Logging in all the computers for the little ones.



I'm a tech coordinator in 3 elementary schools. When the littlest ones
arrive logging into the OS 10.3.9 Server on a 10.2.8 workstation takes
forever. They can't spell very well, they don't know where all the keys
are, and one error and they are back to square one. An Apple System
Engineer gave me the code below that I can put into ARD and log the
machines in under a generic guest user and it will supposedly run in ARD
and log every kid in. It has a problem in that it doesn't work. Can
anyone see why not? The code is:

osascript <<EOF

set logInUser to "kid"
set logInPassword to "kidpassword"

tell application "System Events"
tell application process "loginwindow"
-- Really, I am not sure if I need all these delays, but
it seemed to help
keystroke logInUser
delay 1
keystroke tab
delay 1
repeat with aChar in characters of logInPassword
keystroke aChar
delay 0.2
end repeat

keystroke return
end tell
end tell

And if you could cc a copy to me at email@hidden
<mailto:email@hidden> that would be great and I'd be sure
to get it as quickly as possible.

Thank you.
