Dockutil wont install to system

@mvu you know how if you say a word too many times it stops making sense? Thats how my brain became with this issue. I could have sworn i tried just the vanilla pkg and it failed, but this time around it worked. Thank you for the sanity check!

I know you are trying to do this with JSM but you could also install it with Installomator after enrollment. 

Or you can try this script here. It has some checks and balances to install dockutil then refresh the dock with whatever apps you want. Just edit below # variables and applications array under the dockApps=( array.

#!/bin/sh

# # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
#	Verify Dock is running	#
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # #

dockProcess=$(pgrep -l "Dock")
	until [ "$dockProcess" != "" ]; do
  		echo "$(date "+%a %h %d %H:%M:%S"): Dock process not found. Waiting."
  			sleep 2
  			dockProcess=$(pgrep -l "Dock")
	done
		echo "$(date "+%a %h %d %H:%M:%S"): Dock is running. Lets continue."

currentUser=$( echo "show State:/Users/ConsoleUser" | scutil | awk '/Name :/ { print $3 }' )

while true
    do
    	if [[ $currentUser == "root" ]] || [[ $currentUser == "_mbsetupuser" ]] || [[ $currentUser == "loginwindow" ]]; then
    		echo "currentUser is $currentUser"
    			sleep 2
    			currentUser=$( echo "show State:/Users/ConsoleUser" | scutil | awk '/Name :/ { print $3 }' )
        else
        	break
        fi
	done
