I found several sparse tidbits on deploying LogMeIn, so I figured I'd share.

The script should be a simple drop-in to JSS 9.7 to deploy the LogMeIn software. It downloads the latest version of the client, rather than having you package a stale version. You could fairly easily modify it if you want ot manually control versions, but this was fine for our needs.

To use:
1. Add to Casper Admin/JSS like any normal script
2. In your Policy, set varible #4 (deployid) to be your Deployment ID (see note)
3. Deploy silently or advertise via Self Service

Note
In order to get a Deployment ID, you need to be using LogMeIn Central.
1. Log in to Central
2. Create a new Deployment
3. The ID is the "c" URL parameter in the link that the deployment will generate

#!/bin/sh

#   LogMeIn for Mac silent deployment script
#   In order to use, you must be a subscriber of LogMeIn Central
#
#   To get a Deploy ID, log in to Central, click Deployments, then create a new one
#   Customize the settings as you see fit
#   The Deploy ID is part of the URL that is generated
#   ex. https://secure.logmein.com/i?l=en&c=xyz
#   xyz is the Deploy ID
#
#   Tested on OS X 10.10.5 (Yosemite) with JSS 9.73
############################################

############################################
#   Set the deploy ID via command line argument
#   
#
DEPLOYID=$4  #Change to 1 if not using Casper Suite
#
echo "Deploy ID is: $DEPLOYID"
############################################

echo "Running LogMeIn host install"

# Change working directory to /tmp
cd /tmp

# Clean up any existing LogMeIn install files first
rm -rf /tmp/LMI

# Create working folder, LMI doesn't like being in the root of /tmp
mkdir LMI
cd LMI

# Download LogMeIn Mac  software
echo "Downloading LogMeIn installer"
curl -O https://secure.logmein.com/LogMeInInstallerMac.zip

# Extract the installer
echo "Unzipping LogMeIn installer"
unzip LogMeInInstallerMac.zip

# Get the versioned file name
FILE="$(ls | grep LogMeIn*.app)"
echo "File name is: $FILE" 

# Write the deploy ID as an extended attribute on the install package
echo "Setting deploy ID as attribute"
xattr -w com.logmein.deployid $DEPLOYID "$FILE"
echo "Reading deploy ID attribute to confirm"
xattr -p com.logmein.deployid "$FILE"

# Run the silent install
echo "Running the LogMeIn installer"
./"$FILE"/Contents/MacOS/Lili --silent

# Remove temp files
echo "Cleaning up temp files"
rm -rf /tmp/LMI

echo "Exiting with success"
exit 0

AMAZING!
Thanks

Good day all. I wanted to update this to let everyone know that I was able to make this work on 10.11.6 with JSS 9.93.1469132907.c : hosted server. I was able to run it as is. I had a little confusion on the "In your Policy, set variable #4 (deployid) to be your Deployment ID (see note)" I had to make a batch file within logmein central and then copy the unique ID for Line 4. Hope this helps anyone else out there trying to deploy LMI via a deployment package from LMI Central.

I wanted to post that I have made use of this today and the script works fine. Thank you for sharing this with the group.

I got the command from logmeincentral below:

msiexec.exe /i LogMeIn.msi DEPLOYID=01_fxbvgtml9pcdbf7q3sq04iw3u3p7zfny2vrmp INSTALLMETHOD=5 FQDNDESC=1

so is my deploy ID is 01? or is it 01_fxbvgtml9pcdbf7q3sq04iw3u3p7zfny2vrmp

and do I modify the script below to be like this?

Set the deploy ID via command line argument

DEPLOYID=$01_fxbvgtml9pcdbf7q3sq04iw3u3p7zfny2vrmp #Change to 1 if not using Casper Suite

EDIT: I got it to work! The deployID is the entire string so in this example, DeployID is: 01_fxbvgtml9pcdbf7q3sq04iw3u3p7zfny2vrmp and I was confused as another poster mentioned of the ID4 in the policy. To clarify for those that are new to JAMF, when you create a new policy, and point to this new script, at the section where Parameter 4 is where you enter the DeployID string.

Guys this is awesome! Thanks so much for everyone that has given their feedback and various tips here.

Install works without an issue. However, I still run into the issue where I have to approve accessibility control via sysprefs. Has anyone managed to identify a way to automate this?
