We have one department on campus that does some of their own lab management - so we have a special account created for them. Since we switched to Casper, I created a new policy that will create the account for their computers.

The account is there, but the password is not right. I just used remote to create a new account with the password "test" - and when it was done, I couldn't log into the machine.

Help? It's like 60 machines, so if I have to do it by hand, I can, but I'd prefer not to...

What method are you using to create the account in the policy? In the Accounts tab? A separate script? Calling the jamf binary createAccount verb?

I was using the Accounts tab in the policy. I also used the Accounts tab in the Remote tool.
