[Casper] locking docks

[Nichols, Jared]

Can you change the owner on com.apple.dock.plist so that it can't be modified?

If you are not using Open Directory I don't think theres any downside to turning on Casper Managed Preferences.

You could probably use plist buddy to modify the contents-immutable key in com.apple.dock to True and run it on login, but that seems like a lot more work.

Without Casper Managed Prefs as we have that turned off right now.
I need to do this via Casper.


Is this an impossible task?

You can do it using Open Directory or Casper Managed Preferences.

In Casper create a Managed Preference.  Create Setting from Template > com.apple.dock and do "Changes Disabled"

You want the contents-immutable key changed to true.

What is the best way to lock the dock so that no one can make changes
to it. In the past we have used parental controls but this takes
forever on 100 machines.  I tried just doing it on one machine and
sending the plist out.. same thing. Any ideas? Thanks!
