We have installed Apple Remote Desktop and want to hide menu bar icon showing students they are being observed. I found that I can delete the file /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras. Can someone help me automate this deletion through Casper?

Use the kickstart command that is buried in the ARDAgent.app in /System:

/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart -config -clientopts -setmenuextra -menuextra no

That should disable the menu extra.
