Is there a way to disable a user's Parental Controls through ARD?

So, we have Users with AD accounts, and for some reason Parental Controls is ON, and the only thing it limits is Printer Administration. I don't need this on, there's actually no need for Parental Controls at all, they are all Users, not Admins..


So, is there a terminal command that turns all Parental Controls OFF for all accounts that have it?


And, can i 'push' that out through ARD?

Assuming that they are local and not handed down by AD, you can remove the managed client settings for a local user from the commandline like so:


sudo dscl -mcxdelete /Local/Default/Users/username

sudo rm -rf /Library/Managed\ Preferences/username
