Hello everyone,
I have a few machines in a lab environment where the primary iMac is attached to an external monitor. Once a new user logs into the machine, the external display automatically displays to the right of the primary iMac by default.
Has anyone determined a way to set the iMac to view the external display from the left of the machine instead? Thank you in advance.
Last year i used the tools hmscreens and cscreen for a similar setup (MacBook in dock with 2 external displays). I had succes with 1 external display but setting up a second screen was not very stable.
But you can checkout these tools. I'm not sure if they work with 10.13.x

Thank you @macbofh - I'll give the following a go!
I first tried with a config profile since I saw the file com.apple.windowserver.plist had an attribute for "DisplayLayoutToRight" true or false. That didn't seem to do anything. I'll try the hmscreen route.
Did you manage to find a solution to this?
We currently have 2 situations where this could be useful.
1. Conference room with a Mac mini using 2 displays. Would be perfect to apply the same display arrangement for every user.
2. Bring your own device to conference room. User plugs their Macbook to 2 displays using USB-C. Would be good to be able to set the display arrangement for all Macbook's within the company.
Any solutions out there?
