Hi guys.

Are you sure that -locationmenu Configuration Profile is working? Especially on newly configured laptops?

Because with the config profile pushed to the macOS device I can still turn on/off Show location icon in Control Center when System Services request your location

Domain: com.apple.locationmenu

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> ShowSystemServices

It's working over the script:

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.locationmenu.plist ShowSystemServices -bool true

I already talked with Allen Golbing in Mac Admins, I am just raising a ticket here
