Shared Volumes

[#1]

Hi Folks-

We are using ADmitMac here on campus for AD integration. One bug is that
when you click on a server you are connected to in the Sidebar under
Shared, it says "connection failed" and then immediately disconnects
you. It's an annoyance, and I actually would like to disable users from
seeing the Shared servers anyway. If they want to see the servers they
have mounted (other than on their desktop) they can click Computer.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks, (and as you can see, I'm a rookie user. We just got the Suite
last week!)

I've done this. I need to dig through my scripts. I'll get back to you
soon.

Ok, for this, we want to set the "ShowServers" key in
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist to No or 0.

PlistBuddy -c Set :systemitems:ShowServers
0 /Users/$3/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist

Someone may want to double-check my PlistBuddy syntax as I haven't dug up my
script, but I recalled the name of the plist, took a Quicklook at it, and
put this command together.

You can hide them using the Finder/Sidebar preferences, then all you do is make a package of that using composer and deploy to all machine and Bob's you uncle...
