This post seems to work:

https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=8041#responseChild85383

Saved as a .mobileconfig file, and applied at computer level.

Just be aware that com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist may just be for the Apple Mighty Mouse. I think these are the other plists to look out for in case you have to deal with Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse:

com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse
com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.trackpad
com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse

These are the commands to change it:
defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse MouseButtonMode -string TwoButton
defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.trackpad TrackpadRightClick -int 1
defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse Button2 -int 2

Then just take that plist and convert it to a config profile using MCXtoProfile.

There may be more if you're dealing with laptops. And then you have the new Retina MacBook which may have a different plist for the Force Touchpad.

Thanks!

Apart from 3rd party mice (which 'just work' with right click), we only have Mighty Mouse.

In case its of any use, here's our config profile that makes sure right click is enabled on mice and trackpads.

Hi @davidacland

Do I apply the config profile at a computer or a user level? Do I scope computers or users?

I'm finding that it's not working consistently.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Hi,

I normally scope at computer level to specific computers. What are the cases where it's not working? Is the profile not deploying or is it just not taking effect?

Ok, maybe it is working. I just keep coming across Macs where right click isn't behaving as expected...

Ok, so it's still not working. The profile appears on the Mac correctly, and even on the mouse preference pane it shows the second button as secondary click. But right click is still not working! If you manually change the second button on and off secondary click, it then works as expected.

I found this too, after a logout / login it works fine though

@timlings Did you ever get this working?

I could not get it to work either. I tried at computer level and user level. Like @timlings is saying, it shows up perfectly in the System Preferences but it does not work as expected.

I tried all other options that were offered on the forum, none are working. We are running on OS X El Capitan 10.11.4

Did anyone ever get this working?

My installations don't even appear to have the same plist files, unless I'm missing something.

Running 10.11.

Edit: Just tried this fix, and it did not work either: https://github.com/amsysuk/public_config_profiles/blob/master/First_Boot_Profiles/EnableRightClick.mobileconfig
I'm assuming the plist's are different, however I cannot locate them.

any updates in this with 10.11?

@timlings Good afternoon,

I guess I'm missing something I haven't done this yet with Casper. Where is this applied at in Casper? I created the file but do not know how to proceed. Thank you in advance.

Have a very great day today @timlings !

I'm use left click + control
