Missing domain/plist

[darms21]

Hi all,

I have created a managed preference (MCX) through Casper to disable AirDrop but after a 2nd look I realize that my test system does not have the domain/plist /Library/Preferences/com.apple.NetworkBrowser....

Why is this?

I did notice that my MCX.plist was updated with the managed preference to disable AirDrop but I'm not sure if it actually did anythig because the target domain/plist is missing in action (/Library/Preferences/com.apple.NetworkBrowser)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I just looked on one of my 10.8.2 MBPs. It was missing, so I entered:

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.NetworkBrowser DisableAirDrop -boo NO

And it created one. What happens when you do that? (change to YES to enable).

Hmmm, when I run that command it is not creating the plist as expected...

Also, DisableAirDrop -boo NO = enabled :)

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Kevin

Try

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.NetworkBrowser DisableAirDrop -boolean NO

Sorry - my cut 'n' paste was missing some text (bool, not boo). And yes, me reversed yes and no :)

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.NetworkBrowser DisableAirDrop -bool NO
