| The other option, if you have WGM, is to just use the Details section of WGM to manage your toolbar items. If you select a user, group or computer and click Preferences and then on the details section, and don't see the Menu Extras listed, you need to add the Managed Client App found in /System/Library/Core Services/ by hitting the + sign and browsing to that location. Once you have added that, you can choose Menu Extras from the list - and choose to Always manage it and turn the triangle down and click on the New Key button, choose Airport Menu Extra and set the boolean to False (screen shots attached). Log out and back in and the airport menu should be gone. Hope this helps.

Joel,
I run it from a unix shell script that kicks off when the user logs in. I have a number of defaults I set via the script and
use the following entry to tell the system to run the script when the user logs in:
#Put the loginhook in place to run the set defaults script
defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook /usr/local/setpreferences/scripts/defaultprefs.bsh
Once I have executed this command line in a terminal to set the login hook the script will run each time the user logs in.
I began doing this because the environment I inherited had only a single common login on all systems and we had no server
to manage user preferences. I wrote the script to set the desktop background, screensaver, dock, browser bookmarks
and a few other things to a common default each time the common user logged in or the system was rebooted. I also added
a bit of code to create a folder on the desktop, name it using the current date, and scoop up any files left behind by students
and place them in the folder.
As soon as I get all my users authenticating via AD I will set up default preferences via my Xserve and much of what I’ve been
doing will become irrelevant. In the meantime it’s worked well for me to keep the systems organized this way.

Subject: [Rockies-Edu] removing wireless icon from Tool Bar
In a recent server configuration workshop Corey gave way to prevent the wireless icon from showing in the
tool bar. Anyone remember the format of the write command for this? I use the following to prevent TimeMachine from asking to use student disks for backup and I’m sure it’s the same syntax with the appropriate substitutions:
defaults write com.apple.TimeMachine DoNotOfferNewDisksForBackup –bool YES
thanks,
Lawrence
