Never mind. Is there not a way to delete posts? :-)

Hallo JAMFnation, Has any one changed their JSS FQDN name ?We are about to move from a Windows Server 2008 R2 to a CentOS 6 server and would like to use a splitdns with a different FQDN name. Does anyone have a checklist that i can use with the things i need to do ? Some information : We run a full JSS which is windows and a limited JSS which is linux. We got 50 OSX and 50 iOS managed clients, the iOS clients i will re-enroll to the new JSS URL how should i handle the OSX clients ?We use self-signed certificates and PKI. ( our AD guy will generate a new certificate for us for the new FQDN )We also use MDM and APN Thanks

Hey guys - We just moved up to 9.32 for Yosemite and Im doing some testing. From what I can see, I have no issues with any of the Casper tools( Composer, Remote, etc.) except for Casper Admin. When I try to launch Casper Admin, I get the following: external image link Anyone else getting this or have any ideas? We are slated to move to 9.6 next week(don't ask me why we went in 2 progressions -_-) Just wondering if this is specific to us, or a possible bug with Yosemite and Casper Admin. Ive already tried re-downloading the applications, and tried using on another machine... Just kind of stumped now

I googled "JAMF Yosemite" and got a link to Make the transition to OS X Yosemite gracefully. Clicking that I got the following error: So is there no graceful transition? It seems when users upgrade, the local accounts get locked out and the only workaround is to rebuild the device. The cached version isn't very helpful either. All it says is that the Casper suite will help in the transition.

We have a manual install of the JSS on Red Hat 6.Our production server is running 9.31 while debug was running 9.32.Upon testing the 9.32 upgrade to 9.52, again using the manual install procedures, we got a failed upgrade. The JSS URL returned a 404 error. We also set up another test from 9.31 just to be sure and experienced the same issue. It seems like there is something missing in the 9.52 manual installer that it expects to be there either on its on or from a previous upgrade. Perhaps we have to go to 9.5 first, then 9.52? Ideas?I'm also waiting on a response from our support contact.

I've just deployed around 80 iPads and quickly found out that each one is asking for an Apple ID user/pass whenever they open apps that were downloaded through Self Service. All of these apps were distributed using the "in house" method to avoid having to have an Apple ID when installing them (I do not want an Apple ID on any of these iPads). However, requesting the Apple ID when a user opens the app completely defeats the purpose. Am I just missing some option somewhere? Is there any way around this issue? Thanks for any help.

It appears that VPP invitations can only be sent to users with JSS accounts. However, we'd like to avoid creating user accounts for everyone in our LDAP. The option to send invitations to users in LDAP does not exist unless a user has been added to the JSS or has been assigned an asset. In order to send out VPP invitations, I will have to manually assign every user in our AD to a device. That isn't helpful. Is there a way to to match machine users to their AD accounts and have the hardware automatically assigned? Also, JAMF does not pull the e-mail address field from AD. It pulls the user logon name and appends the domain. In our case, the internal domain ends in .internal, so JAMF thinks that everyone's e-mail address is: john.doe@example.internal. It never actually looks at the e-mail field for AD, or at least it won't prefer the AD e-mail field over the logon name + domain name format that it keeps so dear. Questions:1.) Is it possible to send invitations to a

Hi folks, Its early days where I am on the Casper front, so as much as I'd like to I can't use it to help me here. I need to create a hidden local admin, I'm fully aware of the script required for this and have that all in place, my one issue is that I really don't want to embed the password as clear text in the shell script. My thoughts are to obstruficate with Platypus, its not 100% secure, but its better. Before I attempt to re-invent the wheel, I thought I'd ask, just in case I've missed a trick. Thanks, j.

I am having issues with Adobe Packages created using Creative Cloud Packager after they have been replicated to other file share distributions points. Essentially permissions to access the pkg files are lost. The actual permissions shows as being the same for other working pkg and dmg files however, somehow the OS will not allow for copying them from the CasperShare. The original files as they exist on the primary distro point work fine. Is there something I am missing. Would anyone have insight into why permissions will fail only on Adobe PKGs upon replication? Edit: The Distro points are AFP

Finally getting around to asking a question I've been meaning to ask for a long time. Is there a doc describing using keyword search terms here at jamfnation? Especially for terms requiring more than one word. For example today I'm trying to search for "Subscribed Calendars." No matter the combinations I try I get mostly irrelevant returns. i.e. Subscribed + Calendars Subscribed & Calendars "Subscribed Calendars"

Hey Guys, I am wondering what the main difference is between using McAfee EndPoint Encryption over using FileVault 2. Does McAfee just escrow FV2 keys or does it use its own native encryption? I have looked around the internet but can not seem to find any information on how McAfee encrypts the drives. Thanks in advance!

Hi all, What would be the line/commands to delete all network locations except for two (one named "Ethernet" and one named "Wi-Fi"). I want to delete any other network locations users may have except for two that i've create on their machines. Thanks for your help forum!!!

When using jamf enroll -invitation how do you create the invitation ID?Or if using the older version how do you create the SSH Password hash? Thanks!

I am trying to collect a string from the OEAO plist. The script I wrote works via ARD, but does not work as an EA in Casper. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? Is there a better way to collect the string for the destinationFolder Key? #!/bin/sh loggedInUser=/bin/ls -l /dev/console | /usr/bin/awk '{ print $3 }' /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "print :destinationFolder" /Users/$loggedInUser/Library/Preferences/com.softhing.oeao3.plist Thanks!

Hello everyone,I am experiencing issues with uninstalling Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.2 so that I can install version 12.1.4 I am trying to use the script that is mentioned in this thread: https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=9271 I added "RemoveSymantecMacFiles" to Casper Admin and tried to run the script on a test computer with 12.1.2 installed. I get the following error: Sending Wake On LAN command...Opening SSH Connection to 128.135.xxx.xxx...Authenticating...Successfully authenticated.Verifying Computer's Identity...The MAC Address has been verified.Checking Operating System Version...Running Mac OS X 10.9.1 (13B4116)Verifying /usr/sbin/jamf.../usr/sbin/jamf is current (9.3)Verifying /Library/Preferences/com.jamfsoftware.jamf.plist...Preparing Policy...Executing Policy 2014-10-10 at 11:19 AM | dkirk | 1 Computer...Creating directory structure for /Library/Application Support/JAMF/Downloads/Downloading http://128.135.xxx.xxx/Scripts/Remov

Is there a way in terminal to list all interfaces of a certain type? For example, In System Information under the Network category i can see a Type column which has values of AirPort, Ethernet, and PPP (PPPSerial). I'd like to be able to list out everything of type "Ethernet"

Please forgive me in advance. I am VERY VERY new to Casper and it was pretty much dumped in my lap. I am having an issue when an AD bind is pushed when imaging, the shell for any network user becomes /usr/bin/tcsh. Local accounts have it listed as /bin/bash and in the Directory Bindings of the JSS it lists Default User shell as /bin/bash. The only thing we pushed besides the OS and Casper AD bind, was the creation of the Casper Admin account and a local Administrator account. We have1. Bound the machine manually. This loads the correct shell of /bin/bash.2. Deleted out the Directory Binding and added it again, making sure we weren't inputting anything (We had inherited all of the previously created binds from the previous admin).

Hey guys, Ive been having a bit of trouble creating a package for a piece of software called FX Maths using Composer. The software contains 4 different applications that require a license to run so i have been using the "New and Modified" snapshot technique to create the installer for distribution. The issue im having is strange and not one i have encountered before. The final installer package installs the 4 applications correctly and all of them are licensed and in working order. However, only 2 of the 4 applications have their correct icon in the applications folder, the other two have generic icons. If i open either of the applications the icon will reappear, but only for the remainder of the time in which the application is active. I have tried packaging each application individually but still experience the same issue with the same two icons. Has anybody come across this before and found a solution? Kind regards, Sam Cooper

Looking through a few of the discussions here it was easy to get a Java 7 policy working. Except I've run into a little snag with getting the disabled update checking preference to stick. Using Composer I capture the following:1. Install Java 7.2. Open the Java Control Panel.3. On the Update tab I disable the automatic update checking.4. When I apply the change I am prompted for administrator credentials, so I enter those credentials.5. Clean up the capture (just the Recent Items preference in /private/*6. Build the DMG However when I go right back into the Java Control Panel I discover the disabled setting has reverted back to on. Since I am prompted for an admin credential upon applying the change I would expect to find the plist file in Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences. But I don't. Instead I find the file "com.oracle.javadeployment.plist" in ~/Library/Preferences. Inside I find the value: <dict> <key>/com/oracle/javadeployment/</key>

We recently upgraded from JSS 8.x (which uses MAC Address as primary identifier) to 9.x (which uses UUID). Is it possible for a computer that last checked in when we were on JSS 8.x to be reimaged under JSS 9.x, and show up as a duplicate? We have not seen any issue, but the question came up and we wanted to see if someone here has the answer before we open a ticket. TIA,Don

At my institution we are using the Belkin Thunderbolt Express dock with many of the Macbook Pros we've deployed and have been mostly pleased with them. Recently, we have begun encrypting the laptops with FileVault 2 in order to comply with the results of a security audit. What we've begun experiencing is that any peripherals, in particular the keyboard and mouse, plugged into the dock are disabled until after login on encrypted machines. Once logged in, the dock is fine again.Has anyone seen this and/or have any idea of a solution to prevent this from happening?

I have a script that worked perfectly the last 2 school years so probably pre-Casper 9. Since we upgraded to Casper 9 mid school year last year. This script figures out who the current logged in user is and then hits Active Directory to get their AD group which is their graduation class and their full name. We then have departments named the same in Casper. This worked beautifully in the past but seems to have broken some time in the last year. And maybe it's my script but that hasn't changed. #!/bin/bash getUser=`ls -l /dev/console | awk '{ print $3 }'` getclass=`dscl '/Active Directory/ACADEMIC/All Domains' -read /Users/$getUser dsAttrTypeNative:distinguishedName | awk '{ FS=","; print $2 }' | awk '{ FS="="; print $2 }'` getRealName=`dscl '/Active Directory/ACADEMIC/All Domains' -read /Users/$getUser RealName | grep -v ":"` jamf recon -endUsername $getUser -department "$getclass"

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.
