Apple ID prompt not suppressing in 10.9.2

[NowAllTheTime]

I've got a script that we run at imaging and then via policy at startup that disables the pre-login iCloud/Apple ID prompt. When I image a Mac via Casper Imaging with the public 10.9.2 release it reboots and goes to that prompt anyway and doesn't go into the temp adobe account to do the postflight tasks until you manually skip the prompt. My base image has already bypassed the prompt for the admin account, so it's fine there, but that's not were postflight happens. Is anyone else seeing this as well? I'm thinking I might have to recapture the base image after running my script against the user template.

I'm seeing this exact issue. Have set the keys listed here http://derflounder.wordpress.com/2013/10/27/disabling-the-icloud-sign-in-pop-up-message-on-lion-and-later/ to disable iCloud prompt in User Template. I've even imaged JUST the 10.9.2 and created a test user, iCloud prompt was disabled in test user. But when doing a full image the "temp adobe" account shows iCloud prompt.

Looking at /var/log/jamf.log I see that installs are still happening in the background. Will update once it's done.

Update. So the Jamf scripts completed and the system rebooted without ever accepting or rejecting the iCloud prompt. CS6 was installed as well as all my 3rd party apps.

Here's part of the log file…

It seems the iCloud prompt can be safely ignored. I think we're seeing this instead of the normal Jamf imaging screen.

Hi All,

Just checked how we've overcome this.

We modify the plist as per @rtrouton's post, but change the OS version to 10.9.9.

The package up the plist & deploy @ imaging using FEU/FUT's.

That way even the adobe install account has the setting when 1st logging in.

@bentoms,

I gave that a try. It doesn't work on initial login of the adobe install account. I assume the policy must execute after the iCloud prompt has already been loaded. It DOES work after a reboot. Thoughts?
