I tried to install, but got an error/notification message "Java 1.8 Required. This must refer to the developers version because I am current on the consumer version. Where do I get 1.8? I must be blind because I am not able to find. Peace, Tom
Hello Tom! This JamfNation article should assist here: https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/articles/28/installing-java-and-mysql
They are broken up based on your server's operating system; just take a quick look at the Java install instructions underneath your server's OS and follow the links. Hope this helps!
I looked at the documentation and I'm still unsure if v10 will allow us to add custom 3rd party applications to patch management that are not part of what JAMF has made available. Can anyone confirm?
@EduTech I reached out to Jamf support and scheduled a date for our instance to be upgraded. Support said that no dates have been set for required updates yet. But we were able to schedule a date that worked best for us.
@danshaw I believe at JNUC they said that at this time there is no support for adding additional third-party apps to patch management. Some correct me if I'm wrong, but I got the sense that that's something they are still investigating.
Maybe I'm little OCD, but you say that Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 1.8 for Windows x64 is required and send me to page that does not have that version. Do I have to assume that 8U151 or 8U152 is code for 1.8?
@russ.fagan 8U151 is the one you want (think of it as Java v1.8.151). If you see odd and even numbered Java releases that are consecutive numbers, the odd one is usually considered the stable one and the even one experimental.
This seems like a pretty huge bug listed in the known issues under JAMF Imaging, unless I'm reading it wrong: Computers with macOS 10.12 or earlier cannot be reimaged with macOS 10.13.
@spraguga Because machines prior to 10.13 require a firmware upgrade to be able to recognize and boot from APFS drives. There currently isn't a way for Casper Imaging to apply those required firmware updates. So Casper Imaging could (assuming they have also added the support to lay down APFS block images) theoretically wipe the boot drive of a 10.12 machine and lay down the block image but as soon as it boots its just going to show a folder because the firmware was not updated. Currently the only Apple supported method for getting that firmware update applied to a machine is running the 10.13 Installer on the machine.
Edit: Jinx. :) This is not a bug.
Apple instructs that the first time a computer is upgraded to OS X 10.13.x it MUST be done using the App Store Installer or Internet Recovery. This is due to model specific firmware updates that are only available through the update process.
@spraguga I'm thinking if you have the "Install macOS High Sierra.app.tar" file in your configuration, it will fail? You'd probably have to upgrade first while logged in or from recovery, then run imaging.
