How to lock dock using ARD

I am wanting to lock down the dock on the iMac's in the computer lab's I manage so that students can't make changes to the dock, I know the terminal command to lock it but I'm wanting to find a way that I can run the command using ARD so that I can hit all the machines at once instead of having to do each computer at a time.
When I put the terminal commands to do this in the ARD Unix Command and ran it, it just errors out. These are the commands I run:
defaults write com.apple.Dock contents-immutable -bool yes
defaults write com.apple.Dock size-immutable -bool yes
defaults write com.apple.Dock position-immutable -bool yes
Is there a way to make that execute on multiple machines using ARD?

mv /Applications/iChat.app ~/.Trash
should do it - you may want to run as root to prevent it being stored in the logged-in user's Trash.

Deploying Microsoft Office Preferences using ARD

I've been working on deploying MS Office to a lab of iMacs. Mactopia has a really vague explanation of how to deploy preferences using ARD. I've gone through and created several packages that contain the necessary files and folders, permissions set, etc, but don't know how to run the package each time a new user logs into a machine.
Our machines are bound to AD, running MS Office 2008, 10.6, ARD 3.3 and Faronics DeepFreeze.
I've gone through and configured http://www.entourage.mvps.org/exchange/exchangesetupv3.html for Entourage as well as collected the necessary files each user will be designated to use.
So my question is, how to I get my MS Office preferences and Microsoft User Data files deployed for each user that logs in? The package files will deploy to ~/Documents and ~/Library/Preferences.
Please help!! I'm going to lose my mind!!

Credit goes to MS for core script (its to long to post here).
Credit goes to the guy who wrote the cleaner script. Whoever packaged it and didn't build in silent switches gets zero points.
Please note that this will only work for C2R installs of Office 2013.
This is not true. There are scrub scripts specific to C2R as well as MSI.
I extracted the scrub vbs from O15CTRRemove.diagcab
This is what worked for me. Use 7-zip to extract the entire package to a directory. Then run "OffScrub_015msi.vbs all".

Using ARD to send UNIX command to add item to dock

The ARD 3 Admin Guide, page 132, says the following command sequence will install an item in the dock of the target computer(s):
4) Type or paste the following UNIX command (replace /PathToApplication with your own path to the desired application, and be sure to include the application file extension, .app):
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '<dict><key>tiledata</
key><dict><key>file-data</key>
<dict><key>CFURLString</key><string>/Path_ToApplication
</string><key>_CFURLStringType</key><integer>0</integer></dict>
</dict></dict>';killall -HUP Dock
Use “persistent-others” instead of “persistent-apps” if the item is anything other than an application.
I am unable to make it work. Could anyone help with the correct syntax or suggestions as to how to perform a remote addition to the target computer dock.

Do you have JSS? I ask because your script contains the word JAMF allot.. if you do have a jss, is there a reason your trying to use ARD instead of your JSS to run this script?
When issuing the script from ARD as a send unix command, Have you cosnidered using the option to run command as user "root" ?
are you sure you want to do this? the script look like it dose more then just disable the isite. And do you know how to undo this if you change your mind?

How to lock a form (all fields read only) using a button (JavaScript)

Hi guys,
I have a form with several input fields, check boxes. Using a button in the form, I would like to lock it using a JavaScript. Locking means in my case that all input fields, checkboxes, etc. are read only (cannot be changed anymore).
I already use the following approach:
data.form.MyInputField.access = "readOnly";
The problem is, that this approach is not comforable from maintenance perspective. I would like a more generic or more simple way.
Generic:
loop over all fields and set them to "read only"
Simple:
xfa.form.lock; // but this does not work
Do you have any ideas how to solve this requirement in another way as I currently do?
Thanks,
Thomas

Now I used the following script:
// set the whole form as container
var objContainer = data.Report;
// call the method to set all fields to read only (recursion)
disableAllFields(objContainer);
function disableAllFields(objContainer) {
     for (var i=0; i < objContainer.nodes.length; i++) {
          switch (objContainer.nodes.item(i).className) {
               case "field" :
               case "exclGroup" :
                    objContainer.nodes.item(i).access = "readOnly";
                    break;
               case "subform" :
                    disableAllFields(objContainer.nodes.item(i));
                    break;
               default:
It works but is there another possibilitiy such like
form.lock;
Thanks,
Thomas

How to use ARD to access a PC running Windows 7?

Hi,
I just want to VNC my PC in the office. How do I access Windows 7 from my Mac using ARD 3.6.1?
My PC has RealVNC server running but they dont' seem to talk well with my Mac's ARD.

Hi
Try using this instead:

How to measure PLL lock time using LabView?

Hi.
I have to measure PLL, especially PLL lock time, using LabView.
How can I do it?
Is there is some dedicated LabView Toolkit that can do PLL lock time measurement?
Thanks :-)

Hi Igor,
you want to measure the time it takes the PLL to lock in to a change in the source frequency?
So you need to measure the frequency and you need to know the state of the PLL. Then you can calculate the time the PLL needs to work.
Best regards,

How do you automatically run software update using ARD?

Is there a way to automate running software update and downloading all updates using ARD? My current option is to log into each machine and do it manually. (I am also using a OSX server 10.6 if that helps.)
Thanks

Use the the Send UNIX Command option. There's a template in the Miscellaneous section to have the workstations download and install updates; run it as the root user in the Send Command as field so you don't have to worry about a user being logged into each workstation. You can set the command as a task to run on a schedule if you wish.
Since each workstation will download each update, it's most efficient if you can run a Software Update Server and point your workstations to that instead of directly to Apple. Then you don't have multiple downloads taking up your Internet bandwidth. If you have on a few workstations and/or a really big pipe to the Internet, that may not be a concern for you.

How to update App Store apps using ARD?

I run a tech desk for a middle school with over 400 computers. I can use ARD to update all Apple OS updates, but cannot update all apps from the Apple App Store. So far, I can only see a method to do this at each individual computers, which is time consuming and can lead to errors. Is there a method, besides running Apple Server, that Apple Remote Desktop can perform updates for Apple Store apps?

Hi,
I did develop an Applescript that downloaded outstanding updates from the Mac App store, then placed it on the host machine and Launched it from ARD.
Worked fine when there was only one update, then it broke when there were two as the buttons moved around. I eveltually gave up as it was too much work trying to figure it for my small number of 'puters.
