[Casper] Issues with Time machine script.

[Ernst, Craig S.]

I have this setting as part of a package that has all the user settings we change that is deployed at imaging time with Fill User Templates. Running it at logon should be another way to tackle this as Criss suggests.

It is not.  it is currently setup to run after a machine is imaged.  Now that I write this out that logic seems rather flawed....

seems at login and once per user would be the right way to set that up.

First off, hello all.  Casper n00b here.


I have a script that is supposed to set a defaults write for that annoying time machine message whenever you plug in a drive.  it does not seem to be working for me when it is deployed with an image.  does it have to go as a separate login/logout policy instead?  Find the text of the script below.



#!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/defaults write /Network/Servers/student.thayer.org/Volumes/STUHOMEDIR/STUDENTHOME/$3/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine DoNotOfferNewDisksForBackup -bool yes

/usr/bin/defaults write /Network/Servers/faculty.thayer.org/Volumes/FACHOMEDIR/FACULTYHOME/$3/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine DoNotOfferNewDisksForBackup -bool yes

/usr/bin/defaults write /Users/$3/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine DoNotOfferNewDisksForBackup -bool yes

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
