Hi

I’m trying to put the finishing touches to my post install script and am having issues setting the nearest city

Using the following:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences com.apple.TimeZonePref.Last_Selected_City -array 55.950001 -3.216667 11 Europe/London GB Edinburgh Scotland Edinburgh Scotland

The command above writes to global preferences, but the system does not pick up the change.
On reboot the .GlobalPreferences.plist is set back to it previous state
Are the City settings stored elsewhere ?

I need to set the city as we have had issues with some Adobe Software that would not work when Cardiff (the default city for systemsetup -settimezone Europe/London) is selected.

Thanks

If you’re using a postflight script in CustomPKG, you’re going to need to tell defaults to write to the package’s target disk instead of the boot disk:[code]sudo defaults write “$3″/Library/Preferences/etc/etc/etc[/code]- Patrick
