Disable shake to locate pointer in JSS?

[m_higgins]

Has anyone figured out a way to disable this feature which is on by default?

Looks like it is in the .GlobalPreferences, you can run this command however it does not take immediate affect unless you logout/reboot.

defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences CGDisableCursorLocationMagnification -bool YES

defaults read ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist CGDisableCursorLocationMagnification

It's inverted (is disabled), so NO is checked and YES is unchecked.

EDIT: Oops. Sorry, late to the party.

I might at this if you are looking to do a mass rollout:

#!/bin/sh

#Set arguements for script
loggedInUser=""

#Writes current user that is logged-in into terminal
loggedInUser=`/bin/ls -l /dev/console | /usr/bin/awk '{ print $3 }'`

#Use sleep if you are using login trigger, due to login time differences can cause false users
#sleep 2

#Settings Cursor Magnification to off
su -l "$loggedInUser" -c "defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist CGDisableCursorLocationMagnification -bool YES"

#Checking Cursor Magnification and reporting to Casper logs
su -l "$loggedInUser" -c "defaults read ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist CGDisableCursorLocationMagnification"
