    I have used a procedure similar to this:

    I found that I also needed to delete the contents of the Keychain folder from the English.lproj library, but NOT the folder itself to keep from having keychain issues, particularly with Chrome.

     

    All our students use the guest account and just log in to their Google account in Chrome once in.  It has saved us a ton of headaches. 

     

    One caveat is that anytime you make a local account now, it will get whatever you set up in this procedure.  Which actually is usually better anyway.

     

    Hope this helps.
