Set timezone and NTP
Hi,
The settings I would like to apply to my Netrestored instaDMG created image are:
#time zone
"Europe/Dublin"
#time server address
"time.euro.apple.com"
Since building an instaDMG is uncharted territory for me I am trying to keep all customizations as Netrestore post-scripts since it makes testing much faster, otherwise I have have to wait +2 hours for building a new instaDMG to test it, while using Netrestore post-scripts changes can be applied and tested almost instantly).
There may be a need to auto-bind these images to AD in the future, so the NTP time sync should occur before any AD script, login hook, or launchdaemon is executed.
If setting the timezone and NTP with a Netrestore post-script is not an option I will consider using a different option such as creating an Startup Item pkg, a LaunchDaemon pkg, a payload free pkg with a post-install script or other methods, etc.
I will really appreciate your views on this as well as any example scripts or .pkgs to accomplish changing the timezone and activating the NTP.
Many thanks,
Eric
