@CCWTech bringing me and @LtWilhelm Dunkin Donuts.
Nice, tell him to swing by here. No DD coffee, we have grind and brew here. But two chocolate topped, vanilla filled would be great.

Looking for a large, wall-mountable, lockable, metal box. Kind of like a parcel mail box, but not really a mail box.

Do you need racking capabilities in this box? Or literally a parcel box?

Racking isn't needed, just a metal box that locks.
But, incidentally, you did give me an idea of using a wall-mount network rack to solve the same problem. Does the same thing for a lot cheaper.
EDIT: Something like this should work just fine for the problem I'm trying to solve.

Just kicked a rogue device off the company wifi... I'm fairly sure I found the device, now to see how long it takes for the user to cry about bringing in a home laptop and surreptitiously connecting it to the wifi without my approval, even though he knows the damn policy.

I'm working on writing some scripts to setup new printers on apple devices using ARD and Unix commands.
Not sure how this is going to work but I think it should, assuming I can use scp to copy the driver to the target, mount the installer and then install it all remotely.

Couldn't you use CUPS?

I should note, that this works just fine to create new printers using an existing driver.
lpadmin -p Printer-Name -L "Printer Location" -E -v lpd://x.x.x.x -o printer-is-shared=false -P "/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/resources/en . . . .."But I'm not sure if it will work for brand new printers on systems that have no drivers on the target system.

No, because these are managed printers and the drivers and very specific functionality is required for them.
Plus I don't want to go and play with CUPS when I could have 170 angry people yelling at me.

Basically, what I want to do is, ensure I can add a brand new printer that no one in the organization has ever used, remotely to their system so I don't have to touch 170 devices.
As well as to add the existing printers, which are going to get re-ip'd and new names.
Lastly, as a perk I'd like to remove the "old printers".

Done that when I wasn't able to sleep earlier this morning.

OKAY this is stupid. .
You do a FACTORY RESET on Apple, and everything you installed or had was previously there. . .

If you tie it to an apple id, yes.

What is this fascination with CUPS? Wasn't someone else trying to do raw printer stuff and I showed clearly that it is not all it takes..
Not to mention, even CUPS tells you to use lpadmin.
