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?

Hello all - my first attempt at applescript (raised on windows - sorry-) I created this script using data from the simple 'Get System Info' - It is supposed to display the user name that is logged in, computer name, ip address, and Mac address. - there is also a button to capture a screenshot for support purposes. I have it set as a policy so the user can run in self service to supply the info to the helpdesk. A few issues when run via self service:1. Shows 'root' as logged in user - I'm guessing because casper runs under these credentials?2. shows my mac address as my wifi connection mac address even though wifi is disabled,3. shows my ipaddress as 'missing value' - which happens with wifi enabled or disabled. does anyone know how I can pull this data from the current active network connection? I did go over the following link: https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=11243but can't figure out how to add mac address to the sol

Hey guys, I'm facing a problem where it seems, that some scripts are cached somehow. When I look at the policy Logs everything is fine, my Script is downloaded. But i changed the script recently and the old version is executed. When I download the script file manually, I get the new Version. At the moment, this occurs on a script run by the LoginHook trigger, but I'm sure, that I seen this behavior also on a normal policy some time ago. Renaming the script gets the new version executed, but this is obviously not a solution for every script. Is there a known caching directory used by the jamf binary? If I look at the /Library/Application Support/JAMF/ directory, there is no cached script, not even in a renamed version. Problems caused by multiple Distribution Pionts can be excluded, as we only have one. Any hints? Thank you! Oliver Kett

Hello, I am trying to create a Extension Attribute to show me which computers have a network called LP-Admin in their preferred network list. I found this script which will show all of their networks on a Macbook Air networksetup -listpreferredwirelessnetworks en0 Not sure if that will be helpful for the script or not. I am completely new to scripting any help will be much appreciated.

I have the following data inside a plist <dict> <key>AdminUnit</key> <dict> <key>Date</key> <date>2013-10-12T06:07:27Z</date> <key>Value</key> <string>GLX_DUD</string> </dict> I'm interested in extracting the <string>GLX_DUD</string> to build a smart group from that string to create an extension attribute. Here's what I've tried which is not working. Any help would be appreciated.

I had a printer driver install setup in Self-Service it worked as expected. I then removed it from Self-Service and set the trigger for Recurring Check-In. Looks like recurring-checkin is set at 1 hour by JSS administrator. to test this policy trigger changeI deleted One test machine (originally installed the driver via self-service) from the JSS and also ran jamf -removeFramework from that machine, and the re-enrolled that same mac using QuickAdd package. Re-curring check-in has past and the driver did not re-install. Should it re-install? The logs for this policy says 'Pending' for this mac. I did a sudo jamf recon command and still nothing. I have recently also checked the trigger for 'Enrollment Complete' because when macs get enrolled we want them to immediately get these drivers installed. I have never before setup 2 triggers on the same policy, is this a problem? even after setting the additional trigger to enrollment complete, it still has not ru

not sure if this is a problem or not, or a huge concern, but I have an enrolled computer that is checking in but the Application Usage Logs has not updated, it is still at 2/10/2015. Computer has been used from 9am-5pm each day, turned off at 5pm. Should this be a concern?

I just found a wonderful little iOS app called Active Directory Assist (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/active-directory-assist/id528953910?mt=8) that allows you to do some basic AD user management from your phone (namely, unlocking a user's account, and resetting a user's password). I'm wondering if anyone knows of a similar application for the Mac. All I really need to be able to do is reset a user's password or unlock the password. It'd be really handy to be able to see users whose passwords are expiring as well. It'd just be nice if I didn't have to load up remote desktop and log into the AD server to do simple tasks like that.

I've written an extension to basically grep the number from the name of a text file we used in our old imaging method to keep track of the image version installed on machines. The file is /Restore/ Image Version 6.5.3.txt (Note the space at the beginning of the file, and we used RTF at one point in time and switched to TXT). The script works on it's own, but no results are returned from the extension. the script is... #!/bin/bash Filename=`ls /Restore/ Im*` if [ -z "$Filename" ]; then Bar="N/A" else Foo=${Filename#/Restore/ Image Version } Bar=${Foo%.*} fi echo $Bar The data type is set to string, the inventory display is set to Extension attributes. Is there a place to look and see the results of extensions so I can see what the problem is?

Anybody know if AutoDMG is downloading the updated ARD 3.8.2 v1.1 client or the old one?

I created a policy for deploying Yosemite via Self Service, with one requirement being that the system have 10.6.8 or newer, based on the information from this article: http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/ And this link:iTunes.apple.com However the upgrade failed on a system running 10.6.8. This is the log entry and it says 10.7 is required. Executing Policy OS X Yosemite - Install Cached... [STEP 1 of 1] Verifying package integrity... Installing Install OS X Yosemite.InstallESD.dmg... Preparing for in-place OS upgrade... OS X Installer is for 10.10.1. Must be 10.7 or later to deploy it as an upgrade. Closing package... Blessing in-place OS upgrade directory... Creating Reboot Script... I'll just upgrade this box to Mavericks first, but where does the discrepancy lie? I'm successfully using this same policy to upgrade from OS versions newer than 10.6.78, so I know I have the correct download (I downloaded it via the Mac App Store). Has anyone run across this?

What's this that I found in the release notes for 9.4? Personal Device Management—Users can now enroll personally owned iOS and *Android* devices with the JSS via user-initiated enrollment. This allows users to securely access institutional email, contacts, calendar, Wi-Fi, and VPN connections. In addition, managed apps can be distributed to personal iOS devices. You can also enforce device encryption and passcode settings on personal devices, and send remote commands to lock a device or wipe institutional data and settings from a device.

Just curious, I haven't tried it yet but I have a mac enrolled but NOT AD Bound. I am going to now AD Bind it via 'directory utility'. Afterwords will the JSS recognize it then being AD Bound and update its record from Not AD Bound to AD Bound ?

Anybody familiar with this? http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/sep-121-ru5-corrupting-yosemite We are currently planning our Yosemite deployment strategy and SEP is one of the required applications for our environment. Just wanted to see if anyone else around here has seen the issue.

Hi all I have very recently started testing Yosemite in a test environment using 9.63 and I have hit a snag with my login script. I run the login script via a policy set to run at login with frequency set at ongoing. The script does a number of things which include launching a second script as the user which does some syncing using rsync. On Mavericks with Casper 9.32, this identical setup of script via login policy allowed the user to get to the desktop while I displayed some information and while the sync completed. On Yosemite with Casper 9.63, the desktop is NOT displayed until the scripts have completed and there can be quite a delay while the sync takes place. Has anyone noticed this and does anyone have a work around for it? If not then I might have to start launching the syncing via a launch agent.

Hello all, I just installed VMWare Fusion 7 on a loaded Mac Pro running Yosemite. I would like to install my current Casper image as a VM to do some testing instead of rebuilding and test a Mac Book Pro that I imaged at least 20 times. In all I would like to have several Casper images as VM's on this box so web developers and others can test the image. How do you go about doing this? Thanks

Hello, our boss is wanting to drop Casper Suite for our iOS deployment (but keep for our OSX devices) and save money and switch to Meraki MDM. We previously used Meraki system manager for our MDM, but switched to Casper November 2014. Are there any real advantages using Casper over Meraki for our iOS MDM? I have had look at both of our MDM portals and searched online and there is not a great deal in it in what I am seeing. I hope that I am incorrect, but any advice would be definitely be appreciated. Many thanks in advance David

Hi All, I think I came across how to do this somewhere in the black hole that is the internet, but can't seem to find it again. Would anyone know if there is a way to display a message to a user when an app has been added to their Self Service app for them to download and install?

I am looking to put software into Self Service scoped only to computers that do not have the software. I have created a few policies to do that, but something is setup wrong. It looks like the software is installing on the computer instead of waiting in Self Service. Any idea what went wrong?

My understanding is that when Apple comes out with new hardware today that it ships with Yosemite and it's not possible to reimage it with an earlier version like Mavericks. I'm not sure about schools, but financial companies and government agencies cant just upgrade right away. Many requirements need to be met before moving to the next version like meeting security benchmarks and validating application compatibility. Is there a way to take a system that ships with Yosemite and load Mavericks on it? I wasn't able to NetBoot or boot from a thumb drive with Mavericks on it. If not, what are others doing in-between the time Apple comes out with a new OS and a 3rd party (like CIS) release a security benchmark? In some cases it's not released until after Apples already moved on to a new OS.
