Policy for Turning On Notification Center's Do Not Disturb

[Morningside]

In System Preferences, within the Notifications widget, there is an option for Do Not Disturb. In the past, in order to suppress ALL notifications for students and for the Guest Account, I simply turned on DND 24/7. I'd love a policy or config profile to do this instead. It would help reduce the times I have to touch each computer. Alternatively, if someone else knows of a more efficient method to suppress all (ALL - not just the welcome/take a tour message) notifications, that would be swell. Thanks!

look at this thread
the updated version of the script (posted 1/11/18) works on my 10.13 and 10.14 Macs.

if you want to test it:
send this command via ARD as currently logged in user:
/usr/bin/osascript -e "display notification "fleebo""
try it before & after toggling the state of "do not disturb"

well, this is weird. It worked like a charm yesterday. Today the script doesn't change the settings in Notification UI at all. not sure WTF is going on here ...

Any chance there is a solution to turning off Notifications in IOS?

As far as I recall, Apple does not want anyone to control this but the actual end user. So, I do not think it is possible to manage DnD at all. If your users turn it on and ignore your push notifications that is just the world we live in now.
