Parental Controls Randomly Enabled

We seem to have a problem where many (but not all) of our laptops are having Parental Controls being turned on for local accounts. This is happening to Admin accounts and even the guest account (it even happened to me), and I am 100% sure I didn't turn them on.

I suspected some policy or profile might be the culprit so I built a new machine from scratch and ran all of the policies and even ran jamf -manage and jamf -mcx, but I am unable to reproduce the issue.

Has anyone seen something like this before, or do you have any suggestions as to how I can track down the cause of this.

We are all running 10.10 Yosemite and I have jamf 9.99.0.

Thanks!

    Speaking without a complete understanding here, but I know that we have had trouble with the parental controls being enabled on the Guest account when we use a computer configuration profile to enable the Guest account. Haven't seen it happen on any other accounts, but it could be a related issue. You might want to experiment with your configuration profiles and see if there's a link there.

    Sorry if this isn't more help, just relating an issue that I've seen personally that could be related.
