By default, after you use the Setup Assistant to initially set up a Mac, it will not run again. Instead, Apple provides you with the Migration Assistant to transfer data from your old device.


If your goal is to "start from scratch" and rerun the Setup Assistant, then you will have to perform a few "workaround" steps. Is this what you really want?


Maybe if you can provide us what types of "informational errors" you are concerned about, we can avoid having to use this workaround.
