The jamf binary can be used to add mcx, curious if there's a way to remove mcx?



The reason I ask, sometimes there are hidden functions that don't show when pulling up the jamf binary help pages.



$ jamf -help mcx



Usage:   jamf mcx



Usage:   jamf mcx -username <username>



     -username       The username of the account that Managed Preferences are being applied to.



Notes:   When run without the -username flag, Managed Preferences are applied for the Computer Level.

what's wrong with https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=5171 ?

Thanks @hkim, we wanted a response from JAMF on whether the binary offers that function, in case it's one of the hidden ones.

For every MCX preference I make, I create one called "REVOKE - blah blah blah" and I have it to "Make This Preference Unmanaged"



Then I have an MCX Revoker Managed Preference Profile where I manually Scope it to the machine I want to revoke MCX's from.



Reboot and usually works.



If not, then I do the deep cleaning method in Terminal.

@pvader Interesting, we'll have a look at this.
