Hello Ya'll, here's the scoop.
Running 10.3.9 server ODM, with a bunch of 10.3.4-10.3.9 workstations, users have remote home folders on the server.
I am implementing iHook, for scripted preferences. Every machine has iHook installed no problem. Now, the files (preferences) I will be copying to their stations are on the server, along with the .ihook scripts.
Here's an idea of how it's setup, home folders are on the server as:
/Shared Items/ProUsers/myusername
I made a hidden folder called .managedprefs on the root of the user home folders like so:
/Shared Items/ProUsers/.managedprefs
with folders like
/Shared Items/ProUsers/.managedprefs/prefs/defaultquarkprefs
and scripts like
/Shared Items/ProUsers/.managedprefs/pushprefs.ihook
The ONLY problem with all this, is that in the workgroup manager, with a user selected, under Preferences / Login / Login Items
I set "Manage these settings" -> Always
then in "Open these items automatically when the user logs in"
from the server, I just drag my .ihook file onto there.
HEREIN LIES THE PROBLEM
users logging in are not launching that file, I have a suspicion that OS X can't find the file, because the path might be different on the server than it is on the workstation. When I drag the ihook file into place on the workstation itself, the ihook file launches fine.
