Hi jAMF NATION,
I don't know how many MCX settings you can apply before the machine starts slowing down. But I believe we should keep it simple and less.
I only applied two settings from JSS in my test environment and it already started playing up.
I used two settings to turn off BlueTooth and Airport for iMacs. First thing I notice is that the Airport shows as "not configured". So I guess the setting worked. Then the BlueTooth shows still on and I can click it to turn off and on, which looks like the BlueTooth MCX settings didn't come down. Restarted the computers a few times, same. Then I decided to turn Airport back on by setting the "Disable Airport" MCX to false and apply it. I can't even turn the Airport back on. Now all my iMacs shows Airport "Not Configured".
Has anyone had similar issues?
Any response is welcome!!!
Thank you.

    Is JSS's MCX removing AirPort from the list of network interfaces?

    Yes, I would like to turn both Bluetooth and Airport off on the iMac. Only Airport shows "Not Configured" and Bluetooth is still on. I also have trouble turning the Airport back on by setting the "Disable Airport" MCX to false.
