Passing Out File to Users’ Home Directories

[Dave Hagan]

If I wanted to copy out a preference file, for example, to every user’s home folder (one that cannot be managed with W.M.) how would I go about doing that? Is there a quick shareware/freeware app that would make this easier?

I’m thinking specifically of copying out the Microsoft Office preferences folder to every user’s Library/Preferences folder.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide!

No one??? 😐

They are network home directories.

The best method (of course) would be to have the computer use the local preferences set by the administrator…but OS X and particularly Office doesn’t work that way 🙁

That’s what I want to do, and I don’t know how to do it.

OK, will that set the correct permissions too? How would I set the correct home folder permissions for users ?
