Preventing airport from being turned off

Hello. im the techie at a school and we have been having a lot of problems with students turning off the airport and playing games to evade us from watching them. Is there any way to prevent students from changing the status of the airport ( on /off )?
We run all the users from an OD so if it could be run from the server it would be great. but otherwise it would be just as good if its run from the client.
any ideas?

Would managed accounts be too drastic a solution? Perhaps you could switch the accounts of offending students to such a status.

  • Keeping remote management from being turned off.

    Anyone know of a set of commands that will keep remote management turned on in sharing preferences.
    I monitor a network and the users need full admin access. However they like to turn off the remote management preference.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Antonio is on the right track.  Unfortunately, if you give your users admin access they can undo anything.  This is what I do in Terminal, and so far, no one has been determined enough to disable it:
    sudo crontab -e
    */30 * * * * /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -activate -configure -access -on -users administrator -privs -all -restart -agent -menu
    Assuming you know how to adjust a cron job, you can have it fire off at whatever interval you'd like.  The example above restarts Remote Management every 30 mins.  They may go in and turn it off a few times, but in my experience they just give up after a few times.

  • Airport Being Turned Off

    I am using a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.5.3. Every time I restart my MacBook, it turns off Airport. This is extremely annoying because I have it set to automatically mount network servers at login, but this will fail unless I an very quick and turn Airport back on before it tries to connect to the server. I don't know why Airport keeps getting turned off, but does anyone know what I can do to stop this from happening?

  • Can I maually check for updates but prevent them from being automatically installed if it turns out one is available?

    Can I maually check for updates but prevent them from being automatically installed if it turns out one is available?
    Background:
    In options I have "check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them" ticked. This works fine, in that I periodically receive a notice of an available update, and it will ask me whether I want to I want to install it.
    But there are certain times -- for reasons I won't go into here (unless requested as part of seeking a solution) -- where I want to manually check for new versions, but RETAIN the ability to decide whether or not to install it. But if I click Help/About Firefox/Check for Updates, and it finds an update, it will immediately proceed to install it without asking for permission. While that seems quite inconsistent with my update preferences in Options, it is apparently normal behavior as described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-version#w_how-do-i-manually-check-for-updates.
    So is there any way I can manually check for new-update availability but then refuse the update if I so choose? Once an unwanted install begins, I'm concerned that if I click cancel I could end up with a partial installation or some "messed up," duplicated or corrupted FF files (e.g., multiple versions appended with (1), (2) etc, similar to what sometimes confusingly happens when I do an XP System Restore).
    Thanks.

    I think what needs to be made very clear here is that when a user clicks on "check for updates" the software should bloody well CHECK for updates and most certainly SHOULD NOT proceed to download and apply any updates. this is misleading and intrusive.
    I just wanted to check if there was an updated version but I DID NOT want to actually update at that moment. the software downloaded data, costing me money and tried to apply the update which could have potentially messed up my settings if I had not checked everything was ok first.
    I actually discovered how to prevent the update by searching through windows and manually deleting the files but why should anyone have to go to such lengths?
    the software should simply do as it is asked, not do things that have most certainly not been asked.

  • Prevent Finder from being killed

    Hi all -
    Is there a way to prevent Finder from being killed when I 'accidentally' Cmd-Q it?  It is really frustrating to have to relaunch it all the time.

    Open the AppleScript Editor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run:
    tell application "Finder" to quit
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder QuitMenuItem 0"
    delay 2
    tell application "Finder" to run
    This setting is off by default.

  • How do I prevent files from being backed up to iCloud and iTunes?

    I have created the ios app using adobe AIR16 and flash cc. After submission of my aap into aapstore, I received a message from Apple with the following message –
    From Apple
    2.23 - Apps must follow the iOS Data Storage Guidelines or they will be rejected.
    By using xcode we can prevent files from being backed up to icloud and itunes, but i want to know that  what is the way to achieve this by using AIR. While creating an explicit app id from apple developer account , i am not enabling icloud support.

    Within AIR you can set the File.preventBackup property to true on a directory or file to prohibit that content from being backed up to the cloud:
    File - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference
    This is all you need to call when you first create the folder or file to have it work with iOS backup guidelines.

  • I receive numerous messages in "Bulk Mail". Where do they come from and how can I prevent them from being received? Thanks

    I receive numerous messages in "Bulk Mail". Where do they come from and how can I prevent them from being received? Thanks

    Once you're on a spammer's list, there's nothing you can do to stop the flood of e-mail messages. You can either control it, using spam filtering (which is what files those messages in the Junk Mail folder), or you can throw out your e-mail address and get a new one.
    It's sad, but spam is simply a fact of life at this point, and there's nothing to be done about it. Legislation has been tried, with zero success, since most spam either comes from countries with no legislation or from personal computers that have been infected with malware and are part of a "botnet."

  • The application detected an error that prevents changes from being saved.

    Hi. I'm having this problem almost all the time when I do some color correction.
    "The application detected an error that prevents changes from being saved. To avoid losing your work, quit Final Cut Pro."
    Any ideas why this is happening?
    I'm on a 2010 Mac Pro running latest Mavericks and latest FCP X.
    I already removed FCP X, and all the effects I have installed. But still the issue persists.
    Thanks.

    That could have happened. I can't remember though.
    Is there any work around?
    I currently only have 1 open library and 1 event on it. If I move or copy that event into a new library, would that in theory work?
    Thanks for the help so far.

  • Is there any way to prevent fields from being overwritten when importing data via xdp-file?

    In an pdf-form designed with LCD everytime the form gets merged with an xdp-datafile content of all fields get overwritten, regardless which data-binding (normal, global, none) is assigned to the fields and regardless if the fields are exluded in the xdp-datafile. Is this normal behavior and is there any way to prevent fields from being overwritten?

    The xdp-file is first exported from Acrobat Professional 8 (export data as *.xdp) to get the complete structure. Then in the xdp-file some fields are removed manually and other fields are filled with data. When the modified xdp-file is opened again with Acrobat Professional 8 it grabs the original pdf-form and merges the manually filled fields into the form. With the merge all other fields in the form are overwritten, even if they are not defined in the xdp-file. And that is what I want to avoid. I want to merge the xdp-file into the form and keep the data in fields not defined in the xdp-file.

  • Is there a way to prevent HTML from being displayed in forum?

    Is there a way to prevent HTML from being displayed in forum in BC to avoid linking to other sites on an eCommerce site?

    Thank you for your post!
    Unfortunately there isn't a way to restrict customers to post on your forums links to other sites.
    However what I suggest here is to choose to moderate each forum post and this way you can choose to approve or remove links from the posts sent by customers.
    I hope this helps!

  • Prevent batches from being changed in MB1A

    Hi,
        I am looking to prevent batches from being changed by the material handler during the MB1A transaction. Does anyone know of any user exit or BADI in the MB1A tcode to acomplish this or any other way to do it ? The batches determined during production order batch determination are the ones which should be issued out and if for some reason the batch needs to be changed, they should get back to their supervisor to issue a different batch. Is all of this even possible ?
    Thanks

    Hi GS,
    Please check  Enhancement MBCFC010  Propose batch number on Inventory Management item screen or MB_CHECK_LINE_BADI - BAdI.

  • How do i prevent history from being cleared? prevent privacy browsing?

    How do I prevent privacy browsing and/ or prevent history from being deleted from son's computer?

    Note that removing or disabling "Private Browsing" will not make it impossible to delete private data like visited websites (history) or cache.
    There are a lot of ways to clear such data, either via [[Clear Recent History]] or directly by deleting the History in the Library or sidebar.
    Private Browsing makes it easier because all data is kept in memory and nothing is saved to disk, so nothing needs to be removed.
    If you want to see which sites have been visited then you should look at others means outside Firefox like a router or firewall with a password protected logging feature that can't be bypassed or a program like [http://www.wireshark.org/download.html Wireshark].
