Identify Screensaver File in macOS for Classic Screensaver for Profile Payload

I need to identify the module path for the Classic screensaver in macOS.

I need this in order to deploy a screensaver profile (https://developer.apple.com/library/content/featuredarticles/iPhoneConfigurationProfileRef/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010206-CH1-SW60)

Does anyone know what this is or how or where I may be able to find this?

The screen savers are located in the following directory
/System/Library/Screen Savers/
Module path would be the path to the screensaver file
/System/Library/Screen Savers/xxxx

Hi Iamthecreator OM,

This is where I would expect to see it, but it isn't listed here, we only have:-

Arabesque.saver
FloatingMessage.saver
Flurry.saver
Random.saver
Shell.saver
Word of the Day.qtz
iTunes Artwork.saver

I am after the "Classic" screensaver which appears in the Preferences for Desktop & Screensaver GUI.

Try looking in the user's Library.

~/Library/Screen Savers/

The Classic Screen Saver looks to be actually 4 separate Screen Savers in /Library/Screen Savers/Default Collections/

serialband, this is just 4 separate folders with images in, there seems to be no classic.saver or anything similar.

Those are the options to the classic screen saver. You'll see them when you choose classic. It seems t o be set up differently than the other screen savers.

Im trying to find out how if at all possible I can set the screen saver to a classic save via a mdm macOS payload :/
