Hey kids,
We've got an autoDMG build we've been using with great success here, prior to our Casper instance got stood up. Makes great pristine 10.9.4 (and now 10.9.5) images to which we add with a first boot script. We then apply that DMG successfully to any number of Mac models we deploy.
Once we got our JSS, I uploaded that same DMG into our DistroPoint and then deployed with Casper Imaging. The results: an unrecognizable image: finder prefs, dock prefs, wallpaper prefs, account prefs and more weren't laid down correctly. Initially, I thought the issue might be with our first boot script. That script sets a few prefs, enables a few accounts (including the same mgmt account that casper creates), etc. So I created a second DMG with everything from our original pristine image except for that pkg: Applications, Utilities, Printer drivers, etc. Nothing special here: mostly an OS with a few extra, small apps.
But that DMG failed to lay down correctly as well. Both of these DMGs lay down perfectly with Disk Utility, so clearly the image isn't the issue here: it's the tools being used to lay down the image. Or... maybe not.
If anyone has seen this behavior before or has any suggestions, lemme know. We have a hosted JSS with JAMF in their cloud, v9.32.
Cheers,
