Q: default profile broken

Hello All

 

I use the below script to create a default profile in our school, this ensures the settings are as the teachers desire and the can jump into there classes.. now on osx 10.11.x the download folder link on the dock point to the original profile (being the admin), with that they get an access denied and see the red dash, but if they open in finder it goes to there own directory, but instructors do not like the extra steps. any ideas on solutions?

 

 

Copy Admin to user Template

rm -rf /Users/Admin/Library/Keychains/login.keychain

rm -rf /Admin/Library/Caches/*

rm -rf /Admin/Library/Preferences/SDMHelpData

rm -rf /Admin/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/*

cd /System/Library/User\ Template/

sudo ditto -rsrcFork English.lproj/* English.lproj.bak

sudo rm -rf /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj/*

sudo cp -R /Users/admin/* /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj/

sudo chmod 777 /Users/Shared

 

Any assistance is appreciated

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

    update the red dash on the downloads folder is actually nothing, as if i drop anything in it is usable

    but if i open a doc form a network drive, then save as i see it points me at the admin Desktop or documents, which if i select it just reverts back to the network drive
