[Casper] User Environment for group of users

[Ernst, Craig S.]

Hi Nathaniel,

Can you clarify the language here a bit for me...particularly the per user stuff.

Do you have additional settings that need to get applied to just these users (and not anyone who applies this particular package), AND a unique dock you want for these users as well?

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
