[Casper] User Environment for group of users

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. 
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?
Do I need to write some custom scripts instead?

Version 6.01

Thanks
