Hi,
I was in MacOS 10.13.6 and since I updated to Mojave, everything works exept when I create a new account (AD or Local), I have this message : "OS X needs to repair your Library to run applications. Type an Administrator's name and password to allow this".
And when I look the user folder's permissions, I can see "Root" is owner and no user.
is it a "User template" issue ?
I have to upgrade 1400 computers, how can I resolve this ?
Thank you for your help
@SGill are you still managing bookmarks in Safari in Mojave? I'd really like to not have to script to install for every user.
I still manage them for Safari on ethernet connected devices, but the issue described above really only becomes a problem (in my environment at least) on about 10% of laptops that are creating a new AD profile directly over wireless. Even an empty User Template folder (with only contents put there by Apple) on a laptop not connected to ethernet, will have the same occasional failure rate and the same error message (Library needs repair...). Currently my fleet is 5% Mojave 90% HS, 5% Sierra where I'm seeing these results.
I've got the same issue and I believe it's related to our engineers pushing out Safari bookmarks but I want to find out how I can prove it's the bookmarks which is borking up the permissions.
@khurram was correct! https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203538 100% works like a charm!
