do you have a killall cfprefsd somewhere in your script after all of the settings?

@nessts
Hi nes
Yes does, still not work
I gonna be crazy i already dig out this problem 7 hours

Problem solved just the value error in the script

@kenho794 - can you explain your fix. I've been looking to do the same thing. Would love to use your script with a launch daemon to keep it going.

@pblake The only syntax error I spot in the script is the use of

defaults reads

should be

defaults read

towards the end of @kenho794 script. Not sure what he meant by "value error". Is the rest of the community finding that you have to put a script like this into a Launch Agent/Daemon in order for it to stick? Are Configuration Profiles not enforcing the screen saver reliably?

Hi @pblake @ssrussell
That is the whole script for the select photo model screen saver

#!/bin/sh
curuser=ls -l /dev/console | cut -d " " -f 4
if [[ ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c27-50 != "00000000-0000-1000-8000-" ]]; then macUUID=ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -i "UUID" | cut -c27-62
fi
