Hi
Casper Newbie here … I need some help.
Has anyone figured how to Disable or Remove Airdrop in 10.7 Modifying the sidebar plist only unchecks it.
Thanks

defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.NetworkBrowser DisableAirDrop -bool yes
which you can put into MCX, I have yet to do that though…

Hi guys,
I don't appear to have the domain /Library/Preferences/com.apple.NetworkBrowser? Why is that?
Has anyone done this through Config Profile
We also need to disable AirDrop we have students sharing songs over that and it needs to be stopped. Need to turn that off. Ideas?
I found a link over at http://derflounder.wordpress.com/2011/10/07/disabling-airdrop-from-the-command-line/
#!/bin/sh
# Disables AirDrop in Mac OS X 10.7.x for new users by setting
# the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.NetworkBrowser.plist to
# include the key "DisableAirDrop" with a value of YES
defaults write /System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences/com.apple.NetworkBrowser.plist DisableAirDrop -bool YES
It won't let me edit, that did not work.
#!/bin/sh
# This is how to disable AirDrop by running this script.
defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser DisableAirDrop -bool YES
I use MCX
System Level Enforced
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.NetworkBrowser
com.apple.NetworkBrowser
DisableAirDrop
True
