Yosemite - Sign In With Apple ID prompt

[Wolverine-911]

We're trialling a Yosemite deployment at the moment but one thing that keeps coming up is the Sign In With Apple ID prompt each time an AD user logs on. Once Person A has logged on and ignored this prompt, it never comes back regardless of which mac Peron A uses. If a new user, Person B, logs on for the first time, this prompt comes up even if Person A has already been on that specific mac and skipped this prompt. Once skipped it never appears for Person B again but will happen for Person C, D E etc.

 

We know we can leave it and hopefully students will just skip but there must be a way to just make the prompt not appear in the first place. Does anyone know how we could achieve this please?

Hi, You can do it with a preference file although I'm not entirely sure which one. We had this issue at first and it also occurred in Mavericks 10.9. I think I was uploading preferences to profile manager for an unrelated issue and it happened to solve it.

We solved this a different way in the end. The script didn't work at all, probably due to roaming network user accounts and nothing being saved on the local iMac. WGM was not an option as we have a Yosemite server.

 

What we did was log on as root, skip the setup and then copy the com.apple.SetupAssistant file to the User Template folder. Now, any user that logs on does not get the prompt at all.

 

One possible side effect was that from the image captured from this iMac, Profile Manager now thinks each iMac is the same as the one that was used to capture the image. It's a very minor problem as we manually enroll into PM anyway and we just have to click a different button, but it's frustrating that I don't know precisely why it's doing that.

 

Thanks for those that tried to help.
