High Sierra iclould login pop for existing users

[tcandela]

I have used the script below to suppress the icloud and diagnostic popup for new and existing users from 10.10 to 10.12, but now with 10.13 it is not working to suppress the icloud popup for existing users. It will suppress the diagnostics for existing users and new users.

here is that script. i don't see what could have changed that would allow existing users to get the icloud login screen.

#!/bin/bash

# Initial setup script for Mac OS X 10.10.x
# https://github.com/rtrouton/rtrouton_scripts/blob/master/rtrouton_scripts/first_boot/10.10/first_boot.sh

# Determine OS version and build version
# as part of the following actions to disable
# the iCloud and Diagnostic pop-up windows

osvers=$(sw_vers -productVersion | awk -F. '{print $2}')
sw_vers=$(sw_vers -productVersion)
sw_build=$(sw_vers -buildVersion)


# Checks first to see if the Mac is running 10.7.0 or higher. 
# If so, the script checks the system default user template
# for the presence of the Library/Preferences directory.
#
# If the directory is not found, it is created and then the
# iCloud and Diagnostic pop-up settings are set to be disabled.

if [[ ${osvers} -ge 7 ]]; then

@tcandela

I think it has to do with High Sierra might have more Setup pages and these new ones are not in the script such as:

DidSeeApplePaySetup, DidSeeiCloudLoginForStorageServices, DidSeeSyncSetup,

See screen shot attached of my plist

@bwiessner this is what i have in the script, looks like it's all there. Should i set them all to. -bool true ?
