Thanks, Ben.
I'm trying to do this in a way that does not involve any end-user interaction to set the profile. I know it is quite easy for the user to go into the Display Preference and select the profile but you would be surprised how many will not do this, for whatever reason. :)
It's progress, though. Once it's set that first time and the profile name stays the same, there's no more end-user effort required.
Well, if you're looking to save them even the trouble of the one-time-only selection of the profile...the "right" solution is to fire the ones who can't or won't for gross incompetence or insubordination; the "easy" solution is to make the next profiling session be as you've been doing with the user twiddling thumbs as the tech does the work; and the "technical" solution is for a superuser process to call defaults.write on devices.displays.<display name> on be half of (su) the user. Considering it's only four mouse clicks in under ten seconds to set the display profile and they only have to do it once -- and that you can leave a photocopied instruction sheet with screenshots taped to the front of the monitor after you've finished the calibration -- I'd personally go with the "right" solution...but that's just me....
