As I understand things, the DEP process with Casper doesn't truly start until an initial user login. While this will be nice to have for the future, I'm not sure if 1) i'm wrong on this and 2) how useful it'll be. However my workflows have always involved being over the loginwindow, so I support this request :)

Hi Richard!

The DEP process start after the user has been asked his AD login/password. If the user wait too long, CasperSplash would start at this stage (as _mbsetupuser). I'm not 100% confident as I haven't tested this properly. It would be interesting to ask Apple the specifics.

Launching at loginwindow is for another use case. I created this ER too soon. It is for the next idea, when we restart the computer and want CasperSplash to resume.

This is what's needed, thanks @kylecrawshaw I closed the PR as codebase changed too much

This would help my workflow quite a bit. We want to make sure user names match their AD name, so we create them automatically. After the Setup Assistant our workflow goes to the login window. Currently they have to sign in as a common user first so our policies can run..

I need this in my workflow where we provision our Macs before giving them to the end user and creating the local account is part of the provisioning process. I'd prefer not to require my techs to login with their AD credentials
