I'd like to disable the following on all our client machines. Can anyone tell me the proper unix command via ARD?
1) Resume feature. Our teachers don't like programs re-opening when they login, and it also slows down initial startups.
2) Spotlight indexing - this occurs frequently on client machines and slows down performance.
Hi
To disable Resume system-wide:
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSQuitAlwaysKeepWindows -bool false
There's a number of ways to completely disable spotlight indexing. One way is:
launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
The above is all on one line. Both commands work as expected on 10.7 & 10.8. Not tried yet with 10.9. Send the commands as root and for good measure restart your clients.
HTH?

Thank you Tony. Trying to improve performance on our client machines and these two features (especially) resume has been asked a few times to be turned off.
How to disable ... via ARD?
