<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Sorry, I'm not clear myself in some
ways. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">when a user from an AD group called
"online testers" logs in to a computer I want a policy activated
by that login to set the desktop, dock, system settings and install the
test application software package. The dock will be empty except
for that one test application, some finder prefs (don't show connected
servers" and a different background desktop to show that it isn't
a standard user. So the Application package isn't unique to the user
but the Dock and such are unique to the user who is a member of this group.
I don't want this online testing User Environment settings to be
applied to other users on the computer or the User template on the computer.
Just these few testing users who will get local home directories
made on the computer when they login-per the AD plugin settings.</font>

<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>
<br>
Version 6.01 <br>

Thanks <br>
