Hi guys,
Had a quick look, but I couldn't find a similar post.
Just trying out 10.9 on a test Mac now, and the MCX I have in place to set the desktop background isn't working. It's being applied, as I can see the ImageFilePath in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop is pointing to the right image, and the image is present and accessible. Has the preference name changed in 10.9? Any clues?
Other MCX settings seems to be applying correctly; Safari homepage, icons on desktop, etc.
Solved! Go to Solution.

It's silly to be sure, but remember we're still under Mavericks NDA. Hopefully it's released tomorrow or later in the week.

Ah thanks, I was just looking and I couldn't find it.
Edit: Goddamn it, that's a little less than appealing.

Desktop background is no longer stored in a plist file, but in an SQLite database:
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Dock/desktoppicture.db
I don't know if Casper v9 addresses this (haven't upgraded yet, holding out for now) but it looks like this has to be scripted now, instead of a managed preference. It's possible that a config profile can do this just fine however.
