I'm having an issue trying to get Yosemite upgrade pushed out to students with locked down computers.
For 10.8 and 10.9 we had it set up to where they'd run a policy putting the installer.app in their applications, and then run a script targeting this the "Install OS X Whatever" executable file to run like so:



/Applications/Install OS X Mountain Lion.app/Contents/MacOS/Install OS X Mountain Lion&



But with 10.10 in the Contents/MacOS/ folder all there is is the InstallAssistant executable. Is there any way to get this to work?

CreateOSXInstallPKG:

We've started rolling out Yosemite via Self Service. Because I want to add some post-upgrade customization, I've been using createOSXinstallPkg and a firstboot package generated by First Boot Package Install Generator.app. So far, people have been upgrading themselves successfully.

I used Munki's createOSXinstallPkg: https://github.com/munki/createOSXinstallPkg



to create a custom installer for it. Worked great and gave me the option to make the install unattended and include scripts to kill the nag screens and what not.

+1 for createOSXinstallPkg. It works great and combined with the first boot script (guide on Rich Trouton's site) you can customize as needed, post install.

Thanks for your help guys, Munki's scripts worked out really well!
