Thanks for the tip, ended up using the MAC address.

For anyone interested, here’s the command to fetch it in a useable format:

/sbin/ifconfig en0 | awk ‘/ether/ { gsub(“:”, “”); print $2 }’

Found it!

Works well, Mail is now auto configured 🙂

Bump.

I saw an article somewhere documenting how to replicate this behaviour on an OD in advanced mode, but I can’t for the life of me find that article!

Anybody done this before?

[trondah]

Bump.

It seems the user template is created from the default template (i.e. /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj) on the server specified to host home directories.

Any way to change which is default though, and perhaps on a user/group basis? Would be very helpful in places where you have people from different countries.

Try naming your folders 01 02 03 and not 01-foo 02-bar 03-baz.

I’ve now successfully regionalized our image based on alantrewartha’s recipe. Thanks ALOT!

Wish there was a wiki somewhere with a compilation of image customization tips. There’s so much stuff you can do with OSX that’s not documented.

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: Giobbi[/u][p]Great!

Many thanks for the example guys.

Tron:
Do this in terminal; defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.HIToolbox

You will see all info regarding this.[/p][/QUOTE]

That didn’t exist, but found it in ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost 🙂

How do I know the ID of my keyboard layout? I want to set it to Norwegian. Thanks!

I can’t seem to get localization right, very little information is available on this. Do you have success with changing those variables in the system wide .GlobalPreferences?

[trondah]

Did you find a way to do this? I’m looking to do the same thing, can’t find any information on how to change localization.
