We've been having problems where users are starting up BootCamp
Assistant on their own and somehow managing to screw up their Mac
partition - what's the easiest way to restrict that app down / remove
it?
payloadless pkg file (not exactly sure how to make one of those)?
Script? Anybody have one handy?
I looked at MCX settings which has the ability to restrict folders - I
really only care about Bootcamp, in fact I think restriction all the
utilities folder would be too much of a hassle.
Just restrict it from running in the Casper framework. You could also
use MCX as well
Use the restricted software feature under management in the JSS web interface. Click on Add Restricted software, give it a display name, and put “Boot Camp Assistant.app” under Process to look for. I have it set to Kill the process. Been using it for a while now for this very app.

Tried this - worked perfectly! Tried it both on and off the LAN (that
was a concern - what's to stop a user from going home and trying it - if
it wasn't on the LAN, would it still be restricted??) and was happy to
see it was still restricted!
Thank you so much for the info!
