CUT-4138 - Update Rename Local Username macOS Scripts
What does this solve?
This change updates the series of commands issued to restart a device after changing a local username. Depending on how the script was run, the previous version might not execute correctly. This version of the script can be executed through a JumpCloud command. The command will finish and show an exit code of 0 assuming all other changes were successful.
Is there anything particularly tricky?
NA
How should this be tested?
Create a macOS command in JumpCloud upload this script to the script file contents.
Setup a macOS device with some local account with an account name like localUser
set the command body to change the account name localuser to 'newlocaluser`
Execute the command on that device with the localUser account.
The command should complete with an exit 0 status and should have changed the username of the localUser account to be newLocalUser. The computer should restart after 1 min. When logging in as the new user, the account should look the exact same as before the rename.
