Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to change/set the homepage using a terminal command for browsers: safari and chrome?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

What comes to my mind is to send an UNIX command to the clients with the following contents:
defaults write com.apple.Safari HomePage 'http://example.com'Can you implement that ?
Easier to do just going to Preferences for each browser 😉
Safari>Preferences> General
Is this for some remote application?
Just for completeness… Chrome > Preferences.

Sorry, I didn't notice the reference to 200 computers. Personally, I don't know of such a command. Perhaps someone may know of a way using Apple Script or Automator.
Just curious, did you test the command? Isn't working for me.
Ya I tried that command and it's not working for me. I did some more research and it seems that the OS will also store it in the keychain for cloud access. I'm still looking...
Use Profile Manager to generate a user-level setting & use your management tool of choice to push out the profiles.
You can get some more ideas here:
Pushing a profile is not an option as I am already using a profile for MDM. I cannot use two. We are using Meraki and it's not available there!!!
change homepage using terminal (safari & chrome)
