We've been stuck on thunderbird 24 for a long time because we could never get our autoconfig to work on later versions. All of the preferences appear in 'about:config' but only the general ones seem to be adhered to and the account and server ones ar...

Does anybody know of any ways of stopping file access (iOS app USB file sharing) in iTunes other than disabling usbmuxd? Are there any MCX/config profile methods of doing this? cheers Matt

Are your machines pointed at a proxy when on your network or do you set any static DNS servers?If so are your students switching to a network location with just DHCP settings when at home? Assuming that after your policy both /usr/bin/defaults read /...
