Gatekeeper Rearm?

[dferrara]

Hey all,

I couldn't find anyone talking about this on the Nation, which surprised me.

Apparently, GateKeeper rearms itself after 30 days unless this pair is written:

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.security GKAutoRearm -bool NO

Even after disabling GK at imaging and again with a profile, I've got some machines that are rearming after 30 days.

My next step will be to write the pair above, but I don't understand why the rearm is occurring if I have a config profile set. Anyone run into this?

OS X 10.10.5, JSS 9.65

I've got a post on this. It does not appear that a profile will work to disable Gatekeeper re-enabling itself:
