Just checking to see if it's just me or universal.

Hello, I'm trying to update to JSS 8.7 but in the last Installation step it stops with this error: "There was an error installing the JSS, please check the JSSInstaller.log located at C:WindowsTemp":: -------------------Tomcat7 Logs Configuration-------------------: Checking if Logs directory exists...: Error changing log paths. What can I do? The installation rolled back.

I've thrown this out to the Support folks, and I don't know what sort of answer they will come back with, therefore I'm throwing this out to the community at large. We use FileVault 2 admin'd by the JSS for our encryption on all of our workstations. We're slow to get updates out because we want to verify them and when an update requires a restart, we're unable to complete a reboot due to filevault. Has anyone run across this solution or a mechanism to pass an fdesetup -authrestart through to an end workstation via policy? The JSS has got the master password, since the JSS kicks off the encryption, but I don't see anyway to automatically initiate that. Thoughts?

The Flash Player 11.9.900.117 from Adobe Distribution site offers an installer for System Administrators. So far my testing shows it's the pkg we've been waiting for...- mount the dmg - Renamed it "Adobe Flash Player (11.9.900.117).pkg"- Dragged the pkg into Casper Admin- Able to deploy to Macs with no user logged in = GOOD!- Able to deploy to Macs with while a user is logged in, silent install with nothing visible to the user. =GOOD!- Install during imaging with "installed to the boot volume at imaging time" option enabled = GOOD!- (Not tested yet: via Self Service.) They even mention system compatibility with Mac OS X 10.9, ahead of it's release. I still need to package up and deploy the /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/mms.cfg to change the Updates to "Allow Adobe to install updates".

I'm running JSS 9.12 and I can't seem to disable the "Log out users after: XX minutes of inactivity" setting in the OS Configuration Profile for Login Window. Any ideas as to whether this is a bug or if I'm doing something wrong? ThanksJP

So we've finally moved from a monolithic rebuild every time we needed to update from one OS release to another. Now I'm scratching my head as to patch management for our now FileVault 2 encrypted Macs? I'm testing the process for patching 10.8.2 to .3 and it will require a reboot. Per company policy this should run overnight to minimize production outage time. With the reboot, running via a policy remotely, it will just hang out at the FileVault login screen. I'm scratching my head as to how I should do this. If I were doing it via command line from my desk, I'd run through the fdesetup authrestart process manually, but that's not an option for our operations team. Thoughts?

Is there a way to have the policy execution status be "failed" if the script within the policy fails a test? I have a policy that runs a script. At the end of the script I test to see if it was successful. How do I pass its failure to the policy so that it indicates the scripts success or not? I played with exit values on the script, but the policy still states it successful no matter if it passed the test or not. Thanks, Gretchen

We have computers that we deploy and install quick add package on... They show up for a season, collect inventory, work fine, etc. And then mysteriously disappear as if they were never there. I would say out of the last 12 macbook airs we rolled out, 6 of them are now no longer seen by Casper Suite. Really makes it impossible to manage your deployment if you can't even count on the machines being IN the system. Right now we have at least 14 out of 100 machines that once were there, but now are gone.

Does anyone know offhand if the user level MCX i've got working for homesync work as computer level preferences?

I'm trying to distribute Microsoft Lync but in order for it to work it needs our company generated Root CA also to be installed. Whats the best way to achieve this?

Can anyone point me to the discussion thread we had earlier this year or last where folks chimed in on how many Casper admins were supporting how many devices in their environment. I'm trying to do some capacity planning.

Is there a way to manually add a computer to JSS version 9.0? or has that feature been removed? It is pretty important to our current inventory workflow.

In previous OS i used this command to enable Accessibility sudo touch /private/var/db/.AccessibilityAPIEnabled for some reason if i have this in a policy in 10.8 it prompts for admin credentials. Has anyone else noticed this

I was wondering if anyone in the community had my answer, I have recently downloaded the unlockAddPrinters.sh and wanted to run it on multiple computers (I work at a school). I just can't seem to set it up right. The OS that I am running is 10.7.4 on Macbooks.Please reply A.S.A.P.

I'm planning an upgrade from CrashPlan 3.8.2010.2 to the latest CrashPlan PROe. I know that the clients will automatically update themselves once the server is updated, but I'd like to be able to monitor this with Casper. Is there an extended attribute available that would let me keep track of what version of the client software is running?

Is there a way to delete multiple computer records from the JSS database using the web console?

Yesterday I upgraded my JSS to 9.1 from 8.71 and everything appeared to upgrade fine, but now whenever I try to log in to the web interface I get a blank page with the title "400 Error" after entering my credentials. I have tried this in both Safari and Firefox. Computers are communicating with the JSS with the jamf binary just fine and Self Service still works, but I cannot access the web interface. I have only tried rebooting the server so far. Any particular areas where I should focus my troubleshooting?

Can anybody point me in the direction of how to enable the option to "Automatically check for updates" in System Preferences -> Software Update? I've located and created a MCX policy to manage the two items below it via MCX'ing /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist: "Download newly available updates in the background" "Install system data files and security updates" But I cannot locate what setting is enabling the parent auto check setting. Help?

Is there a way to recover a package/dmg in Casper Admin if you haven't yet empied the trash?

Hi guys Anyone know if its possible to scope config profiles to AD group membership? Trying to move away from ADmitMac and last piece of the puzzle is config profiles for different access for removable media

We recently set up a JSS Server on an Apple Xserve Running OS X 10.8.4 Server and the JSS version is 8.71. The server is connected to Active Directory. The issue we have it that the web console we use becomes unavailable multiple time a day. The server itself is still running, but the JSS seems to stop responding. the only fix we have currently is to reboot the server. Does any one have any idea where I can start to look to see why the JSS connection is dropping? Thank you for reading this and for your assistance.

Sad, I didn't see any sessions on how to use Git. :(

Hi, I've got an enrollment policy that binds machines to AD, however some of our machines are already bound. When I tested the enrollment on a machine that is already in AD, it comes back that the policy has failed. Is there a way to ignore the directory bind if its already there? Thanks Dave
