If you run the script “after”, you’re running it on the utility drive you're booted to during the imaging process. “At reboot” will add your script to the Casper first run script which will be executed the first time you boot the newly imaged system.

This will put the setting in the /Library folder, which is applied to all users.<BR>

Hope this helps.<BR>

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.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
#!/bin/sh<BR>
<BR>
/usr/bin/defaults write /Network/Servers/student.thayer.org/Volumes/STUHOMEDIR/STUDENTHOME/$3/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine DoNotOfferNewDisksForBackup -bool yes<BR>
<BR>
/usr/bin/defaults write /Network/Servers/faculty.thayer.org/Volumes/FACHOMEDIR/FACULTYHOME/$3/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine DoNotOfferNewDisksForBackup -bool yes<BR>
<BR>
/usr/bin/defaults write /Users/$3/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine DoNotOfferNewDisksForBackup -bool yes<BR>

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