Hi I am currently been testing High Sierra and only have one issue left to get working.
I am using the script below fine on Sierra and its working and applying fine.
But under High Sierra its running but not working, and as i can tell not creating the com.apple.SetupAssistant.plist files and amendments.
The output result from the script is :
Script exit code: 0
Script result: chown: Deleted Users: illegal user name
Am abit above my coding level to work out what they have changed in High Sierra to stop this working.
Thanks to all for any help and i think the script came from @rtrouton originally, but has been modified slightly for High Sierra
Cheers

Sorted now it was due to an account being deleted and then Backed up to a folder called Deleted Users in the Users folder.
We have changed this now than any deleted users go into /Users/DeletedUsers and the error has now resolved so must have issues with spaces in usernames in that folder.
