Getting repeated attempts to set up management framework...

I have a few (a couple dozen out of 2000+) machines that are doing strange things. I first noticed the issue when we were not seeing any application usage data on the Casper server. On further inspection, We saw this repeating over and over and over on the client machines in /var/log/jamf.log. We're running Casper 8.6, the Machines are running 10.8.3 and 10.8.4. We removed the framework and re-added the machines witha quickadd package, but the issue persists. Any thoughts?

    We see this on a regular basis with freshly imaged machines. It's due to a sticky LaunchDaemon. The following commands will restore jamf binary functionality to normal:

    launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.jamfsoftware.task.checkForTasks.plist rm -f /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.jamfsoftware.task.checkForTasks.plist

    This is a homegrown solution to this issue, by the way. Attempts to work with JAMF support have been a bit unsuccessful. Originally, they said this was a bug in 8.6 and that it was fixed in 8.6.2 (if I recall correctly) but we continue to see it in 8.64.

    Just checked my email. The defect was "fixed" in 8.64. From the release notes:

    [D-003247] Fixed an issue with restricted software and application usage monitoring that caused the management framework to be enforced repeatedly.

    We even turned off application usage monitoring and that didn't help, either. As for our workaround, JAMF did not indicate any concern as that LaunchDaemon is supposed to be unloaded and removed automatically.
