Can I make a disk image with different defaults writes?

1

My technology teacher wants to change the location that screen shots are saved to. I know you do that by run this command in Terminal:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /path/

However every year he uses a Mac mini to reimage the computers. Is there a way to have that changed location be part of the new image?

This is in a computer lab, the computers are MacBook Airs.

defaults writes to property list files. The com.apple.screencapture plist is located at

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screencapture.plist

Once you've made the change with defaults, copy this file to the image.

so I would copy plist file on the computer with the modified location, then paste it on the image? (Not the best way of saying it, but you know what I mean...) – LakesideMiners – 2017-03-28T18:28:43.370

@LakesideMiners Yes, precisely – grg – 2017-03-28T18:29:53.200
