BR>
Can you clarify the language here a bit for me...particularly the per user stuff.<BR>
<BR>
Do you have additional settings that need to get applied to just these users (and not anyone who applies this particular package), AND a unique dock you want for these users as well?<BR>

We've started preparing for our online testing deployment and I'd like to trigger installs of software and user environment settings based on a login of certain users or a group of users. <BR>
For example, when "testing1" logs in who is a member of the AD group "online testing users" they should trigger the install of the testing software, User ennvironment settings and turn off some services (like anti-virus). So I can get the policy to trigger at the users login and the software to install, but the User Environment stuff doesn't seem to work, because I created the package in Compuser using a generic "student" account. Then the desktop,dock plists get placed for the local student account and not for the "testing1" account. I don't want to fill User Template or Existing Users on the machine b/c I only want it for this group of users. Do I need to create a UEV package for each testing user? or can I apply the UEV package to a group of users based on login name or group membership? and have it fill their user preferences? <BR>
Do I need to write some custom scripts instead? <BR>
