[Casper] Menubar Items

[Thomas Larkin]

I will just add, if you aren't using OS X Server and MCX to manage your clients you may want to seriously consider doing so.  It will save you so much time and effort and if you miss something in your image you can always fix it with nested group preferences.  It is worth every penny of what it costs to set it up. 

Now, I will get off my soap box and go back to work 

Thanks

The menu bar items are all stored in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist. 



You do have to use PlistBuddy to script them, because they are nested one level below the top. But PlistBuddy is included in 10.5 (/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy)

Hello, 



I have deployed an image for 11 iMacs but have had a tough time getting rid of menubar items.  They are removed when I am booted from an external drive containing the partition I image, but after that image is deployed to all the iMacs I get Time Machine, Airport and other unwanted menubar items again. 



I have searched for a script to run after imaging to solve this with no success.  Do any of you have a script you use or another solution to remove unwanted menubar items? 



Thanks in advance.
