Deploying Itunes with Restrictions

Question

We would like implement itunes restrictions in our company, but I have problems with regiter keys.
I prefer the following restrictions.
- Automatic and user-initiated checking for new versions of iTunes and device software updates
- Displaying Genius suggestions while browsing or playing media
- Automatically discovering Apple TV systems
- Registering new devices with Apple
- Subscribing to podcasts
- Playing Internet radio
- Library sharing with local network computers also running iTunes
I have HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Apple Computer, Inc..\iTunes\Parental Controls\Default folder created and DWORD Adminflags etc added and then the admin flag changed to 46D3.but I not getting the desired result.
What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I doubt very much that anyone will be able to answer your question. I have never seen similar requests answered. Some of your things are controlled from the iTunes preferences file which can change with iTunes versions so even if you manage to hack it, it could break after an upgrade.
I wonder if a simpler approach might be to block access to the store domains via whatever filtering software you use in your company.

The library sharing is provided by Bonjour, so you have various options. Prevent its loading at start up.
Uninstall it. Or even don't install it at all. The iTunes set up programs contains the various msi files for installing iTunes components. If you extracted them and left out bonjour?
It sounds as though you probably know how to extract msi files, but a method I have is to run iTunessetup from the cmd with /extract.
iTunessetup.exe /extract %TEMP%
To extract into the Windows temp folder.
Still I could be wrong, maybe someone with have the answer.
