+8I've added a restricted process for the App Store in the JSS so any user will find they're unable to launch it via /Applications or Spotlight (the process gets killed immediately).
However, I find that they can still launch it via Apple Logo > App Store... or Apple Logo > Software Update...
How can I prevent this? I want my users to use purely Self Service.

Although in my dotfiles-type setup script I just include:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore restrict-store-softwareupdate-only -bool yesrm -rf /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.storeagent.plist && rm -rf /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.store_helper.plist basic but does the trick
Exactly what I'm looking for, many thanks!

doesnt work for me, I'm running 10.10.2 is that why?
+9Yeah it looks like those are gone in 10.10.X, not sure what the replacement is I'm afraid though.
+1HI
Is there a way to enable app store but block updates as it is going to be a managed solution. I would like to push all updates via JSS only
Thanks
+7I know that this is an old post but wanted to let you know that this solution worked for me
Go to the "Applications" tab under the "Restrictions" payload in a Configuration Profile. Check "Restrict which apps are allowed to launch" and then add "/Applications/App Store.app" (without quotes) under "Disallow Folders".
Works like a charm.
