User Temp

[j99mac]

I am working on creating a user setting and adding them to User Templets. I am working with 10.8.2 when I add the finder.plist that has disable fast user switching and then test login in I find fast user switching to not disabled. How can I make sure my User Templet has user fast user switching disabled

That setting isn't stored in the Finder.plist, pretty sure. Its in the root /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist. At least in our setup that's where we set disabling Fast User Switching.

Look in that file using the defaults command from Terminal to see if a setting called "MultipleSessionEnabled" shows up. Should be set to a value of 1 for disabled.

defaults read /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences

Also look at Managed Preferences in your JSS. If its enabled and you're using them, there's a template for it you can just add in, set your value (1 for example), and apply to all your managed clients.

After I created my user templet and have all setting in the user/templets folder I loged in as a test user and the user/templet setting do not show up and the last time I tested I had a blank user folder. What is the trick to get user/templet work in mountain lion? I am looking to set finder, sidebar and dock as well as a few other settings.
