How can we suppress all notifications when software updates are available? Our users don't really need to be alerted whenever there are updates available for iTunes, iMovie, etc.

Configuration Profile is probably the best way to handle...

defaults write com.apple.iTunes disableCheckForUpdates -bool TRUE

To disable EULA...

defaults write com.apple.iTunes disableFirstRunWelcomeWindow -bool TRUE

I suppose swap out plist name for the other apps?
