Hello right now I have the dock set via config profile. The users are able to add items just two things are unremovable. I want to switch to dock utility instead of config profile. The question is can I run a script to backup what their current dock is, remove the config profile and the apply this backed up dock?

dockutil has a list feature, just use --list to get a tab separated list for the current user, or add options for other or all users. Check the usage details on GitHub or run 'docktutil -h'
# list current users dock, returns tab separated list
% dockutil --list
/*

# list specific users dock
% dockutil --list /Users/thatuser
