[Casper] Menubar Items

[Ron Prue]

Sorry for the slow reply.  I was distracted with another project for a  
bit.

I am using Leopard Server and WGM, but not currently to manage mobile  
accounts or computers.  It handles file serving, mail, ftp and VPN.

The machines I want to maintain are at another facility 60 miles  
away.  They are public machines that I am trying to lock down and I  
image them occasionally but can't seem to repress the menu items.   
They are already managed by JSS and I would really like to try and  
accomplish this task using a policy/script if possible.  If not, I can  
look into getting them managed by my server.

BRW, thanks for the replies.  You guys are great.
