Hi Folks,
We have in ALL of our lab deployment and employee deployment policies, a firmware password payload is configured in all lab/staff deployment policies. Essentially, all of our Macs have this EFI password configured.
When re-imaging, we remove the Mac from the JSS so it starts fresh and clean. We provide the correct name in Casper imaging and once the original OS is laid down, the name of the Mac will determine the workflow. With this, the lab deployment will begin to be applied, including the aforementioned EFI password.
Because there is an EFI password already configured, this causes the message to come back as NULL in the log file. While this specific issue isn’t a true error, the policy is showing up as failed.
The problem here is after a period of time, these failures are showing up as a false positives. I don't want to assume every time I see a failure in a policy that it is truly a new thing as opposed to the EFI password thing interfering.
Anyone else running into this and how are you getting around it when you re-image a Mac? Do I remove the password PRIOR to imaging? Just some random thoughts to talk it through.
Thank you
