Im trying to lock down the option for OS X 10.5 to automatically
check for software updates. I'm using MCX policy to tell the Macs
which server to use for the updates (I have my own SUS server on my
LAN), but there isnt a way to disable the OS X from automatically
checking for updates. I want to discourage users from seeing the
"new software is available" dialog pop up every time iTunes is
updated, etc. "Out of site, out of mind"
I tried these files, and none of them contain the key to disable
automatic checks for 10.5:
This is located in ~/Library/ByHost/
com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.MACADDRESS.plist
Where obviously, MACADDRESS is the MAC address of your machine. You
can apply ByHost settings with MCX, it works fine.
