Looking for JSON/ Plist to force a setting

[lewissav]

Hi again,

I have solved my previous issue - now just wondering if there is a json or plist file which I can use to force this highlighted setting to be toggled 'On' by default for all users by default.

I have looked in the general settings on the configuration profile and not been able to find anything related to this.

Many thanks again for any suggestions!

@lewissav That setting is stored as a per user setting in ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist as NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows key (turning on that option in the GUI sets the value for that key to false)

Here's the .plist to use for an Applications & Custom Settings payload in a User Level Configuration Profile for the .GlobalPreferences preferences domain

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows</key>
	<false/>
</dict>
</plist>

Thank you so much.

So the domain is simply com.apple.GlobalPreferences and then this should be set at user level?

The domain should just be .GlobalPreferences, and yes, User Level
