Does not seem to work in 10.14.1 with T2 Chip installed #25

Hi all,

Have been using this script for ages - but does not seem to work on the new MacBook Air's with 10.14.1 preinstalled and T2 chip. The script runs with no errors, but no user is created? Tested on my old MacBook Air with 10.14.1 - and it just works. Hmmm? Anyone? Thanks

So far, it only failed on the latest MacBook Air with 10.14.1. Anyone to test? Thanks

jelockwood commented 5 years ago

I have a DeployStudio workflow working to first install a factory fresh Mojave 10.14.1 install, then a second workflow which creates a local admin from a pkg created using this script and then runs further steps to configure the system.

This works fine for me on a MacBook Pro 2018 and a Mac mini late 2018 but I don't have any MacBook Air late 2018 models.

Due to the way DeployStudio works, the install of the pkg to create the user is being run in single-user mode and hence gets unlimited access i.e. root with no SIP. If your running it some other way maybe SIP is blocking you.

@thomasm2film Have you looked at /var/log/install.log for clues? Definitely works on other Macs with T2 chips under 10.14.1...

Thanks Greg - I don't see any apparent errors?

I'm having the same issue. Macbook Air with 10.14.1, no errors at all in the log. Thought it could have been due to a wacky password, but even a basic one doesn't seem to stick.

gregneagle commented 5 years ago

I don't have a 2018 MacBook Air, so I cannot reproduce (or address) this issue. Sorry! If anyone else figures it out, please let me know.

Does the account plist not get created at all? Those of you experiencing this issue will need to do a lot more investigation and data collection...

hewisaurus commented 5 years ago

It seems as if my issue was the fact that the UID had been used already when I thought it was available. I didn't see anything in the log, but changing one parameter at a time pointed out where the wrong value was.

gregneagle commented 5 years ago

See the second paragraph in the README.

thomasm2film commented 5 years ago

I will check the machine again. Tried creating a 502 and a 600 UID admin user - both fail. But not sure which UID is guaranteed to be available? Thanks

KirkMartinez commented 5 years ago

I had a similar problem on a late 2018 Mac Mini (with T2 chip) when SIP was enabled (default). The user plist file was not where it needs to be. I disabled it and reimaged (imagr startosinstall flow) and the user was created fine.

gregneagle commented 5 years ago

Closing this old issue.
