+18Hi folks,
Has anyone run across an issue where the localhost.plist file disappears seemingly randomly? I've opened a case with Apple and their support staff says they have only seen this issue with clients using MCX managed by Casper, but I have not been able to reproduce the issue. It seems to be triggered by moving across network segments that do/don't have MCX applied but there seems to be another factor involved that I can't figure out.
Thanks,
Alex
+35Casper leverages local MCX & refreshes them @ every login.
Maybe something to test?
Manually make some local MCX & refresh the MCX. (There must be some resources on this somewhere).
+18Yeah, there is almost certainly an MCX-related issue here, I am seeing these entries in the system.log which disappear after Casper performs its daily inventory (which is when the localhost file disappears). I assume Casper is doing what the OS is recommending:
ManagedClient[28493]: MCXCCacheGraph(localhost, dsRecTypeStandard:Computers): The record "localhost" (dsRecTypeStandard:Computers) interferes with the computer cache. Delete this record to resume caching.
+4@alexjdale or @bentoms ,
I realize this post is super old but I am running into this exact issue.
@alexjdale did you find a solution to this problem? I will have to educate myself on MCX as I am not familiar.
Any information you can provide would be great. Thank you.
