I'm hoping you guys can help me out here:

I'm a Technician at a campus which requires Active Directory to log in with campus username. So this means when a client logs in a mac and this creates a profile under "User" folder instead of local account.

Now, there's a client who have usher syndrome and prefers to use Universal access's "White on Black" display (contrast). When he enabled the "White on Black" displays on and logged out. When he logs back on and the "white on Black" display has been turned off and shows colored (normal) display. He does not like the idea of enabling the "white on black" every single time when logging in.

I examined and found out the "white on black" contrasts works with local account profile with stored information but not through AD's profile?

Is there a way to enable 'permanent' "white on Black" display with Terminal.app command line for AD user?

Thanks in advance.

Automator/AppleScript/Terminal script in the user's login items to trigger the switch?

I'm not an expert with these 3 apps.

Google search

First hit reveals:

Code:
tell application "System Events"
	key code 28 using {command down, option down, control down}
end tell

Naturally, this depends on your having left the key shortcut for white-on-black to the default of ⌘⌥⌃8.

So, when you set up the machine, do you use mobile accounts or not?

You could always just go and modify the default user template, the other option is set up a Mac OS X server in tandem with the AD to serve preference and configuration info.

Good luck!
