Enterprise Connect 1.9 (9): "prepopulatedUsername"

Leveraging a new feature of Enterprise Connect 1.9 (9), "prepopulatedUsername", started out as entering a string of code in a policy's Files and Processes > Execute Command field:

/usr/bin/defaults write /Users/`/usr/bin/stat -f%Su /dev/console`/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Enterprise-Connect.plist prepopulatedUsername -string `/usr/bin/stat -f%Su /dev/console` ; /bin/sleep 2 ; /usr/sbin/chown `/usr/bin/stat -f%Su /dev/console` /Users/`/usr/bin/stat -f%Su /dev/console`/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Enterprise-Connect.plist ; /bin/sleep 2 ; /bin/ln -s /Applications/Enterprise Connect.app/Contents/SharedSupport/eccl /usr/local/bin/eccl ; /bin/sleep 2 ; /usr/bin/su - "`/usr/bin/stat -f%Su /dev/console`" -c "/usr/bin/open '/Applications/Enterprise Connect.app'"

As the string of code became longer and more complex, it warranted its own script.

Set Parameter 4 to "yes" to launch Enterprise Connect after its configured.
