Screen Saver setting on Workspace ONE UEM

Setting Up Screen Saver with Photos Module in Workspace ONE UEM

Certainly! Here’s a blog post on setting up the screen saver (using the Photos module) for MacBooks through Workspace ONE Unified Endpoint Management (UEM). I’ll provide the steps in English:

Setting Up Screen Saver with Photos Module in Workspace ONE UEM

1. Create a New Profile:

   • Log in to the Workspace ONE UEM Console via your web browser.
   • Navigate to Resources > Profiles & Baselines > Profiles and select Add.
   • Choose the appropriate profile type (e.g., macOS).

2. Configure the Profile:
   
   

   
   
   
   
   • In the profile settings, navigate to the Login Windows > Option > Set Screen Saver section.
   • Specify the Module Path as ///System/Library/ExtensionKit/Extensions/iLifeSlideshows.appex.

3. Assign to Smart Groups:

   • Assign the profile to the desired smart group containing the Mac you want to apply this screen saver configuration to.

4. Create a Provisioning Product:

   • Create a provisioning product that includes:
     • A file action to send the image file you want to display as the screen saver.
     • A script to configure the Photos display settings for the previously sent image file. Use the script provided in point 5.

5. Script:

   loggedInUser=$(/usr/bin/stat -f%Su /dev/console)
   sudo -u "${loggedInUser}" defaults -currentHost write com.apple.screensaver tokenRemovalAction -int 0
   sudo -u "${loggedInUser}" defaults -currentHost write com.apple.ScreenSaverPhotoChooser CustomFolderDict -dict-add identifier -string "destination_image_file" name "last_folder_destination"
   sudo -u "${loggedInUser}" defaults -currentHost write com.apple.ScreenSaverPhotoChooser SelectedFolderPath -string "destination_image_file"
   sudo -u "${loggedInUser}" defaults -currentHost write com.apple.ScreenSaverPhotoChooser SelectedSource -int 4
   sudo -u "${loggedInUser}" defaults -currentHost write com.apple.ScreenSaverPhotoChooser ShufflesPhotos -bool "false"
   sudo -u "${loggedInUser}" defaults -currentHost write com.apple.ScreenSaver.iLifeSlideShows styleKey -string "Classic"
   killall cfprefsd

6. Assign the Product:

   • Assign the provisioning product to the same smart group where you applied the profile in step 3.

Remember to test the configuration to ensure it works as expected. Good luck! 😊
