Never heard of HipChat but the consensus seems to be it beats the pants off of Campfire.



Good with that, loving how it is a simple drag install, unfortunately haven't found any info on suppression. Other than a checkbox in it's preferences that is off by default:







Anyone deploy this yet? How are you disabling updates?



There seems to be a checkMinorUpdates key that only exists when you check the update box, then you can toggle between 1 (on) and 0 (off):



bash-3.2$ defaults read ~/Library/Preferences/com.hipchat.HipChat

{

    HockeySDKAutomaticallySendCrashReports = 0;

    HockeySDKCrashReportActivated = 1;

    "MASPreferences Selected Identifier View" = General;

    NSInitialToolTipDelay = 3;

    "NSWindow Frame hipchat_login" = "-1402 -272 250 375 -1440 -297 1440 900 ";

    SULastCheckTime = "2015-12-09 06:31:05 +0000";

    accounts = "{}";

    checkMinorUpdates = 0;

    selectedCamera = 35f7b54ff30d0ea4a5e9d351c13af3cd63784413;

    selectedCameraName = "FaceTime HD Camera";

    selectedMic = 0;

    selectedMicName = "Built-in Microphone";

    selectedSpeaker = 1;

    selectedSpeakerName = "Built-in Output";

}

bash-3.2$


Moving this key to /Library doesn't stop user from enabling the box. So looks like this is a user level setting only. :(



Thought I'd bounce this off JAMF Nation folks, we're going to test as soon as I can get a HipChat account, of course with the key set to 0 (off).



Judging from the excitement about this app, hoping to be ready to deploy suppressed when they give the OK.



TIA,
Don

Works for me.

@bpavlov awesome, user level?

I do computer level, but I imagine user level would work just the same.

Their developer is responding to a thread over at their forum, if anyone is interested.



PS, apologies for cross posting, the info might be useful if you're deploying HipChat.

Hi donmontalvo....can you help me on this discussion ?

Hey donmontalvo,



How are you deploying the update suppression? Are you just pushing that as a script via policy after you install the app or putting it as a script in your package when you install it? I'm a pretty green Casper guy in my company with limited scripting knowledge, so any help would be appreciated.



Thanks.



Tom
