Has anyone had any luck using them? Either the ones you select New From Template or ones you can download and install from jamf nation? We're using Casper 9.5 and CrashPlan PROe 3.6.3.2. None of them seem to produce any results(the only one that works is getting the users GUID). I've tried troubleshooting them in the terminal and as just normal shell scripts myself but with no results.

We have a problem with our current Wifi authentication and FileVault 2 Encrypted Machines: Our laptop users log in with a domain account and password and our wifi is applied via a configuration profile and authenticated with certificates and the domain credentials at login. On non-encryptd machines this works fine. On encrypted machines our authentication to the wifi fails since it seems that the EFI must be unlocked first before you can authenticate. If we login from the FileVault2 login, logout of the account to the standard login window and then login again the authentication works fine. Has anybody else experienced this or have any ideas on why this may be happening?

So we recently had someone printout some documents that seemed slightly questionable and I am looking for a way to see what computer may have been on a specific website by searching web history. Anyone know of a way to search web history for Safari/Firefox/Chrome? I have it narrowed down to a small group of computers but would rather know if they went to this specific website for sure. I could go through the content filter/firewall but thought this would be easier. Gabe ShackneyPrinceton Public Schools

I've ran into an odd problem where a particular type of iMac refuses to apply managed preferences. They're older machines (iMac Intel (Mid 2007) we were thinking about plugging into some third level functionality and I can't recall if we've had this issue previously. So far I've ran into two different iMacs (same model) that have this problem. Tried the various methods for getting managed prefs working and if I run a mcx verbose command, the iMac will display everything it's supposed to apply, just nothing appears in the Managed Prefs folder. JAMF is the only thing managing the devices so there's no conflict with WGM. They otherwise behave as expected (report in to Inventory, can push out software, etc.). Anyone else have this problem and have any suggestions?

Is there a way in Yosemite to disable iCloud Drive, without completely disabling iCloud?

Hi everyone. Not sure how many others have early access to the Casper Suite 8.5 gold master (I'm testing it against open tickets/defects I have with JAMF Support), but I encountered a new issue today in Casper Imaging 8.5, and, I'm just trying to figure out if it has to do with my configurations/environment, or, an actual bug in the software. I have contacted JAMF support about this... I have a shell script that runs as a 'post-imaging' task. It launches three different policies once the imaging is complete and the computer reboots. During the imaging process, I'm getting the following error message when Casper Imaging goes to build the FirstRun Script at the end of the imaging process, where it goes to add my "postimage_desktops.sh" script to the First Run script: "An exception of class NilObjectException was not handled. The application must shut down." This script hasn't changed in about two years, and worked in previous vers

Hi folks, Was hoping to get some direction on an issue where the management tab doesn't load properly. https://www.dropbox.com/s/1zru2evtgue3zdw/Screenshot%202014-10-07%2010.42.14.png?dl=0 I expected to see what smart groups they were a part of etc. Thanks in advance for any tips

I've been playing around with some VM's, I can enroll them to the JSS just fine. I can even scope policies to include the VM, but if I go to create a Configuration Profile and go to target it to the specific VM, it does not show in the list (even though it shows up in the list when creating a policy) Is this a bug, or is this unsupported? I know in a VM it will take the same serial number as the host, so I am wondering if that is part of the issue. JSS v9.3 hosted on Windows Server 2008 r2 thanks!

FYI I can't get http://www.jamfsoftware.com/about/ to load in any of my browsers or devices outside my network. Discovered this while preparing a document for a potential client. When did JAMF and Casper Suite get started?

Hey,I been at this all day and I hope some of you have had luck here. I am trying to work out a smooth transition from an on prem exchange server migration to Office 365. I know all about the fun of only being able to use Applescirpt with outlook for mac, but I can't seem to wrap my head around I need to do here. I considered removing the existing outlook account and adding the new one in, but I don't see how I can script this and my google powers are failing me. The end goal would be to keep the Signature and rules intact if at all possible. Please Help... I summon the Benevolent spirit that is TalkingMoose. ThanksRyan

Hi there, well, I could be dumb asking this but I never faced this before. Recently the new MBP Retina coming in our org is giving this error.Here is what I get as log: Running workflow: 'INSTALL IMAGE MAVERICKS' (B54433AA-18AD-475C-B78D-B1B834HG9GD) Hostname setup action: Task successful (elapsed time: 0.01 minutes) -> Hostname setup action completed.

Hi all! I am working on something pretty simple, but I have gotten myself stuck and promise to give myself 5 lashes with a wet noodle for my oversight.... What I am trying to do is display a message to the user to clear the web cache or cancel the operation, if the user chooses to continue my script should run then display the completed message. If the user selects cancel the script should exit. I feel like I am missing something pretty basic. Thoughts? #!/bin/sh # the purpose of this script is to delete all browser caches. # # # created by Pat B 11/3/14 CLEARCACHE='/Library/Application Support/JAMF/bin/jamfHelper.app/Contents/MacOS/jamfHelper -windowType utility -title "Internet Browser Web Cache" -heading "Please exit all web pages before continuing" -alignHeading center -description "You web browser cache will be cleared when you click the button below. This may take several minutes and you will be notified when the process completes. Thank y

Hi all, I feel like I should know how to do this, but how do I make the title font size larger when it is being viewed in Self Service? On the same note, what about font color and/or type? Is this all html code?

This is my first post here on JAMF Nation Discussions so thank you in advance for looking at my post. Currently our self service is set up so you have to login to download anything. I wanted to create an image and put in place of the "No Self Service Items are Available" this way users do not get confused. I was wondering if this was possible. Thank you in advance.

We are considering disabling iCloud within our organization but we want to know how many of our users are actually using it. Does anyone have a command or know of a policy that we can create to return back which computers have iCloud enabled?

Good morning all,So my normal image creation process is pretty simple...I update a machine to how I want it, then boot to an external drive, open disk utility, click on the drive, then click on "New Image" and save a copy (upload to Casper, blah blah blah). I'm not sure on the appropriate terminology, but normally in Disk Utility when I click on the drive it says something like "500.11 GB Toshiba MK..." and then Disk Utility gives me the options of: First Aid, Erase, Partition, RAID, and Restore. Then if you click on the sub-disk area labeled "Macintosh HD" you get the options of: First Aid, Erase, RAID, and Restore. NOW all I get in Disk Utility is two items labeled "Macintosh HD" and no option to create a "New Image" and save a copy. Is there a way to fix this either in Disk Utility or via upgrade process? I've tried reverting to Mavs and upgrading to YoYo (1) via Self Service; (2) via copied YoYo.app; and (3) redownloading the entire YoYo.app from the App Store. They all result i

I'm looking to configure all of our software deployments and updates done via policies to be managed via Smart Computer Groups. The policy would be set to ongoing and the group would essentially be telling the policy whether to do something or not. We're running 9.6 and in trying to work with the groups I can configure a group to check for systems that don't have a particular piece of software and a group to check if a system needs an updated version but when I try to combine that into one group, I'm having trouble making that work. Has anyone done this? Yes, I could setup and use the two groups but I was hoping to reduce the number of groups. We have a number of different apps so the more we can keep the number of groups down, the better.

Is there a way to filter across multiple logs to check the status on a certain computer across multiple policies? For example, I have many policies running and I want to quickly see what policies have completed, failed or have not yet completed on one particular machine without going into each individual policy.

Just curious what others experiences are! :) Thanks!

We collect an extension attribute to display browser versions for Firefox, Chrome and Safari. I'd like to create a Self Service policy so users can determine their browser versions in a single pop-up window (either jamfhelper or Cocoa Dialog). Anybody have something like this they'd like to share?

? [D-006627] When restarting a computer that has been imaged using Casper Imaging, the computer fails to enroll if attempting to connect to the JSS via an Apple Thunderbolt to Ethernet Adapter This seems like a pretty major bug. What's everyone doing for a work around?

I just upgraded from 9.31 to 9.5 and apparently Self Service no longer parses HTML in the description field. Just wondering if anyone has a workaround or if support for HTML has just been removed altogether.

In previous version of OS X, I was able to edit the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.dockfixup.plist file to remove any persistent dock apps that I did not want in the dock for newly created users. Items like iBooks and Maps are not necessary for us. In Yosemite, I no longer see the com.apple.dockfixup.plist file. It's replaced with a file called com.apple.dock.plist. When I look at that file, I see the following: 1 entry called: DesktopAdminImageGenerationNumber ( this is a Dictionary class)It has another key called: GenerationNumger with a string of 2 Not sure what any of this means. I also tried editing the default plist located in the dock application: System/Library/CoreServices/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/default.plist Still no good. iBooks and Maps still show in the dock. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Keith

I have a cocoadialog script that runs after a package is installed. So, when i have the latest java is installed/updated, a bubble will appear for the user notifying them that Java has been installed/updated. The problem i run into on occasion is that the package fails to install but the script runs anyway. Is there any way around this without having multiple policies and smart groups? Here's a feature request for this that i've created:https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/featureRequest.html?id=2107

Has anyone deployed VMware Fusion 6.0.2 on a Mavericks environment? I read through the documentation provided by JAMF yet it was publish at 2009. The paths mentioned in the documentation doesn't match the current VMWare. I was successfully able to create the VMware Fusion app bundle with our volume license. Created this as a package in Casper Admin. I also was able to create a VMware image that sits under /Users/Shared/Virtual Machines and made a package. The only area where I can't get around is the VMWare App Settings to kick in. Its basically the preference file that indicates VMware that the image file is located under /Users/Shared/Virtual Machines. I dropped the /Users/~/Library/Preferences/com.vmware.fusion.plist and VMware Fusion file into composer, verified the permissions, created a dmg package, uploaded it to my distribution point, set the options to FUT & FEU. When I create a policy and add all 3 packages VMware App, Image and Settings packages all w
