How would i go about making an automator script to auto connect to a server on startup? the program confuses me :confused:

For us to help you, we are going to need more information than that. What server are you connecting to? Is it a remote connection? SMB (File sharing) connection?

Assuming it's a SMB/CIFS share, in AppleScript Editor:

tell application "Finder"
mount volume "smb://username

assword@server/sharename"
end tell

Compile, Run to test and then Save as an Application and put it in your Login Items.

Exactly.
