OSX unmanaged configurations

 Is there a way I can modify the OSX configurations on a workgroup?  I know I cannot do this from the webroot console but are there instructions to run a script?  For example, I want to be able to disable or enable scan mounted drives on the osx clients.  I don't have the manpower to go to each workstation individually to manually set this. 
 
Any help would be appreciated. I have root access on all the machine. I can utilize Apple Remote Desktop or just ssh a shell script. Does webroot have any terminal utilities avaiable or does webroot have a configuration file I can modify?
 
Thank you,
Kenny

We are in the final stages of updating WSA for Mac to provide initial policy management .  Not all settings , compared to that for Windows, will be able to be managed from policy simply because of functional differences between the two.   I will publish a full list of settings for WSA for Mac that will be able to be managed from policy in the future.

    Hello Kenny,
     
    Unfortunately we don't have a way to change the settings remotely. Anything you are suggesting you are able to try. Unfortunately if it does work partially or doesn't work at all we wouldn't be able to provide support.
