Hi Everyone,

Working a new standard config for our Macs and I'm looking to completely block iCloud on our Macs. Thus far I have Rich Troutens great iCloud sign in script and I have another that will disable the iCloud pref pane. However I'm trying to find a way to disable the item in Internet Accounts that allows iCloud sign in. Anybody know of a way of doing this whilst leaving the other items untouched. Also if you are blocking iCloud in your environment, any tips you can share? Am I missing anything?

Thanks!

/System/Library/InternetAccounts/iCloud.iaplugin

however I would not remove it...

  1. Any Apple update to the OS may replace it
  2. Your may users will see a wigged out option iCloud in Internet Accounts
  3. It really really done't block the access it just blocks the GUI and even though I wasn't able to set it up after I blocked it it's possible...( if it's cloud access is set up already there is really no way to block)
  4. Are you blocking iCloud access with your iPhones or on Windows? if not you are singling out OS X users.
