Thread: Putting Username on Desktop or Menu Bar

Where in workgroup manager would I put: defaults write /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences MultipleSessionEnabled -bool YES I am not a WGM expert. I use it for basic management. Will the script above achieve what I need?

You need to set the preference for all your users within Workgroup Manager. The preference command is: Code: defaults write /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences MultipleSessionEnabled -bool YES You can use Workgroup Manager to set this preference for all users in the group.

System Preference > Accounts > Login Options Click the check box that says "Show fast user switching menus as: " and select "Name". im on 10.6, should not be that different if you'r on older versions of OS X.

you don't put that command into WGM, you use the managedclient.app in WGM. Then add that line in there after loading that plist file. A lot like this hint I posted on time machine... http://www.macosxhints.com/article.p...80801104313882
