<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>This is how we have done it (though we’ll move to managed preferences in Casper this year). We have the Dock and environment packages apply at startup. So, a kid can mess with anything and if they do, restart the computer. Check the box to make available off-line and then it’s just there on the machine from then on. It will make startup a tad slower, but we do it there so as kids log in and out there isn’t the delay, only reboot if something is messed up.<BR>

Just to chime in yet another way...<BR>
<BR>
Self healing log in hooks done by casper policy, and capture the dock with composer and make it a package. It will get deployed at every log in. <BR>

Take 20 minutes to explore Managed Preferences in the JSS. Turning it on<BR>
does nothing until you actually assign (scope) computers or computer groups<BR>
to it. Assign one machine to it for testing.<BR>
<BR>
All machines phone home at login unless they cannot connect to the JSS for<BR>
some reason. The new settings will be applied then.<BR>
<BR>
Very simple and very quick to set up. An elegant solution.<BR>
