Right I have gone back and revisited LoginHooks and got it to work with an example shell script. The problem I think I have is that I am calling an applescript and referencing to the finder appilcation. At the point the shell script tries to call the applescript it falls over because I dont think finder is running yet. I've tried the sleep command, but that just delays the login. Does anyone know if there is a way to make a shell script wait until the Finder Application has launched then run the applescript. Thanks for the help so far.

We just have the one imac here at the moment that we are messing about with the theory of what we would do if we have more. Shame if it cant be done without need for a server as the applescript runs great if clicked on manually. Will look into server anyway Thanks.

Hi there no we don't have a mac server.

Hi, We have the same problem specifically related to flash videos on iplayer and youtube. We found it to be the proxy causing the issue (weird i know) as luckily we have a direct connection to test it out on. Normal flash content appears to be perfeclty fine. We have exactly the same issue on our linux clients and iplayer / youtube (non flash versions) on the ipad. I havent got a solution though sorry. Yes windows works fine for us too.

Hello i was wondering if any Mac guru's could provide me with some much appreciated help. We have added our new iMac to the windows domain and i've written an applescript that I want to run whenever an active directory user logs in. The problem I'm having is I cant find out how to get it to run with every user's login. There are numerous guides on the web for each inidividual user, but im having no joy finding a solution for active directory users. I've tried having a little dabble with some loginhooks but still no go. I really want to use this script as it contains some logic to map network drives based on the type of user who is logging onto the Mac. If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd be really grateful. Thanks

Aye we have started using public folders too. You can also assign permissions of who is allowed to view/edit the calendars in there as well.

You could try a vb script similar to this and just have a list of accounts you want in an Excel (2003) file:
