I've noticed that if I create a policy to add or remove dock items, it only effects current user accounts.



I created a policy to remove a bunch of dock items (mail, contacts,itunes,app store,maps,ibooks etc...).



If a new user logs in, AFTER THE POLICY ALREADY RAN, they are given the default dock with all the items.
is this how it is supposed to work ?

@dferrara @rblaas to get the python script on your client macs, did you create a pkg to place the file on each computer in one of the $PATH locations ?



I'm still testing the JSS policy using DOCK payload with now 9.82 instead of 9.81.



9.81 policy works good on LOGOUT but I want it to work on LOGIN. So if 9.82 does not work on LOGIN, then i'll try dockutil


@tcandela
I distribute the python script via pkg and install in in /usr/local/bin.


with El Capitan, looks like Apple has also defined some exceptions to SIP’s protection in the rootless.conf file, and one of those exemptions is /usr/local


is anyone having problems using dockutil with El Capitan ?
