erase-install credentials wrong keyboard layout?

If you run the script as a Root user, it will use the keyboard layout of that user. This might be what is happening in this instance.

You can get around it with using sudo -u as the currently logged-in user. Hope that helps!

I found this, but not sure how I can fix it?! https://github.com/grahampugh/erase-install/issues/563

I have a policy that includes the erase-install.pkg and a script erase-install-launcher with Parameter Values. I am not a super duper mac-admin yet, maybe you can help me where I can check this what you wrote?

Thanks a lot!

No worries! When you run a script within a policy, it will always execute that script as the “Root” user. The Root user has all the privileges to do whatever he wants on the users' system. But in this case we want to assume control of the logged-in user instead. 

You can fetch the current user with something like this: 

LoggedInUser=$( echo "show State:/Users/ConsoleUser" | scutil | awk '/Name :/ { print $3 }' )

Then run the command as that user by using the variable: 

sudo -u "$LoggedInUser"
