Push login script from server to user workstations

Hi guys! i've searched through internet, but couldn't find a proper solution. i have a domain controller and active directory based policy win 2003, one xserve running mac os x server 10.6.8 and alot of macs workstations. How can i push login script on all macs without adding it in login items? The script i want to store on smb or afp share disk, and will be edited from time to time. I've tried to add it on xserve from WGM, but it threw an error that current directory schema doesn't store desktop settings.

So how can i solve this?

So you want a login script stored on a share, but you don't want a login script? Can you explain some more of the particular limitations and constraints you're working within?

If I understand what you're up to, maybe push a generic login script that checks for and invokes the shared script, pushing that baseline script with ARD?

And join the Mac Enterprise mailing list for some similar discussions, and you can search the mailing list archives for related materials and discussions.

Thank you for your reply. Actualy i do not want manualy add script as a login item on each machine (i have them over 400). All i need to attach a script on all macs at once, but how? in that case i thought, it need to be located on a network share. good idea is to add a script localy, that will run script from share and in future edit script from share. Our ifrastructure - Domain controller on win 2003 and active directory. user files stores localy on macs. Xserve is in domain, his job is to store updates and ARD.
