You will want to push a config profile with this setting:

This assumes you have MDM enabled or a workflow for using configuration profiles.

This Was Driving me Crazy, I've been filing through settings like you wouldn't believe. Thank you, checking out now

It skipped that during initial setup & logged in & then it went back to the cloud 'Sign in with Your Apple ID' screen again... any other possible solutions?!

I think that profile works on 10.11+?

@Hugonaut 10.10.5.. now? 10.13 was released this month. Can I ask why so far behind?

@bentoms Thanks for clarifying that! Still cant figure this out -_-

I work at a school and we've been using macs for quite some time now, dating back to leopard. All students get macbooks, we have macbook pros from 2011 in use, as well as 2015 macbook airs. We are staying behind due to some hardware/software compatibility issues. (We do have Sierra & High Sierra machines for the staff though)

looking forward to getting everyone on el cap though! just a matter of time

for the record figured it out if anyone comes across this,

used this shell script - https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2014/10/16/disabling-the-icloud-and-diagnostics-pop-up-windows-in-yosemite/

created a plist, put it in launch daemons and had it call on the derflounder script.

Then update runs, installs, boots, no diagnostics.

Miss you!
