Testing 10.10 Image on Casper 9.52 using Casper Admin drag-n-drop compile

I apologize if this has already been asked - I searched and didn't find anything on it.

Has anyone else tried compiling the 10.10 GM Developer Preview into an image using Casper Admin on 9.52? We'd like to test the image through Casper Imaging but it won't compile through the normal method of dragging and dropping the installer into Admin. (I can get it to work by creating the installer through Disk Utility and creating a separate Recovery HD image, but wanted to see if anyone has had any luck with the basic Admin imaging.)

I know this isn't in Production yet, but I was wondering if anyone else had seen this and/or had any suggestions.

The error message box is huge, but here it is:

Have you tried using the AutoDMG beta https://github.com/MagerValp/AutoDMG/releases
with 10.10 support to see if that will compile a DMG for imaging?

Try the beta of AutoDMG. Have to run it on a 10.10 machine, and have the Install OS X Yosemite.app handy:

https://github.com/MagerValp/AutoDMG/releases/tag/v1.5b359

Thanks for the quick responses - I hadn't tried that. Other methods for making the image seem to work, I just wanted to know if anyone has had any luck with the built-in feature(s) we're already using with our 10.9.x image creation.

or wait for the 10.10 supporting patch for the JSS...

I guess I should have also searched using "Yosemite." Found this as well. I'm linking it here for anyone else who might not search by the name. https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=11349

Thanks again to all who answered.
