Remove the pesky red badge by pushing a custom config with the following settings.



com.apple.systempreferences



<dict>
<key>AttentionPrefBundleIDs</key>
<integer>0</integer>
</dict>



Since we are controlling Software Update we need to prevent the badge icon on System Preferences each time a new update is available. Our policy is to hold off on all updates for 2 weeks after their release.



Are there any better ways to handle this?

Hey! did you find a way to do this? Thanks!

Also still looking for a way to keep Mojave from bothering users with those badges in the Dock and System prefs. It's a bit like wack-a-mole with them, you get one off then another one pops up, and it all gets reset when there are new updates.
