Delete User Data at Logout
That sounds good! Is this the project?
-
Basic MDM requirements but Moysle is unsuable
Some of my machines are shared (like a lab environment) and I use outset to run a script on every login that resets the dock to the expected state. There are conditionals in there that check to see if the app is installed before trying to place the icon on the dock, so you don't end up with the ? icon.
- Is Outset still compatible with MacOS 12.3+?
-
Customized Dock For Labs
Another option is to have Dockmaster create a package instead of a profile and install it at each user's first login with Outset. This gives the user the flexibility to modify the dock.
-
Prevent user account from changing Icons picture
If it's templates in a shared folder, just reinstall the whole thing nightly (or after each user) with MDM or use outset to reinstall it locally at login.
-
Can you recommend an RMM solution that handles user profile settings?
Anything that isn't able to be achieved via config profiles, will need to scripted (see Outset https://github.com/chilcote/outset which is super useful for this). Take a look at https://macadmins.software/tools/ 'MailToOutlook 2.0') for your default email item.
-
Script to check if the user is logged in after enrollment
Possibly outset can be of service?
-
macOS equivalent of c:\Users\Public\Desktop?
There is no equivalent on macos, but you could install your shared files somewhere like /opt/company/shared and use outset to copy them into each users home the next time they log in.
- Run login script at login as the user logging in? ( Mosyle )

PSA: Monterey 12.3 update breaks Mac-Set-Default-Apps. I'm guessing it's the removal of Python 2.7
We use Mac-Set-Default-Apps script to set Adobe Reader as default PDF viewer, Chrome as default browser, and Outlook as default mail and calendar clients via a custom script in Mosyle MDM.

macOS Monterey 12.3 Update is now Available - Python 2.7 Removed & Universal Control Added!
PSA: This breaks Mac-Set-Default-Apps.
