DVD Region

[#1]

Is there a policy or script that can be deployed to set DVD Region code?

Jamf has an "unlockRegionCodeSetting.sh" script in the resource kit, it's in Resource Kit/All Tools/Security Scripts.

It doesn't set the region code, but it unlocks the setting so end-users can set it without requiring admin intervention.

Sorry, mine was to allow user to change region without admin..

Might be handy..

#!/bin/sh
#allow any user to set initial DVD Region Code
#this does not allow a user to set it after it has been initially set

/bin/cp -pr /etc/authorization /tmp/authorization.plist

/usr/bin/defaults write /tmp/authorization rights -dict-add system.device.dvd.setregion.initial "<dict><key>class</key><string>allow</string><key>shared</key><true/><key>comment</key><string>This dictionary has changed, so that unprivileged users can setup inital dvd region code.</string><key>group></key><string>admin</string></dict>"

/bin/mv /tmp/authorization.plist /etc/authorization

I use a free app DVDRegionCodeUnlock1.0

allows non admin to set the code once.
