macOS 10.13 brings changes to sysadminctl. You know those dscl scripts we used to use to create users? No longer supposed to be necessary (luckily they do still work). Now you can create a user with a one-liner, and do other forms of user management, such as enabling FileVault for a given user, or managing the guest accounts. However, you can't do these tasks as root or via sudo. You have to do so with other admin accounts per Apple kbase HT208171 (in fact, this article has been in my queue waiting for that issue to be fixed – but keep in mind I'm not prefacing these with sudo in the below commands). In the below command, we'll pass the -addUser option and then use -fullName to fill in the displayed name of the user, -password to send a password to the account and -hint so we can get a password hint into that attribute:

- Per Wigren noted that SpyMac claims to have pictures of the iWalk, the mysterious secret project scheduled to be announced any time now.It is apparently something between a subnotebook and a PDA running a scaled down OSX. Supposedly it can be a portable MP3 player, and it has apple's airport stuff built in. They announced the iPod instead, a lame MP3 player.

sysadminctl -addUser krypted2 -fullName 'Charles Edge' -password testinguser -hint hi
The result would be as follows:
No clear text password or interactive option was specified (adduser, change/reset password will not allow user to use FDE) !
Creating user record…
Assigning UID: 503
Creating home directory at /Users/krypted2
Notice that in the above, the system automatically selected a home directory and UID. We could have passed those as well, using Now let's use dscl to view the user we just created:
Miserable Pocket Man Mac Os Pro
dscl . -read /Users/krypted2
Forest fire (nicole polidore) mac os.
NFSHomeDirectory: /Users/krypted2
Password: ********
Picture: /Library/User Pictures/Fun/Ying-Yang.png
PrimaryGroupID: 20
RealName: Charles Edge
RecordName: krypted2
RecordType: dsRecTypeStandard:Users
UniqueID: 503
UserShell: /bin/bash
Notice that the above is not the whole record you'd typically find with dscl. But if it were, you would not have the AuthenticationAuthority attribute. To see if it can unlock FileVault we can use the -secureTokenStatus operator built into sysadminctl. Simply pass the RecordName and you'll get an indication if it's on or off:
Miserable Pocket Man Mac Os Catalina
sysadminctl -secureTokenStatus krypted2
The response should be as follows:
Secure token is ENABLED for user Charles Edge
To just get the ENABLED response we'll just use awk to grab that position (also note that we have to redirect stderr to stdout): sysadminctl -secureTokenStatus charles.edge 2>&1 | awk '{print$7}'
We could append the AuthenticationAuthority attribute with dscl, as we would need a SecureToken. To get a SecureToken, we'll use the -secureTokenOn verb:
sysadminctl -secureTokenOn krypted mysupersecretpassword
To disable, we'll use -secureTokenOff
sysadminctl -secureTokenOff krypted mysupersecretpassword
Given that we like to rotate management passwords, we can do so using-resetPasswordFor which takes a username and a password as -newPassword and -passwordHint respectively:
sysadminctl -resetPasswordFor krypted -newPassword newsupersecretpassword -passwordHint 'That was then this is now'
sysadminctl -guestAccount status 2>&1 | awk '{print$5}'
sysadminctl -guestAccount Off
You can also use sysadminctl to do a quick check of the encryption state of the boot volume using the -filesystem option (although there's no on and off verb for this option just yet):
bash-3.2# sysadminctl -filesystem status
2017-12-07 10:37:26.401 sysadminctl[8534:466661] Boot volume CS FDE: NO
2017-12-07 10:37:26.434 sysadminctl[8534:466661] Boot volume APFS FDE: YES
The help page is as follows:Usage: sysadminctl [[interactive] || [-adminUser -adminPassword ]] -deleteUser -oldPassword ] -resetPasswordFor -newPassword ] -addUser ] [-UID ] [-shell ] [-password ] [-home -secureTokenOn -password -guestAccount -afpGuestAccess -smbGuestAccess -automaticTime -filesystem status Pass '-' instead of password in commands above to request prompt.
Why should you switch to sysadminctl for scripts? Entitlements and I'm sure this is how mdmclient will pass management commands in the future… Why should you not? You can't run most of it as root…Mac OS is the secondmost popular operating system after Microsoft Windows. Although you arecomfortable using Windows for a very long time but there are many scenarioswhere you need a Mac OS machine.
Whether you want to develop your iOS app on Xcode, using apps like Final Cut Pro or iMovie which only comes on Mac OS, you need to buy an expensive Apple Macbook. So, without making a hole in your pocket, the alternate solution to this installing Mac OS on your Windows computer. Let's get started with this tutorial

Step One: Download Mac OS ISO Image file https://free-slots-coach-vegas-iqk-games.peatix.com.
As you are on a Windows PC, you don't have access to Apple Store to download Mac OS. You need to download Mac OS from an external trusted source. You can download the latest Mac OS Catalina 10.15 or Mac OS Mojave 10.14 Installer files from our website.
Step Two: Download Virtual Machine for Windows
Miserable Pocket Man Mac Os X
There is various free Virtual Machine software available for Windows such as Oracle's VirtualBox. But I recommend using VMware Workstation Pro, although it's a paid software but you can use it free for 30 days trial. You can download Vmware Workstation Pro 15 from this link. https://gugurepublic100.weebly.com/audacity-software-free-download-for-windows-8-1.html.
Step Three: Install VMware Patch to run Mac OS X
- Go to the VMware macOS Unlocker page to download. Click the Clone or download button, then click Download ZIP.
- Power off all virtual machines running and exit VMware.
- Extract the downloaded .zip file in step 1.
- On Windows, right-click on the win-install.cmd file and select Run as Administrator to unlock. Also, run win-update-tools.cmd for VMware tools for macOS.
- After the unlock process is complete, run VMware to create the macOS virtual machine.

Step Four: Create an Apple Mac OS Virtual Machine
- Click File, select New Virtual Machine…
- Select Typical (recommended) and click Next.
- Select I will install the operating system later. and click Next.
- Select Apple Mac OS X in the Guest operating system section and select macOS 10.14 in the Version section. Click Next.
- In the Name, the Virtual Machine window, name the virtual machine and virtual machine directory. I personally would put it on a different drive than the system drive.
- Select the size for the new virtual disk in the Specify Disk Capacity window. This is the virtual disk to be installed macOS. Click Next and then Finish.
Step Five: Run you Mac OS Virtual Machine with VMDK or ISO file
After successfully creating an Apple Mac OS Virtual Machine, you need to run the machine with an actual Mac OS file such as Mac OS Mojave 10.14 ISO file or Mac OS Mojave 10.14 VMDK Image

If you face any driver issues, Try installing VMware tools from the VM tab in the VMware window. Also, I would recommend assigning a minimum of 4GB RAM and 40GB of Hard Disk to your Virtual Machine.
