The answer to that is easy, yet complicated. There is ( a lot
of ) history within the school between the mac users and the IT
department. For the longest time the macs were on OS9 and were stand
alone machines. They have now moved up to 10.4, and at the same time
the IT department implemented a printer quota requiring students to
pay for their print jobs. Due to the history between both sides, the
mac users want as little to do as possible with the IT department,
and the IT department would like to get rid of the macs and put in
windows machines. So that gives you a rough idea of the why part.
Now the script that I'm trying to write seems like an elegant
solution to my particular problem. This would keep both parties
happy. It would keep the IT department happy as page costs would be
covered, and it would keep the mac users happy as it would keep the
IT department out of their machines.

Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a login hook using applescript. It might
be more
practical to run it as a login item. I need my script to do two
things.
The first is to mount an smb volume on the user's desktop after they
authenticate so they have access to that.
[...]
The next part of that is to take the user name and password that
they just
used, and authenticate to the windows print server.
Paul,
Serious question: why isn't this being handled by directory services
on the servers?
