The setting is not updated. This is either an apple bug, not available on the test system, or a result of system files now being locked down in OS X (SIP Protection).

Warning
This command fails with the following error:
Error, IOServiceOpen returned 0x10000003
The setting is not updated. This is an apple bug. It seems like it may only work on certain versions of Mac Server X. This article explains the issue in more detail, though it is quite old.
