I have a group of Macbooks in one grade that I would like to limit to about 200 websites. I know that in Parental Controls I can do that, but is there a way to programmatically push this list to about 70 computers?



I know the workflow on an individual computer would be:




  1. Enable parental control for the user on the computer

  2. From the Web tab, select Allow Access to only these websites

  3. click the + sign and Add BookMark

  4. Add the website.



It's painful enough to have to type in all the websites, but to repeat 70x is not feasible.



Thanks for any help you can provide!

To solve any problem like this, the process is the same. You need to figure out where the GUI method stores that information. Then recreate that process using the command line, and then distribute that process with a script in Casper. I think it's saved in /Library/Managed Preferences somewhere.
