Hi, We are having difficulties with deploying Adobe Flash player update 16.0.0.305 and also MS Office updates. I have seen previous posts of copying the .app file from the Contents folder of the flash pkg and then launching that with a script however in this version of adobe it doesn't have .app under the MacOS folder. It has Install "Install Adobe Flash Player" terminal command. Is there a way to launch that? Is this something that we can use for MS Office updates as well? Command found for deploying adobe 11...sudo /Volumes/Flash Player/Install Adobe Flash Player.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Flash Player Install Manager -install Is there a guide that someone can point us toward? Thank you in advance!

I might be missing something here but I have just gone ahead with the upgrade to v9.64 and can see in the release notes there is an update adding the ability to remotely set the wallpaper on iOS devices. We currently have just under 100 iPads on site here at a school and remotely setting the wallpaper to a pre-defined image would be ideal for student use. I know previously this was locked down by Apple. Has anyone managed to do this successfully yet, as I can't seem to find it.

Is it possible to put 2 different commands in the 'execute command' section of the payload 'files and processes'? I currently have an lpadmin -p ........ command in it and wanted to see if it was possible to also add an additional command such as jamf policy -trigger <triggername> would i need to separate the two with a comma, semicolon ?

With the current lack of categories for smart/static groups, I just wanted to see how others were organizing their groups in the JSS? Our list of smart/static groups has been rapidly increasing and we are finding that we have a lot of duplicate groups created by multiple admins. I would really love to clean this up and thought I would see what everyone else is doing to combat this.

It looks like the 9.6.4 download has been removed and the most current version is now 9.6.3. Does anyone know anything about this?

I have one ipad 4 on current ios. It does not have Airplay anymore. Does anyone know how to get it back? This iPad is not supervised by JSS. Thank you!

Since Casper Suite v9.5 and now with 9.6, a Self Service policy I've create to do a recon update via Maintenance > Update Inventory does not work. It goes through the motion but no new info is reported and no error is displayed to the user. The jamf log on the client indicates the policy, but no signs of a recon taking place in the JSS. As a work around, I've removed the Maintenance task and added the command "jamf recon" to Files and Processes > Execute Command. Anyone else offer a recon policy within Self Service that is not working?

I enable user initiated enrollment, made no changes to 'general' 'messaging' and 'access' tabs', but made changes in the 'platforms' tab Changes are:-- enabled user initiated enrollment for computers-- set mgmt username/password, create mgmt account, hide,ssh enable When doing URL enrollment from mbpro, I am asked to 'login to enroll device' so I login with a Site username/password, next page asks for 'assign to user', what do I put here? What user is it wanting to assign it to? A user account already on that mbpro? If I keep it blank and press the enroll button it goes to the next page 'download and install this package' I click the download button and the next page has the 'install the downloaded quick add.pkg' progress circle, but nothing downloads. running 9.64

I see constantly in jamf.log 'network state changed, checking for policies.... 'checking for policies triggered by network state change' my network state is not changing, what is causing this? whats considered a 'network state change'?

I manage a Site, JSS admin has setup check-in to occur every hour , Should I create separate printer drivers policies and place them in self service along with separate policies in self service to add the printers associated with those drivers?Thus the user would have to install the driver(s) first, then secondly install the printer(s) via self service. OR should I create one single policy for each printer, each policy installing the driver package and the printer, then put it in self service? Curious to hear others opinions and ways they deploy printers via policy. These are network printers.

Hello All, I'm in a bit of a predicament and seeking your advice. I would like to keep our environment of about 400 macs updated with Firefox as Mozilla releases updates. My goal is to update Firefox on each machine without losing everyone's personalized bookmarks. I am able to do this just fine, but I also want to customize the update to turn off "Update Notifications" popups. This is to prevent tens of help desk tickets from being submitted every time employees see the annoying "Update Available" pop up on their screens. I have been able to create a policy that disables the "Update Available" popup by using a snapshot in composer. However, by creating the snapshot, everyone's personal bookmarks are lost after deploying the new package. Does anyone know of a way to create a Firefox package without losing bookmarks, and disabling the "Update Available" notification?

Hi, I just created a new CS6 enterprise package, this is the error I receive when I push it out to a Mac using Casper remote 9.64, I've been unable to find an explanation for error ** -[NSPlaceholderString initWithString:]: nil argument *.

I created a base OS for OS X.10 yosemite using AutoDMG. -- Setup a configuration-- target mode imaging-- target disk mode a mb pro-- connect mbpro to imac that is running Casper imaging-- after it finishes I remove the firewire 800 cable from mbpro and restart it.

printers deployed via policy (Self Service) have the 'share this printer on the network' CHECKED. How do I get this to deploy UN-CHECKED ?The printer is being uploaded UN-checked, .

Does the script exit code: 0 mean that the policy was not applied? And does the script exit code: 1 mean that the policy was applied?

Hey all:I find smatterings in different discussions about this but I thought it would be nice to have a clean thread about this. With the Apple VPP for education, it is easy to assign apps to users but it doesn't appear to be support for assigning apps to shared desktops in a computer lab environment. What is the best practice for this? Download the app and package it and just push it out? and do that for each time there is an app store app update? That seems to be a rather cumbersome way of doing it.

Hi all, Recently i upgraded my JSS and JDS to 9.64. According to the release notes issue 'D-005796' should be fixed. But still i can't image from my JDS instance, we get the following error;--There was an error. Could not find an existing configuration to modify-- In this discussion people struggle with the same problem, https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=9144Assuming that 'jwojda' is right, the cause should be 'D-005796'. I can't find more useful logs on the client.On the server side (an Ubuntu box) i've investigated dmesg, syslog and my jamf.log, but no useful info found so far. Can anyone give me a push in the right direction?

does creating a hidden admin account NOT create that hidden admin account a home folder? I don't see one. Not sure if I could just ignore this error or not, all is working fine, but after casper imaging a mac that has a hidden admin account created, I take a look at the /var/log/jamf.log and i see 'Failed to set the attributes of /users/HIDDENADMINACCOUNT/Library/Preferences/ com.jamfsoftware.selfservice.plist: Error: Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4 "The file "com.jamfsoftware.selfservice.plist" doesn't exist"UserInfo=0x7c06dff0 {NSFilePath=/Users/HIDDENADMINACCOUNT/Library/Preferences/com.jamfsoftware.selfservice.plist, NSUnderlyingError=0x7c06dc70 "The operation couldn't be completed.

Casper Version 8.6Mountain Lion Although I have specified the computer name in the field for Casper Imaging and updated the information on the JSS with the checkmark as well, after imaging a system I notice that the computer has no name, all I get is localhost. Anyone else seen this issue?

So I was looking at some iPads I deployed sometime ago using Apple Configurator. Last summer I brough them all in (about 220 units,) wiped them, used configurator to install iOS 5.1, all supervised, and named according to the Teacher they were given out to and enrolled into the JSS with an enrollment profile. Haven't seen the iPads since. Last few weeks I've had a few come back with misc problems and I noticed within the Supervision Profile the "Signing Certificate" and "Certificate" for Apple Configurator both expire on August 13, 2013. Anyone know what will happen on/after August 13, 2013 with these units?

I ran across a weird issue where the About This Mac info box shows a number instead of "OS X Yosemite". external image link It's not related to the image since I imaged two Macs simultaneously (same AutoDMG image through DeployStudio) and only one of the computers have this issue. This doesn't seem to affect performance, it's just weird. I've tried repairing disk permissions which had no effect. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'd like to avoid re-installing the machine since it's such a "small" issue.

PRIOR to dragging it into Casper Admin I would like to change the name of the dowloaded Apple OS X installer app from "Install OS X Yosemite.app" to "MY DEPT OS X Yosemite.app" , will changing this name have a negative effect on Casper admins doing its conversion to "Install OS X Yosemite.InstallESD.dmg" ? I also plan to do this name change for previous OS X downloads ( Install OS X Mavericks.app etc..) I am not sure if changing the *.app name will confuse casper admin (I am going to create policy to upgrade imacs/mbpro/mbairs via users using Self Service)

We created a test ubuntu VM (Production will most likely RHEL) just to play with JSS/JDS before setting up production. Following instructions we got JSS up and running, generated self signed cert then ran JDS install. Looking at the output everything seems to have worked fine, I pasted the output below. When we launch Casper Admin I get an error that it can't connect to the JDS. I tried to use a browser to go to https://DEV-CASPER/CasperShareDAV and received 404 Not Found error. It shows up in in JSS as a Master DP. What am I missing? P.S. JSS and JDS are on the same server. sudo ./JDS-Linux-Installer-9.52.runVerifying archive integrity...

We are on OS X 10.8.2 and we identified an issue with Kerberos single sign-on.Users get re-authentication prompts after an initial successful print to their SMB print queues. Kerberos ticket will get created at login but ticket will get destroyed once after an initial successful print and prompts for re-authentication at then next print. "klist" shows a valid ticket after login but will be empty after I print for the very first time. Has anyone seen this behavior?
