I haven't, but do use bombich.com's Carbon Copy Cloner and NetRestore. Restoring images, after modifying the Input Menu, was not working -- the new Input Methods weren't showing up. After a lot of analyzing of the file system, I discovered that the plist file maintaining the state was in .../Preferences/ByHost/. Since it was in ByHost, it was being tagged with the MAC address of the machine I created the clone on. I created an AppleScript to deal with the problem. This might give you an idea, if you're having a similar problem: tell application "Terminal" activate do shell script "sudo cp <the path of the source plist file> /Library/Preferences/com.apple.HIToolbox.plist" password <myAdminPassword> with administrator privileges close window 1 -- just cleanup display dilaog "Keyboard Input menu stuff fixed." buttons ["OK"] default button 1 -- Always give feedback. end tell You might want to use an alternative, more secure method to posting the password in the AppleScript, even though the script cannot be read by our students.
