ARD and Casper Admin

I've got an odd Apple Remote Desktop issue with Casper Admin.

When I need to use the Option key trick to point Casper Admin to a different JSS, the Option key thing doesn't work. It just takes me to the last used JSS and I don't get the window to change the JSS.

At first I thought no Option key keystrokes are hitting the remote Macs, however I can use the Option key to expand and contract folder hierarchies in the Finder. Opening bookmark folders with the Option key also works in Safari. So I know my local Mac is successfully sending Option key commands to remote Macs.

Thoughts?

@gskibum As another approach, are you familiar with @jtratta's SwitchJSS ?

I have this issue too @gskibum , happened after an earlier of 10.12 patch. You probably have issues dragging packages onto Casper Admin too?

I haven't had any issues with dragging packages. Do you use the Option key when dragging packages or did the package dragging issue come along for the ride?
