Hi,
I would like to remove a firmware password on machines have OS X 10.7 and others have OSX 10.8.
I created a policy which will copy the setregproptool depending on the OSX version to the /Library/Application support/JAMF/bin folder, Then added to the policy to run the following command:
/Library/Application Support/JAMF/bin/setregproptool -d -o 'current firmware password'
It says it was completed and run the policy but the machine still have the firmware password if I try to run the command manually into terminal it works and the firmware password removed.
I tried to run the EFI Password feature on the JSS as well with NONE value to remove it. it was asking for the current firmware password and timing out.
I would appreciate someone to tell me what am I missing here.



1- Is there any known issue with the JSS to run a command as it worked before for me when I setup firmware password.
2- Do I need to include the current firmware password somewhere in my policy for EFI Password feature on JSS?



Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

See my prior thread and solution offered by @plawrence here... good luck. You do need the current password for current macs.

CasperSally,



Thank you so much for your suggestion but it didn't work for me.



Interestingly, Today I updated the JSS to v9.32 and that fixed the Execute Command feature in Files and Processes load.



I didn't need the current password as I mentioned it in my command in the Execute Command Field.



/Library/Application Support/JAMF/bin/setregproptool -d -o 'current firmware password'
