Hello,
I am working on standardizing and limiting distraction of our end users by removing most of the Apple Bloatware from the dock. Which I have limited access to what apps can be used so they are useless being on the dock too. I'm stuck on getting some default apps removed from the Dock. So in the management setting I have set dock items with their path for example: (file://localhost/Applications/FaceTime.app/)
Here a list of apps I removing:
- FreeForm
- News
- Reminders
- Apple TV
- FaceTime
- Maps
- Messages
I was able to have it successfully add Google Chrome and Drive to dock but not remove Default Apps. What I have currently handling the removal is a standard jamf policy listening to login events. I am using the built in "Dock Items" payload. To figure out what was going on I pushed the policy manually with verbose and it is pushing out a bunch of errors of "No Dock found"

Has anyone ran into this error before or know what stems from it. The computer I am currently testing with is running Ventura 13.1
