How can AirDrop be disabled?

Question

I want to disable AirDrop so that my users do not have access to it but I have not been able to find a place to disable this feature.

The closest thing i have found is this thread but I don't know where to disable it.

Could someone explain to me how to do this?

User-specific (via preferences)

defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.NetworkBrowser DisableAirDrop -bool YES
