Hello JAMF,



Testing out OS X Yosemite and wanted to set Safari Managed Preferences. It worked on 10.9.5 but not on 10.10.2 or 10.10.3.



Local admin accounts:
New windows open with: Homepage
New tabs open with: Homepage
Homepage: doman.edu



Network users:
New windows open with: Favorites
New tabs open with: Favorites
Homepage: domain.edu



In the managed profile I have:



com.apple.Safari NewWindowBehavior = 0
com.apple.Safari NewTabBehavior = 0



0 = show home page



Is this an issue with Yosemite?



Edit:



as an added bonus, this doesn't work in 10.10.3.



Disable Saved State:



Level at which to apply the preference.
User-level-every-login



com.apple.loginwindow TALLogoutSavesState = 0

@Poseiden951 There are a few threads on this.



TL:DR User Level Managed Preferences don't work on Yoyo.


@bentoms



Sigh, that sucks. I'll just use default, I'll have to test it out tomorrow.



Set new Safari windows to open to homepage



defaults write com.apple.Safari NewWindowBehavior -int 0



Set new Safari tabs to open to homepage



defaults write com.apple.Safari NewTabBehavior -int 0



edit:



Borrowed from rtrouton, thanks rtrouton!



Disable the save window state at logout



/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.loginwindow 'TALLogoutSavesState' -bool false
