Hi,



Usually i can manage myself to find solutions to any demands we have, but i have been knocking my head with this one... looks like there is something i don't see....



we have 500 mac computers and (unfortunately) our Communications Dept. changed the College web site address, and now i need to change that default value on all mac computers, labs and administrative ones...



Been reading all posts here and on the web and looks like really hard now changing that value for Safari, and i did not even took a look at others like chrome yet...



But if i could manage to find that solution for Safari at least... would be great...



Need to change that value in the template section, which we already have our custom template when we image computers... but changing that value makes the template unusable....



Need also to change that value for all users profiles in computers already created....



Tried many solutions... nothing works...



any little help ?

@ScottVV just re-did it again still nothing



Anything else I can try?



@ScottVV managed to figure it out



Upon checking Safari preferences, it was set to 'New Windows open with: favourites'
But the homepage was there.



So I ran the following in terminal "defaults write ~/Desktop/com.apple.Safari NewWindowBehavior -int 0"
Then plutil -convert xml1 ~/Desktop/com.apple.Safari.plist



Uploaded into Jamf, tested on 2 machines and its all good



Thanks for all your help and reaching out to me
