User Templet

I have created a bunch of plist that are part of my user templet in Lion. Would it be possible to use the same plist files with mountain lion? They basically setup safari, finder, doc and a few other basic stuff.

I was able to re-use our User Template from 10.7 for 10.8 with just a few modifications. I grabbed 10.8 copies of the finder, sidebar and .GlobalPrefs files and ran this command to disable the iCloud pop-up:

defaults write /System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SetupAssistant.plist LastSeenCloudProductVersion -string 10.8

I alrady have a plist that I created in 10.7 that did this. Also should this be done as root?

The 10.7 plist still needs to be modified in this way because there's a newer version of the iCloud pop up in 10.8, so by running this you're setting it as though it's been run on 10.8 as well. And yes, you'll have to do it as root.
