Preventing this will be difficult, however a simple launchd or cron task could be used to repair this.

Alternatively, a more robust solution might be to use something like radmind.

Obviously there is more than 1 way to skin a cat, but I wanted to get your guys opinion on the best way (or best practice) on keeping Mac users from changing the name of their local hard drive. I want to make sure all of my Macs have a boot volume named "Macintosh HD" (The default Apple hard drive name). The trick here is that most of my users are local admins (don't ask why - its a long story riddled with politics and intrigue). Other than asking my Mac users "please don't name your hard drive", what can I do to stop them? I considered a permission change on the hard drive, but I don't want to break anything. I have a single master NetRestore image I use for deployments. Most of my Macs are bound to AD (for user authentication) and OD (for MCX management). Im sure you guys have had similar issues. Please chime in if you have an idea.
