Hi all,

I am currently facing a challenge and would appreciate your assistance. I am trying to identify which clients have iCloud Drive activated, specifically with synchronization of desktop and documents.

I have conducted extensive research online and within this forum, but it appears that the solutions provided are not applicable to the newer versions of macOS.

Could anyone provide guidance or suggest a method that would be effective for the latest macOS versions (Ventura, Sonoma)?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

not my code.. but.. used as an EA along with others..

Thanks, but something is not working properly with this script. The result for all systems is the same "iCloud Account Disabled" which is not correct
