I might at this if you are looking to do a mass rollout:
#!/bin/sh
#Set arguements for script
loggedInUser=""
#Writes current user that is logged-in into terminal
loggedInUser=`/bin/ls -l /dev/console | /usr/bin/awk '{ print $3 }'`
#Use sleep if you are using login trigger, due to login time differences can cause false users
#sleep 2
#Settings Cursor Magnification to off
su -l "$loggedInUser" -c "defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist CGDisableCursorLocationMagnification -bool YES"
#Checking Cursor Magnification and reporting to Casper logs
su -l "$loggedInUser" -c "defaults read ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist CGDisableCursorLocationMagnification"
+7Looks like it is in the .GlobalPreferences, you can run this command however it does not take immediate affect unless you logout/reboot.
defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences CGDisableCursorLocationMagnification -bool YES
+15defaults read ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist CGDisableCursorLocationMagnificationIt's inverted (is disabled), so NO is checked and YES is unchecked.
EDIT: Oops. Sorry, late to the party.
