Has anyone been able to install CB Response via self service.



I created a package with the following steps in composer:




  • private mpCBResponsefilename.pkg



post install script:



#!/bin/sh

## postinstall



sudo installer -pkg "/private/tmp/CBResponse/CBResponseClientSetup.pkg" -target /



delay 60



sudo rm -r /private/tmp/CBResponse





exit 0      ## Success

exit 1      ## Failure


Self service reports a successful installation but the computer doesn't show up as a sensor.



If I run the pkg on a computer and go through the prompts it installs just fine.

Hi victor,



You can create an easily deployable pkg by creating a .pkg.zip file for Casper Suite similar to the Adobe Production Premium CS6 method. The easiest way to do this is by running the following command:



cd /Path/to/CB/folder/
zip -r -X ~/Desktop/CarbonBlack.pkg.zip *
This will create a ZIP file that contains all of the files that were in the folder.
Casper Suite can deploy this format natively.



You have to have the sensor settings.ini file in the same folder as the original PKG.

Awesome! I was able to created the .pkg.zip and the installer worked perfectly. I can see the computer as a sensor now.

@victor.pena After creating the .zip file with the necessary files inside, how did you deploy it using jamf pro?



thank you for your help.

@victor.pena Nevermind I got it...thank you anyways!

@osxadmin I just create a package using composer that puts the files in a specific folder, then run a script to install.



#!/bin/bash

This script installs the Carbon Black 6.1.3 client and will uninstall the old client when applicable



This will uninstall any previously installed McAfee agents, remove comment when ready



/Applications/CarbonBlack/sensoruninst.sh

This will install the Carbon Black client for Mac's



/usr/sbin/installer -package /Library/CorpFiles/Packages/Carbon Black_6_1_3/CarbonBlackClientSetup_6_1_3_71222.pkg -target /

sleep 10

chflags hidden /Applications/CarbonBlack

exit 0


This allows me to do it all in one policy.

@jconte thank you!
