Through Remote Access, I control about 200 Macs in a Middle School. Whenever I update applications, the Parental Controls change. For now, that means I have to access all 200 computers to change back account access. Is there a UNIX command I can do to change Parental Controls for all computers at once?
Most computers are running 10.6.7 (some 10.5.8) They are iMacs (new), MacBooks (new and older), and MacBook Pros.
Hi David,
when you say the Parental controls change, what parts of parental controls are you using? Do you mean witch application you allow the user's to use?
Just came across this while looking to solve another issue and wanted to share my experience in a similar situation. I was able to put together a few unix commands to export the Parental Control settings on one machine and then import those settings to an entire lab using ARD.
Instructions are online at http://applehelp.org/ARD_local_managed.html
I hope this helps.

Thanks for coming across this. I'll give it a try this week and get back to you.
