Help setting up new user accounts
One of the facets of my job, is being a freelance graphic designer, which involves me going in to numerous design studios with my own Mac.
For security reasons, I set up a new user account for each studio, and encrypt it with FileVault.
Is there anyway to automate some of the work involved in setting up a new account? There will be various things that remain consistent throughout each of the the accounts ? like the Dock icons and the fonts that I use. It would be great if there was an easy way to set up the various accounts.
Would a script be the way forward? I've never written a script before... how easy is it?

Honestly, I don't know if this works but if you are logged on as an administrator privileges you might be able to copy the User Folder you have created at home/work to the new job site Users Folder and the create the new User account making sure you keep the same short name. So basically when you log in for the first time it will find the user folder with that short name and then won't just auto create a blank folder from the default new user folder in the system/library...
ugh
You should be able to get something going... with this
