Lock settings on Sharing Preferences Pane

[jasonkstupski]

Hello all,

I’ve enabled ARD and SSH on machines that we’re going to deploy to our employees, but each user is going to be an administrator.

Is there a way through MCX that I can prevent these users from unchecking Remote Login and Remote Management in System Preferences?

Thanks!
Jason

Hey Jason, I’d be looking at the /etc/authorization file especially the system.sharepoints entry, maybe setting the group to a local or hidden admin group that doesn’t include your (admin) users.

Cheers

You should be able to lock that down via MCX. If you are running OD servers that is. Whatever plist controls remote access you need to dump that into the managed client application in WGM. Then set the string to always and make sure it is always on.

That should do the trick, but I don’t know what specific plist file you would need off the top of my head.
