Using Login Scripts with OD

Has anyone had success using login scripts from OD? When I try to add a script to the login prefs, i get an error that the script is not executable.
Alternately, could anyone suggest an effective way to mount volumes based on user group membership? I've tried adding scripts, automator created apps and workflows to the login items without success.
thanks.

Hi
Good question. I don’t really know. What I can say is I once attended a site where two of Apple Euro’s technical consultants implemented both methods. Neither mentioned either as being ‘best practice’. Both methods worked by the way. My gut feeling is the method not involving a login script would probably be what Apple would steer you towards. Although in my opinion whatever method works for you that gives you what you want would be ‘best practice’.
Try cross posting this in the Terminal Forum. There are some guys there who are pretty handy when it comes to AppleScript.
Hope this helps – Tony

  • Login Scripts with managed computers

    I'm using workgroup manager with computer groups and I want to have a specific script running everytime people login into the client computers.
    The problem is : When i select the computer group or the computer itself in workgroup manager and then Preferences > Login > Scripts, i can't upload my script 'cause it's marked grey by the browsing window.
    I've checked my script, it's a shell script and it's executable but still...
    I've tried with an AppleScript but same story.
    How can i make a script compatible with workgroup manager ?

    Thanks for the hit, adding .hook extension make the script selectable from WGM, however nothing happens after login with one client computer.
    Is there anybody who actually succeeded to use the script option in WGM ?
    I want to mount a folder automaticaly after login in specific computers :
    So i wrote a shell script :
    makedir /Volumes/Directory
    mount_afp afp://192.168.220.1/Directory /Volumes/Directory
    Saved the script with the .hook extension, made it executable, checked it on the client computer : it works, changed com.apple.loginwindow.plist in the client computer but still nothing !
    I don't know what's wrong ?! I'm tired of trying, it's so difficult with OS X compared to Windows and bash script... I'm kind of giving up...
    OS X 10.5.1

  • JS: Using CS2 Scripts with CS3

    We're getting ready to (finally) upgrade from InDesign CS2 to CS3. We use several scripts (Javascript) regularly. I know quite a bit changed with the object model in CS3. I've seen a couple of threads here where Olav mentions "script versioning" that allows you to reference the old object model, but I haven't been able to find HOW to do that.
    I want to upgrade all of our scripts to the CS3 model, but that will take some time, as I am no expert. Is there a way to use our CS2 scripts just as they are for now (until I'm able to get them all updated)?
    Thanks,
    Lisa

    That script won't see any styles that are in style groups in CS3 -- is that the problem?
    Or it could be that the effect of simply reasserting the style in CS3 is different from CS/CS2. I don't remember.

  • How to use import script with FDM using adapter ERPI?

    Hi,
    I use FDM and ERPI 11.1.2 to load data from EBS R12 to Planning 11.1.2
    Data loaded from eBS are YTD data.
    I have seen that I could use an import script to calculate manually the amount with the periodic_net_cr and periodic_net_dr fields.
    But how to use this import script? Because in my import format in FDM, I don't use a file but directly the adapter, so no "Expression" field.
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Fanny

    Hello Fanny,
    No you will not need to put anything in the BatchAction. If you review the FDM API Documentation posted it will outline all the scripts that will execute for a particular event ... and the order in which they execute. The BatchAciton only affects the execution of the batch ... it does not control processing of data. Processing of data is controlled by many others.
    There is a script that can be written and placed (as Tony mentioned) in the ImportAction that will be able to recaculate the values from ERPi to be YTD values. You can possibly open an SR and a support Engineer can help you .... or you can search the current KM base and use that information there from the v11.1.1.3.00 version to build your own for v11.1.2.x
    Thank you,

  • Java Script With XE

    hi Expert,
    Can You Tell Me how to use Java Script With XE.
    Thanks
    Manoj

    Manoj.
    By the term "Use JavaScript", do you mean how to include JavaScript functions on your page(s) or are you looking for help in what JavaScript can be used for and how to add onclick, onchange events to form elements?
    If it is the former, there are several ways to include JavaScript onto your pages:
    1. Edit your page in the APEX Builder and place the normal syntax into the HTML Header Section i.e
    <script language="JavaScript">
    function hellWorld()
    alert ("Hello World");
    </script>2. Check out this article on how to link in File System based Javascript files: http://djmein.blogspot.com/2007/01/reference-javascript-from-file-system.html
    I hope that gets you started.
    Let me know if you need any more help.

  • Cannot record/playback script with certificate in OpenScript.

    Hi all,
    We are trying to record a simple load testing login script with a certificate, in OpenScript.
    But Internet Explorer just "hangs" for a long time where the certificate selection dialog is supposed to show up, then the message "Content-Length: 0 Connection: Keep-Alive" is shown in the browser.
    It doesn't work as an OpneScript functional test either. We can record the functional script, but at playback it fails to select a certificate in the "choose a digital certificate" dialog and eventually gets a timeout.
    Anyone having this problem?
    Axel

    Hi,
    I can't post the information here but might be able to send them on mail if needed.
    Addition: We can not make a simple HTTPS login-script even without a client-side certificate.

  • Deploy application using ant script vs shell script

    Hi,
    I work with OAS 10.1.2 and I'm using shell script with dcmctl command to deploy EAR into OC4J but I know that ant script do the same things. I want to know if my choice is good or is it better to use ant script ?
    Regards

    This is difficult to decide.
    When you have just a few ear files you deploy once in a while a shell script might be sufficient. When developing more complex systems you should use ant as this is easier to maintain.

    You are right.  I must be losing it.  My failure rate lately has been abnormally high.  I don't remember exactly how I searched before .. I thought I opened the Installation Guide an searched for 'silent' in "this document only" -- but all I came up with was references to dbca and emca ... nothing for OUI itself.  Now that I go back and do the same search, there it is.

  • Login scripts not running with AnyConnect NAM and ISE 1.2

    I am using AnyConnect 3.1 NAM as my 802.1x supplicant for ISE 1.2.  When users log in with EAP Chaining (User and Machine Auth), the login script seems hit or miss on if it runs to map their drives.  If I uninstall the NAM client, they map drives every time.  I would think that running a login script to map drives is a common scenario and I was wondering if anyone else using AnyConnect NAM was having similar issues or how they were dealing with it.

    I have the same issue and I solve the issue with change these parameters.
    1.- You must change on configuration profile "before user logon". I have 5 seconds
    2.- You must change on configuration profile  "port authentication Exception policy" and you must enable checkbox "enable port exceptions" and select "allow data traffic before authentication"
    3.- You must enable in the option of interface Ethernet Intel on PC "Wait for link" this option It's in "configured advanced of Intel. You must select "on" in this option.
    4.- (this recommendation it was by Cisco) 
    Active Direct GPO has a setting "Computer Configuration\Administrative
    Templates\System\Logon\ Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" that
    can be enabled to make the logon scripts wait till 802.1x authentication is completed.
    With those changes the logon script run fine.

  • Login Script for HP Thin Clients using Citrix

    Hi
    Could someone please assist me with this.
    I use a login script on my domain but I am now joining the HP Thin Clients onto the domain which will use SSON (Single Sign ON) which will automatically load citrix and use the current username and password to sign into the citrix session
    Is there a command I can use that will "check" the version of windows and if this is Windows 7 embedded Standard edition, then it will bypass all the commands and go to the end of the script.
    I was trying something like this IF "%OS Version%" == "Microsoft Windows 7 Embedded Standard" goto END
    I know you can use this for a "Computer Name" but we have so many terminals and would need to store all the names of them on the servers.
    Please can someone give me some advise on this.
    Thanks
    Martin

    Hi,
    As far as I know, you can user command systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name" /C:"OS Version"to check current system edition in
    Command Prompt. However, as I'm not fimilar with script, to need more assistance for your problem, it would be better to provide your question at script center.

  • In a Conversion file, Using Java Script - IF statement with Greater,Less definitions

    Hail to All Gurus,
    Well, I've been trying to make a conversion file by using if statement of Java script with < , > definitions. unfortunately i got "Evolution error" over and over again.
    Actually i want to convert all dates before 2009 as 2008.12. And the dates which is greater than 2009 will be converted as they are (e.g. 2009.01 or 2010.02 etc.).
    Code is:
