1. You never specified that they needed admin access. "because they were laptops" is bullshit and ignorance.
2. How do you actually expect to lock down a machine where the user has admin access, regardless of OS?
3. defaults doesn't do everything. It's a hack. The proper way would be to edit the settings in the proper plist files. Which is all that defaults changes anyway. Again, ignorance showing.
Your examples aren't needed to be locked down if the users aren't admin.
You need admin credentials to change sleep mode. You need admin credentials to enable sharing. You need admin credentials to do anything with the firewall.
It's not supported via the method YOU think it should because it's an authorization security not a defaults setting change.
Again, your ignorance hangs you up. Go take a week long training class on the OS since you're going to support it. You might learn a few hundred things.
You really sound like someone who's supported Windows for years, learning the little details like hashing together a program to automate your workflow.
Yet you don't have any clue about the Mac, and that makes it hard. Somehow, that's OS X's fault. VPN issues are VPN company issues. Ask them to write the software?

There's also things like radmind that would probably be much better at doing what you want. But your ignorance led you astray.
Which reminds me (sadly) of Armageddon, the movie.
When they're about to launch and Rockhound (Steve Buscemi) says "You know we're sitting on four million pounds of fuel, one nuclear weapon and a thing that has 270,000 moving parts built by the lowest bidder. Makes you feel good, doesn't it?"
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 This legislation prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, gender or national origin. The law exempts religious organizations.

Except that Apple didn't actually say that. They'll tell you that they built the best versions of those things, not the first.

"And voting for a third party candidate is like throwing your vote away."
And will be until enough people change their attitude and actually do just that.
I wonder if there's child pornography in Google's index?
That would make for an interesting case.
But I'm not willing to go there.
I wasn't aware of any international copyright laws...

How is buying $1M of pre-IPO stock not paying them? They made about ($29-$22/$22)M dollars or $318k on the first day from that agreement.
Eureka?
I meant Air Force bases.
There's only 33% more Walmarts than all military bases in AK.
Walmart is in Alaska.
http://walmartstores.com/pressroom/statebystate/State.aspx?st=AK
In fact, there's 4 times as many Walmart owned stores as there are military bases in Alaska.
Pretty sure that was the solution they had in place.
It failed.
Sometimes you need more money tossed at it to lower the failure rate.
It would have prevented this disaster...
Sounds like you have a great business plan there. Let us know how you do.

Not even chemistry. Just cleaning out the sink where you cut yourself.
Mix ammonia & iodine.
Fun times.
Sum of All Fears was written in 1991. Had about 90 pages on how to build a nuclear bomb.
Google makes more money on searches on iOS than it does on Android.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964
This legislation prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, gender or national origin. The law exempts religious organizations. If the reason for firing is arbitrary but is not included in a protected class, the firing is legal. For example, an employer cannot fire a woman for being Cambodian but can fire her because he does not like women who wear large, golden earrings or something equally capricious.
Sounds like I'm right. So what's your point?
I think you have it backwards.
Apple makes money from Apple products
Google makes more money from searches on Apple products.
Apple is suing Google to (try to) strengthen the Apple platform. Which would benefit both Apple and Google.
"t's illegal for the employer to deny me the job capriciously"
Why?
Can they fire you capriciously (in at-will states)? Yes.
So, what's the difference?
I'm not sure anyone who was affected is going to see the money. I believe it's more of a fine/punishment.
On the other hand, Apple made about $150M net free cash every day last quarter.
You might want to go research which mobile platform GOOG makes the most money from.
Hint, it's not Android.
