Hey all, I got this working for Fusion 5 after many unsuccessful attempts, however since we upgraded to Jamf 9 I am unable to Create a similar workflow for installing VMWare Fusion 6 and having the license key included. I have looked at some of the resources here on the nation, but have found nothing that was up to date. My goal is to create or use the Vmware Fusion 6 installer and have the serial already installed. Then make available in self service. Any help would be appreciated.

Is there a way to have the quickadd package restart the machine after it finishes enrolling the device? I am using self enroll and want the machine to restart after the end user finishes the enroll process. ThanksLarry

I just restricted a bunch of application software, logged out as a standard user and when I logged back in, I keep getting "CoreLocationAgent" errors. Anyone ever encounter this issue? I also had the restrict applications enabled under management preference set to user level.

Has anyone been successful with opening the lock on the network preference pane in 10.9? I was using the old way of enable preference panes by running a script with the following commands in 10.8: /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "set rights:system.preferences:class allow" /etc/authorization /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "set rights:system.preferences.timemachine:class allow" /etc/authorization /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "set rights:system.preferences.network:class allow" /etc/authorization /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "set rights:system.preferences.energysaver:class allow" /etc/authorization /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "set rights:system.preferences.printing:class allow" /etc/authorization /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "set rights:system.preferences.datetime:class allow" /etc/authorization In 10.9 PlistBuddy no longer works and you have to use the security command: security authorizationdb write system.preferences allow security authori

JSS 8.62I am having an issue with the "Enable Firewall.sh" script from JamfNation when I run it in a policy. I have this run on all machines, even if the machines has the firewall already enabled, because there have been times when a user has disabled their firewall and I want the machine to re-enable it. POLICY:Triggered by loginSet to Run the script as Before with parameter 4 = TRUE On some of the computers I am getting this error/policy failure log. /usr/sbin/jamf is version 8.62Executing Policy Enable Firewall...Creating directory structure for /Library/Application Support/JAMF/Downloads/Downloading https://jamfserver:443/software/Scripts/enableFirewall.sh...Running script enableFirewall.sh...Script exit code: 0Script result: Enabling Firewall for OS 10.8 ...launchctl: Error unloading: com.apple.alf.useragent Anyone know why this is having an issue unloading the com.apple.alf.useragent?

I know I'm a few weeks late on this at this point. I took notes on this presentation, but maybe I wrote down something wrong. I think the presenter when he was talking about cocoa dialog and terminal notifier mentioned something like pleasewait.app. Does anyone remember that? I can't seem to find anything called pleasewait.app using google or my google powers aren't strong enough. What I need to do is have something pop up and sort of take up the screen while some processes happens in the back. Thanks ahead of time!Bob

I am exploring a reposado sus and possibly a netboot server but the only info I can find states it runs on Ubuntu. Is there a way of running this on a server that is at Mac OS 10.8.5 or 10.9 Server?

Hi guys I am moving away from ADmitMac and using Apple built in connector. Unfortunately my kerberos ticket gets deleted after a couple of minutes. Has anyone seen this in Mountain Lion?

We decided to upgrade to Mavericks and Server 3.0 on our Mac Mini server. The JSS didn't like that. Whoops. The upgrade also removed Java, and JCE, which was a semi pain to fix, but not terrible. The JSS is running fine now, but in System Prefs I notice that MySQL is "not running" which is not possible as the JSS works, so it must be running. The only conclusion I can come to is that a preference file in MySQL is missing or a pointer is invalid. Has anyone seen this issue or knows how to resolve? At this point it's just a cosmetic issue but if/when I need to restart I won't be able to since I can't stop/start the service. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi JAMFnation, Does any one know how to manage the stored updates on the NetSUS appliance by jamf?How do you delete unwanted updates so to free up space? Can you delete them manually or is there a tool out there that can do this? Thank you guys in Advance

If you are an Adobe ELA customer you should have access to CC media and tools. We are at the Adobe Creative Cloud Enterprise seminar in Dallas, will hit them up with the key deployment/management questions...including the need for zero-touch removal of old suites. Don

Hello JAMF nation!! We are planning the upgrade to v9.2 in two weeks and just upgraded to 8.73. We obviously need to set up a testing machine. I installed debian 64bit 7.1.0 on a VM and ran the automatic Linux installer. The installation went quite well and I ended up with a JSS 9.2 up and running. I stopped Tomcat and restored our latest 8.73 SQL dump (mysql -u jamfsoftware -pjamfsw03 jamfsoftware < 2013-10-23_22-42-00.sql.gz)I rebooted and logged in to https://TestJSS:8443 Even though the database was restored, it went through the installation setup process: - Company name- Serial- User account- URL The only thing I have next is a blank page. I repeated the steps several times but no luck. What am I missing here ? Any ideas ?

I have been using Greg Neagle's createOSXinstallPkg to deploy 10.8 for the past year or so. I downloaded the updated files (createOSXinstallPkg ) for 10.9 and built the first package today. I cached it to a test system a few minutes ago and ran a policy to "install all cached policies" just like I have done with 10.8. I get the following error when the policy runs:An error occurred executing the policy "Install Mavericks" on the computer "FAxxxx68". Event log from the policy: /usr/sbin/jamf is version 8.73 Executing Policy Install Mavericks... [STEP 1 of 3] Mounting afp://xxxxx/CasperShare to /Volumes/CasperShare...

Hello, Will the Self Service client (from Caseper 8.6) installed on my existing computers be able to talk to the new JSS 9.2 or do I need to update all clients first before upgrading the server? Thanks,Dirk

Let's say I am the admin of several hundred Mac's. Let's also say I have an employee that wants to "tinker" with his MacBook so he goes off and buys his own RAM to upgrade his machine to 8 gigs instead of 4. Is there a way for Casper to report a hardware change in this such way?I was thinking extension attribute(s) plus tons of other scripting but not sure where to start. Thanks in advance for any advice/comments.

Where might this info be pulled from? Thanks for any help in advance! Michael

I've noticed inconsistencies in the Displays menu extra list of wired/wireless Apple TVs on our wireless 10.8.x systems. ATVs are reordering themselves and occasionally I'll hear about one disappearing and later reappearing in the list. The "AirPlay" list of the same wired/wireless Apple TVs on our iOS7 devices and 10.9 test system consistently appear in alphabetical order. Has anyone else run into this? Would it be possible to manage the ByHost Airplay Menu Extra preference file on 10.8.x systems using MCX or Profiles?Create custom strings for each ATV ethernet MAC address...? <key>RecentAirPlayRoutes</key> <array> <string>AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF</string> <string>AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF</string> <string>AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF</string> </array> Thanks,Lionel

I'm at a bit of a loss now... I've read through the forums and haven't seen this particular problem. I'm trying to mount our user's home directories off of their Windows AD file shares. I'm using the script "mountNetworkShare.sh" found here, as well as various other folks attempts at Bash scripts and/or AppleScripts. The issue is straightforward:The output of 'dscl . read /Users/myusername SMBHome' at the command line is:SMBHome: heServerPrivate$myusername Unfortunately, that $ is wrecking havoc with all of the shell-based scripts, as it truncates at the $.For example, the output of the command: ./mountNetworkShare.sh one two myusername is:Attempting to read SMBHome attribute from user record since the 'share' parameter is blank...Share determined to be: smb://theServer/Private$ And then, of course, it fails to mount. Any thoughts on successfully preserving that $ as part of the mount command?

I am using the latest JSS NetSUS vm and I must be missing something. I have already approved and downloaded the latest EFI firmware updates from Apple however clients come back with no software updates available when there is an appropriate EFI update for that model approved. Is there any additional configuration that is necessary to provide these or is reposado not capable of advertising these updates?

Recently I created a Smart group to check all machines for the version of Flash and install the latest version if not already installed based on a policy scoped to this Smart Group. I want to do the same for Silverlight and Java but I'm not sure what criteria to search on for when creating the Smart group. Any advice?

We want to push an encryption policy that does both "management Account" and "current or next user" functionality. We want the user to be the only one to decrypt the device, but if they forget their password or something else happens, we want to be able to unlock it. We have an institutional key, but the problem is that most of our users are at home, often in countries with no IT hands, and we don't want to have to give out our Key every time a user forgets their password. Our thoughts were to create a script configuring FDE through command line that adds a management account along with the user account. Seems needlessly complicated though. Any suggestions?

We have just upgraded our development JSS server from 8.71 to 9.0 and lost all our managed prefs and licensed software! Is this supposed to happen? What the solutions are to bring it back without redoing all that manually? We have 99 managed preferences and 140 licensed software. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Okay I have perused the discussion pertaining to firmware passwords. I have read the 9.x administrator guide since I am using the 9 version of the JSS. I am still without the ability to set the firmware password. The scripts say they have run without issues in the logs but the moment I power up with the option key I am presented with disk choices.The test boxes I am using are mid 2012 laptops so I seem to read I do need setregproptool. Is there something else that I need to do with the JAMF policy for enabling the firmware that is not in the admin guide?

Yesterday during my JumpStart, I did a test for Restricted Software for Apple Remote Desktop. I wanted general users to not be able to run this, so I set the process name to "Remote Desktop" and checked exact match. Later during the JumpStart when looking at the JSS log, I noticed it was killing Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for some users. I deleted the restriction.
