Auto-mounting Network Shares using Login Items stopped working since Ventura

It's a case of Ventura working "too well" and the Login Items running before the network is ready.

Mac mini, macOS 13.6

I finally found a workaround that works every time again!


  1. Finder > Go > Connect to Server
  2. Connect and save the username/password to your keychain


  1. Open Automator
  2. Create a new Workflow
  3. Add a Pause for 30 seconds
  4. Add a Get Specified Server
  5. Click (+) to add your servers to it
  6. Add a Connect to Servers
  7. Save the app as ServerConnect.app somewhere safe (like Applications)


  1. In System Preferences > General > Login Items
  2. Add ServerConnect.app
