We used this JAMF Script long ago when we were only deploying desktops, which I think worked.

Definitely won't work with 10.11 and SIP. =/

Thanks for the suggestion!

like I said, long ago :)

Can you do something like write a plist file with the network services turned off or disabled and make that a force profile? That's where my mind would go for something like this. It gives me a recoverable point if I do want to enable wifi.

=D

Yeah, looks like:

networksetup -setairportpower Wi-Fi Off

then

networksetup -setnetworkserviceenabled Wi-Fi Off

That should do it. Thanks! I always forget networksetup is a thing.

And grabbed the mobileconfig to disable wifi menu icon from this thread.

Thanks!

Hi Staze, I'm relatively new to this, is what you've put here with the..

networksetup -setairportpower Wi-Fi Off then
networksetup -setnetworkserviceenabled Wi-Fi Off

something you put in as a command line, or are you editing a plist file?

Those are both "scripted" command line statements via a policy. There is no plist that'll do those. =/

Fantastic, testing now.. Thank you.

We've been using a script that was originally given to us and titled "Air Defense" from a few years ago. A bug just presented itself, so I'll see about posting it later.

EDIT: Okay, found the bug and fixed it. This seems to be working for both our older and newer systems with the USB-C ports. Feel free to edit, mangle, whatever.
