Hi jt,
What OS are you running with this scenario?
This sounds like it could be the solution I am looking for...
Also can you please be more specific with the "Default User Template"?
what is the path to this location?
I have tried a few tests where I modified a couple of the profile path
strings manually in some of the different ".GlobalPreference" files that
I could find, but none have had the desired results so far...
Will this profile be set as the "Display Profile" for all new users as
well as current users on the local mac?
Thank you.
Matt

I find it frustrating that while we provide a good custom
monitor profiles on the HD of each work station, the OS does not allow
us to select any of them as the initial choice for users that have not
previously expressed any preference for a monitor profile.
But Peter and all there are already two solutions to this problem, and
they work very well and reliably:
1) Use the Default User Template to make sure that all users get the
correct ByHost folder. I have an Active Directory college photo lab and
a public arts organization photo lab with local user accounts using this
method. As long as the calibrated profile is set in Default User
Template first, any and all subsequent users pickup and use the
specified calibrated profile by default.
2) If you have an OS X Server use Workgroup Manager to manage the
Display prefs on an individual workstation basis. Specifically you
manage the .GlobalPreferences.ByHost -->> com.apple.ColorSync.Devices
-->> Device.mntr.xxx... -->> CustomProfiles. Then any and all network
and local users will get the correct profile. It can take a while to get
all the manifest info right and work, but once you do it couldn't more
smooth and easy. I've attached a screen shot for any who are interested.
Both these solutions require that you have the desired profile in main
Library -->> ColorSync -->> Profiles directory (not an individual's
Library) and have permissions open to all.
