So a while ago I edited one of my nbi files to point to a different JSS and now I want to edit it back with out having to create a new netboot installer. However, for the life of me I cannot remember where the file is located. I believe it is a Casper Imaging preference file that contains the JSS DNS info so when you netboot it automatically pulls data from the JSS.

Anyone refresh my memory on this file and it's location? I am currently scouring the Casper Imaging app package contents on my nbi file trying to remember where I put this info at.

Thanks, Tom

    OK Sam was kind enough to remind me where this file exists. Anyone want to send me copies of the files in this location so I can compare it to mine and figure out the diffs?

    It is located in (after you mount your netboot image) /Volumes/Install/private/var/root/Library/Preferences

    There should be some Casper files in there. Thanks in advance if anyone helps

    In case any of you were wondering...which I am sure you all are just dying to find this out, the file is actually called com.jamfsoftware.jss.plist. I recreated it by launching Casper imaging, and then grabbing the pref file out of my own ~/Library/Preferences and will be copying it back to my nbi. That is the file you modify if you need to change the DNS entry of the JSS in your NBI.

    FYI

    Thanks, Tom
