I am trying to use a configuration profile to restrict access to 3 system preferences. I am successfully able to restrict iCloud, Mail and Notifications, however, it also restricts my 3rd Party preferences for Java, Flash and Y-Soft.

Any ideas on how to correct this ? Or an alternate way, my old script isn't working any more.

defaults write /Users/$3/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist HiddenPreferencePanes -array "com.apple.preferences.icloud" "com.apple.preferences.internetaccounts" "com.apple.preference.notifications"

chown $3:staff /Users/$3/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist

Thanks
Jeff

    Thanks for the response, it will be too difficult to manage all of the different 3rd party preference panes.

    Hopefully someone will be able to determine why my script that worked perfectly in 10.9 is now broken in 10.10. It's the last piece before I can send through the QA process.

    Thanks again.
