Fails to enroll with DEP

You may have terms and conditions to accept with Apple at deploy.apple.com or school.apple.com.

Already accepted the T&C's.

Also. If we turn off DEP, finish the setup assistant, then turn DEP back on we will get the warning saying "hey, this is part of DEP blah blah" We can finish the enrollment there with no problems.

It must have something to do with the prestage that is jacked up but am out of idea's.

@careybell does the JSS have a public cert or a self signed one?

Also, is it clustered?

We have narrow it down the the account creation. If I remove the "Account Settings" and don't try to create local user everything works fine. If I do anything within "Account Settings" thats when it will fail on us.

To answer your question. It is self signed. Cluster? This is a AWS hosted JSS.

Is anyone able to create local accounts during the setup? Just want to make sure this is not some sort of known bug. Don't really see this being a bug but thought, what the hell I will through it out there.

We are also having this same problem. @bentoms I believe our JSS is clustered.

Hello All,
Any further updates on this matter?
We are a hosted JamF Pro.
I removed the account creation. Nothing.
Tried a default PreStage setup. Nothing
Tried with External Internet Connection. Nothing
Tried with LAN Connection. Nothing.
Switch SSL Certificate Verification to 'Always except during Enrolment'. Nothing.
Not sure when the issue started but the last time I used DEP to image/setup a OS X device it worked. Now it does not. We are running 9.98 (will be 9.99 on Sunday).

cheers.

I've been told by JAMF that in order to use the Account Settings payload you also need to have the Directory payload configured. While it is not called out anywhere if you only configure the Account Settings the entire prestage will fail.

@pueo

Did you get this resolved? Seeing same issue here, with the only differnce being we're now using a public SSL cert.

@ooshnoo

I ended up on a support call with JamF. The issue ended up not being our Hosted JamF but the device it self.
Amongst a few other tid bits below are the instructions JamF Support sent me while on a Web Ex sesh.

Try this out.
If we are no longer being prompted to enroll through DEP, let's proceed through the Setup Assistant as normal. Once we're in, let's do the following:

1. Enable SSH on DEP device and verify you can connect to it from another client
2. Run the following commands on the DEP device: sudo rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone sudo rm -rf /var/db/ConfigurationProfiles/ sudo rm /Library/Keychains/apsd.keychain
3. Re-scope DEP device to PreStage / verify it is already scoped
4. Reboot the DEP device
5. When the DEP device is at the beginning of the Setup Assistant, SSH into it from another client
6. On the other client computer, run ‘tail -f /var/log/system.log’ to watch the DEP enrollments live

Good luck.

Cheers
A.
