Software Deployment

These options are not literal options to be put into the registry by itself, they are bitmask options, what you need to do is put all the wanted options in the AdminFlags, or the UserFlags registry key.

If you want to force the setting for everyone, i would suggest you use AdminFlags:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Apple Computer, Inc.\iTunes\Parental Controls\Default\AdminFlags, DWORD, and then the binary or hex sum of all the options you want to include.

So if you want the option kParentalFlags_DisableAutomaticDeviceSync, you have to include hex: 0x00000800 or bin: 2048

but this setting alone will not force the sync option to disable, for that you have to also include the kParentalFlags_Locked option: hex: 0x00000001 dec: 1 this tells itunes that it has to commit to the AdminFlags setting.

The sum of the both options is hex: 0x00000801 or bin: 2049 this is what you will set as the AdminFlags value.

so you will get:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Apple Computer, Inc.\iTunes\Parental Controls\Default\AdminFlags, DWORD, hex: 0x00000801 or bin: 2049

Hope this helps.
