i have spent the past 2 weeks searching google and have also searched these forums and have found standard responses using Automator and drag drive into login items...
But i need to do this for 100+ macs with over 500 Users who will be logging in using a Microsoft ADS bound to a Mac Snow Leopard Server in the city.local forest.
We will be rolling out a single mac student image and need help to create a login script on login that will:
1) mount network drive "cty-mac-stu/Users" using AFP on login
2) create a folder (on login if it doesnt exist already) under cty-mac-stu/Users with their username (using "whoami") e.g mount the folder afp://cty-mac-stu/Users/bob
3)make a desktop link of afp://cty-mac-stu/Users/[username] to /Volumes/[username] (using ln -s doesnt work) (is it possible to remove link on logoff???)
4) change/check the permissions of afp://cty-mac-stu/Users/[username] folder so only that user or an admin can access it on the AFP share
what I have so far and need help with all 3 items listed above
1)
2) no idea how to do this
3) no idea
4) no idea
any help on this would greatly reduce my stress levels and i'm sure would help a lot of people

tell application "Finder"
try
mount volume "afp://" & MyName & "@cty-mac-stu/" & MyName & "/ /Volumes/" & MyName & "/"
on error
display dialog "There was an error mounting the Volume " & MyName & return & return & "Please inform the support staff if the problem continues after a reboot." buttons {"Okay"} default button 1
end try
end tell
