Hi,
was wondering if one could easily standardise settings across numerous computers AND across numerous users using AppleScript. Some parameters even differ if it’s an iMac or MBP. I guess I’d like a series of setting variables, but also getting certain infos (either a popup of in text file)
Here are some examples as I’m trying to see if it’s even worth starting.
Any feedback would be appreciated
Regards
Holger
ex System Preferences Trackpad (ie for MBP)
Scroll directions natural (uncheck)
setting Trackpad secondary click = click on right side
similarly System Preferences Mouse (for iMac)
setting Mouse secondary click = click on right side
set Dock Size
turn off Doc magnification
… the above should be looped for all users
list the computer name in Sharing (i.e. iMac 2012)
list all the users (i.e. user1, user2)
list the “manually configured” IP address for Ethernet in Network (ie. 192.168.1.100)
setting energy saver times i.e. 15 mins
Note: is IP address and energy saving stored for each user? or my computer? How can one tell?
It seems I set the fixed IP address once but the entry and dock settings seem to be by user
In finder:
set Show Tab
set Show Path
set Show Status
in finder preferences
set show Hard Disk on desktop

set Show all filename extensions
In the dock for Downloads:
