This further leads me to believe that the problem is being caused by the app writing the file. I have spoken with other colleagues at work verified that their ist files all have the same creation and modification date/time, leading me to believe that no app just adds itself to the file by appending, but actually re-creates the file entirely. I am interested to know if any of you had installed an application (or added an application to the login items via the app's own preferences) at the time that your ist reports as its creation/modification date/time.

I did a TM backup both before and after the install (as always when installing something new) for good measure. I checked the creation and modification dates of those apps, and they reported 16:29 as well for both. Interestingly enough, I installed Apple's Server Admin Tools yesterday, too. I looked at the creation and modification date/time of my ist file and it was yesterday at 16:29 for both. I have read this discussion in the past out of interest, but have never had the problem until today. The preference is not read or respected on login, but is updated by the system to reflect changes in ist. I conclude that the preference that Accounts > Login Items reads and obeys is the pref called 'ist'. So I go into System Prefs, login items and remove Acrobat and save. I unlock, and after a while, it becomes modified with Acrobat added. Restored this from my TM backup, reboot - and voila! all my login items marching back on the menu bar!ДЄnd just to prove the point, I went to System prefs > Accounts > login items and added Acrobat Reader again, and this ist is the one that got modified! Reboot, login, and Acrobat launches. I found it: it's just called ist - no com or apple, alphabetical under L in my prefs folder. Added Acrobat Reader, saved, reboot, login - Reader launches on login.Д¬hecked my Prefs folder - both the plist files are still locked and unchanged from the TM restore! so I figure there has to be another pref file somewhere that's being read. So I opened System Prefs > Account login items, and cleared it completely. From my Time Machine backup I restored the and into my User's Preference folder, locked both files, and rebooted. So I decided to take what's written here and investigate further. Thanks.It just happened to me this morning after a normal startup, no mods, nothing.

My guess is it's just broken and we'll have to wait for the next update for a fix, but if you got any ideas, let me know. To learn more, see our tips on writing great answers. Making statements based on opinion back them up with references or personal experience. Don't know if it's just coincide yet or not, but that seems to allow the passive log in work each time (so far) regardless of the OU it's in and the GP's applied. Asking for help, clarification, or responding to other answers. Then next for poo poos and ha has I turned off the UAC. But then that started working on and off and I tried testing every policy setting to figure out what may fix it, to no avail. So I thought, oh there is a policy causing it. At first I tried moving the workstation to another OU in AD with different policies, and then it worked. Now, the funny thing is this doesn't happen 100% of the time. I am able to log in via the Z Icon and then everything seems to work okay. Workstation logs in fine, agent says not logged in, no user applied bundles show. (Didn't notice if 10.2.1 had the same issue or not). I have an AD user source, workstation is in AD with GP applied from there. Wondering if anyone has figured anything out or is it just broken? I've been futzing around with this issue for the past couple of days.
