1. Create the file you want to load into the value as plain text and scp it to your destination server.

  2. Create an applescript with the following text:

set the text_file to open for access file “Remote HD:path:to:file”

set text_of_file to read text_file

do shell script “niutil -createprop -t radmind/network /computer_lists/Peds\ Managed\ Classic mcx_settingss ‘” & text_of_file & “‘”

  1. Save the applescript local, then scp it to the destination server

  2. ssh to the destination server as root and run `osascript name_of_applescript`

  3. Check with NetInfo Manager to see how things went.

It’s recommended to make the property you add to a non-critical one, then rename it later (example, mine uses mcx_settingss instead of the real mcx_settings value).

Your milage may vary, playing with NetInfo may make your machine very sick and unable to boot. You have been warned.
