Hi again,

I have solved my previous issue - now just wondering if there is a json or plist file which I can use to force this highlighted setting to be toggled 'On' by default for all users by default.

 

I have looked in the general settings on the configuration profile and not been able to find anything related to this.

 

Many thanks again for any suggestions!

@lewissav That setting is stored as a per user setting in ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist as NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows key (turning on that option in the GUI sets the value for that key to false)

Here's the .plist to use for an Applications & Custom Settings payload in a User Level Configuration Profile for the .GlobalPreferences preferences domain

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows</key> <false/> </dict> </plist>

    Thank you so much.

    So the domain is simply com.apple.GlobalPreferences and then this should be set at user level?

    The domain should just be .GlobalPreferences, and yes, User Level
