Hi, we have a local admin account on our workstations and are required to reset the password on this once per quarter. Our local admin account isn't the same as our management account, we keep those separate.
We've been using a Local Account payload to do this for the last year without issue, however I'm suddenly seeing a lot of machines suddenly failing this task in the latest round of resets.
Executing Policy Quarterly Password Reset Error resetting the password for user sledgehammer
If I SSH to the machines which have failed and use passwd to reset the password manually, it works fine. I've also confirmed that the username specified is the local admin account on those machines.
I've tried creating a new policy with a different password and sending that to a few machines which are failing to run this task, but it fails with the same non-descript error.
I've also had a look in /var/log/jamf.log in case there's anything more verbose in there but no joy. Does anyone have any ideas as to what this issue could be, or a workaround for this?
