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. Restore action: Looking for the first available disk: Boot device='/dev/disk0' Repository device='(null)' >> '/dev/disk0': boot disk >> '/dev/disk22': ok /usr/sbin/diskutil partitionDisk /dev/disk22 1 GPTFormat "Journaled HFS+" DS_DEV_DISK_X 1B 2>&1 Started partitioning on disk22 Unmounting disk Error: -69877: Couldn't open device /usr/sbin/diskutil mountDisk /dev/disk22 2>&1 Seems it is not able to partition it. Has anyone faced and idea to fix it? And yes, this is coming with 10.10 Mac.

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

Student set a passcode and turned off WiFi. The device is supervised and running iOS 8.1. When it is plugged into a computer, iTunes will not connect to it until the passcode has been entered. I'm open to wiping it, but not sure how to make that happen without WiFi or iTunes.

Hi, For a department I need to run the Wirelurker script i found in this topic: https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=12494 This is a python script. I need to download the script via a curl -O command, and then run it with python. Locally on my Mac this is no problem but I want to automate this in JSS if possible. I want to make a smart computer group to see whether or not an infection has been found.I know I can run scripts in JSS, but I havent found the best way to do it for this particular script. I don't want the user to be able to do this via self service. Hope somebody can put me on the right track. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Has anyone had problems removing Configuration Profiles manually (using the profiles command from Terminal) on machines upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite? Apple is telling me that the error I'm receiving is due to the profiles that are pushed via the JSS have PayloadRemovalDisallowed set to true and no password which apparently prevents the removal of these profiles manually in 10.10. I've also noticed that my fresh Yosemite machines are not deploying Configuration Profiles at all so this may be related. I'm on JSS 9.2.

Hi all, I'm working on a script that will pop up a dialog using the standard AppleScript dialog box to the user to prompt for installing software updates. This script works perfectly fine if run locally (sudo ./SUSUpdate.sh) or if I run it using a custom trigger (sudo jamf policy -trigger SUSUpdate). But when it runs in a recurring check-in trigger, the dialog box fails to display and an AppleScript error is thrown. Here's the section of the script that's throwing the error: prompt=`sudo osascript << EOT tell app "System Events" Activate display dialog "A critical update for your computer - $ForceUpdateRequired - addresses a significant security vulnerability and needs to be installed. Do you want to install it now?" with title "Software Update Required" buttons {"Not Now", "Install"} default button 1 with icon file "Library:Application Support:JAMF:bin:Software

Can anyone explain precisely what this profile management setting does precisely? I understand that if you enforce FileVault encryption though profile manager you need to use this, but will it redirect a recovery key of an already encrypted machine to the JSS?

Hey everyone! My job wants to send me off for some training in something/anything I'm interested in. I'm trying to figure out what I want and I'm asking for your suggestions. Some day I want to make iOS apps/games and I know Objective-C is the way to go. I'm not sure if Objective-C is really pertinent to my job as a Mac admin though. Maybe a Python class would be the most useful. I'm okay with shell scripting but could always learn more. What do you think I'd benefit from the most? - Jamie

Hi Folks, I have written a launchdaemon and I believe it is executing on first boot. However, I would like to wait until the second boot, as first boot after Casper Imaging, Casper is running its own tasks and I suspect the system is being restarted before my tasks are complete. How do I detect Casper's post-boot activity to avoid this conflict? Here is the code of my launchdaemon. I called it com.orgname.firstboot instead of my actual institution's name just for illustration here. [Edited this post and removed LaunchOnlyOnce switch. I got some excellent feedback on that already.] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"><plist version="1.0"><dict> <key>Label</key> <string>com.orgname.firstboot</string> <key>Disabled</key> <true/> <key>

Has anyone else seen the new Office 14.4.5 update quit out of Google Chrome without warning? I just added the Microsoft distributed package directly to Casper Admin and created a policy to push out on the recurring trigger. As soon as it begins, without warning, it quits out of Google Chrome and Microsoft Office Apps. Office makes sense, but Chrome? Is there some sort of integration between the two applications now that I am unaware of? Thank you in advance

I am using the JSS ability to create configuration profiles a lot. I push them over the air and it simply works.Now I have some machines not connected to the internet - not reachable by APN.I tested using the "download" button from the JSS` configuration profiles GUI. The downloaded .mobileconfig I installed with "profiles -I -F /path". It looked good - the profiles show up as they should. They are also device profiles as they should, but strangely enough they do not work!e.g. I tested a simple .plist: com.microsoft.office 14/FirstRun/SetupComplete=1 It is the same payload generated with JSS but one time OTA - one time downloaded and manual installation.Thank you for your thoughts!
