Issues with Login Window Text Enable

[fnieves433]

I keep getting a failed result with this setting. When enabled it installs properly but it cannot be detected. This is the result when the remediation script runs.

Looking at the log entry, it's showing (Result: , Expected:... It appears that it's not finding a value when it's performing the check. Can you double-check that there is a profile deployed to the system that has the LoginwindowText key is set in the com.apple.loginwindow domain? You can use sudo profiles -P -o stdout to review all of the profiles applied to the system.

Interesting, it looks like it's there. Do you happen to have another profile attempting to set that same key?

Do you get anything using this?

/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS
$.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.loginwindow')\
.objectForKey('LoginwindowText').js
EOS

[fnieves433]

I get no result when running that command

XXX@lXXX ~ % /usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS
$.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.loginwindow')
.objectForKey('LoginwindowText').js
EOS
XXXX@XXX

sorry I am trying to include a screenshot but I am having issues uploading.

We have seen strange behavior when there are special characters, particularly quotes, in the banner text. I don't know for sure if this is what you are running into, but maybe try to deploy a profile with more simple text... just as a test. Question.. with this current profile, do you see the text at the loginwindow screen?

[fnieves433]

removing the special characters !!! resolved the issue thank you!

It does apply the text correctly,  Yahoo Mail: Search, Organize, Conquer On Thu, Mar 28, 2024 at 5:07 PM, Dan ***@***.***> wrote: We have seen strange behavior when there are special characters, particularly quotes, in the banner text.
