On preinstalled OS X (we’re not imaging), when we add a new Active Directory user account to Active Directory bound Macs that are already Casper members we see an issue nearly identical to the one posted here: https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=15425.



“I’m seeing a few specific folders being created as files as I log into my AD accounts on my new MBAir Image. So far its affecting Calendars, ColorSync, Components, Dictionaries, KeyBindings, Keychains, Mail and QuickLook.”



The chief difference between that post and our issue is that the files are created alongside the user folders, but with similar names to the user folders, and this interferes with keychain access, etc. Once the duplicate named files are manually deleted, the issue is resolved.

This is because one of your packages messed up the default user template. Look for FUT or FEU items in Casper Admin for the configuration you are using and you'll soon find the culprit. Cheers...

Thank you, endor-moon! I marked your response as “solved” not because it was the fix, but because it was very close and led us to the resolution.



It was reported to me that the technician who built the offending package was using a Casper Suite toolset that was a version behind our Casper server version, and that version mismatch caused the issue.
