Hi,
Really hope someone might have some pointers for me here, I'm really struggling to understand why this problem is occurring!
I've built a MacBook Air up so it's ready for me to take an image that I can then deploy to other Air's in use at work, but have run into a very odd problem. I added all software and configured the device as I wanted, and everything was working perfectly, with machine idling at 99% when logged in with a domain account.
Then I backed up and removed the default user profile, then copied in a replacement that I had configured to how I wanted it to look for all users. When I then logged back in to test, I find that all of a sudden the 'launchd' process is now running at at least 40% of the CPU, despite the fact that the Air is doing nothing. This causes the fan to ramp up within a couple of mins as well, so not what I want at all!
Logging on with a previously created local account, or switching back to the backed up standard default profile eradicates the problem, so I don't think it's a piece of software that's at fault, but I need to present a custom profile for all new users, and this works fine on the Mac Pros that I have done the same for.
This is the process I followed to replace default profile, which as I say works fine for me on Mac Pros:
Logged on as root:
sudo su
rm -rf /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj/*
cp -R /Users/default/* /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj/
chown -R root /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj/
rm -r /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj/Library/Keychains/*
diskutil repairPermissions /
Can anyone shed any light/have any ideas? Any help much appreciated!
Cheers
