Remove Siri from Dock

[omatsei]

Hey all, I'm working on Sierra, and so far, so good... except for Siri. I blocked the Dictation and Speech option in the Configuration Profile, but the Siri icon still shows up in the dock. What's the easiest way to remove that for all users who log in? Can I do it in a Policy?

Actually, my question was incomplete. The full question is, what's the easiest way to remove the Siri icon from the Dock AND the menu bar?

Depends if you want SIRI disabled or not, this will help you disable it entirely

You can use dockutil to remove it from the Dock.

What's the best way to remove it from the dock for all users that haven't logged in? I've used dockutil and it removes all of the other Apple icons from the dock except for Siri, Maps, iBooks and Photos.

Having the same issue. dockutil doesn't seem to find Siri.app or com.apple.siri.launcher in the the local com.apple.dock.plist file, so it can't remove it. I've tried adding the --allhomes flag, but dockutil still can't find Siri to remove it.

In my imaging workflow I'm skipping Siri setup so the service is disabled anyway, but I'd prefer to remove it from the Dock as well. Anyone else found a workaround for this?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this would be due to Dockfixup (com.apple.dockfixup.plist).
