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

Anyone deploying Check Point Full Disk Encryption on their Macs? http://www.checkpoint.com/products/full-disk-encryption/ Any feedback on experience, deployment, management, stability, reliability, etc...there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of info on it on JAMF Nation. :) PS, I don't suppose it leverages Filesafe2 by escrowing encryption keys? This is Rich's cue...<g>... Thanks,Don

I'm running NetSUS 2.0 on our ESX environment. I've uploaded a copy of our known good netboot image taken from our existing xserves. The IP Helpers are in place, the subnet and masks are configured on the NetSUS. Everything seems rosy ... That is until you actually netboot off it. What happens is that it appears to netboot properly but then, every time, Casper Imaging will then almost immediately crash the computer solid. This same image works perfectly from our existing infrastructure. I kept the console open and it's not returning any useful info that I can see. Suggestions?

I'm having problems where the JSS API has switched to returning data in JSON instead of XML. I believe it started happening when we switched to 8.71, but I could be wrong on that. Playing around with curl, I've figured out how to add a header to get it to give me XML, but I'd really like for it to just return XML by default. Anyone else run in to this or have any ideas?

Hello, New to Casper - would like to know if I can downlowad/buy a version of casper to test in my home lab? and would one mac mini server serve as my JSS and distribution point?

Hello, I have been having issues with Casper skipping the Winclone file during images, I have Winclone 4 Pro and have followed the directions on the site, it skips the partitioning during the first step and also the last step the winclone file. we are running 10.7.5 and am not sure what the problem is. I also have made the image self extracting according to the directions help! Thanks

I have what I hope is a very dumb question. We recently upgraded to version 9 of the Casper Suite, and I am unable to export my inventory results as a PDF. In version 8, at the bottom of an inventory search screen there was an option to view results as a PDF. In version 9, there is an export function, but I only have the options to export to CSV or tabbed files. Am I missing something obvious, or was this feature removed from the new version of the suite? Thanks in advance, -Matt

Hi everyone, We have a group of 45 iPads in the hands of 5th grade students. Since the students in this grade take them home, we set them up as unsupervised, but have a profile on them that restricts app downloads based upon age restrictions. We now have an app that a teacher wants them to have that has the age restriction warning (it's an app with a built in web browser). Because of the age warning, the students are not able to install it from Self Service. Is there any way around this besides replacing their default profile with a new profile just for this? Thanks Mike

Anyone have any experience with putting Tomcat behind an Apache proxy, using mod_proxy or mod_proxy_ajp or something similar with their JSS server? While needing the JSS to be accessible both internally and externally, we'd rather not directly expose Tomcat to external networks if possible. Just wondering if anyone else has tried it out before I get my hands dirty with it.

I'm trying to add a web clip to the dock that holds the address of an smb share. I'd like to do folder rather than a web clip but the icon doesn't change from a question mark to a folder, even when the share gets mounted. The share I want to mount is in the following format: smb://files/labarea/'$site'/Labarea My thought was to create a web clip and use a script parameter to enter the school site designation like this: smb://files/labarea/$4/Labarea For some reason when using dockutil to add a web clip with this address, the $4 parameter doesn't get accepted. If I put HH as the parameter in Casper Remote, the dock.plist just shows the url as it sits in the script, with the $4 rather than HH. If I use dockutil to create a folder pointing to the share like this: //files/labarea/$4/Labarea The parameter works fine (but the icon stays as a question mark rather than a folder icon). If I drag my dock item out and manually put it in from the mounted sh

Happy September...on the tail of my wireless authentication woes, another problem came up. I have machines that were imaged in 2 weeks ago, that tecahers used. fine. Now it seems each machine will not let one and only one user not login ( different user on each machine) we use AD. the user home folder is there with correct ownership rights. logs show the user as an 'unknown' user. changing the password/deleting, adding the account does not work.the only thing that does seem to work for now is a nuke and pave. I do see the user with an updated USN number in AD. again it is just one particular user, which makes it frustrating.I just get the shaking grey screen. any ideas/ OS: 10.8.4Bound to AD

I just started playing with dockutil and am encountering an error when attempting to add a url to the dock. The command is: sudo dockutil --add http://someaddresshere.com --label 'Website' --after Downloads The web clip gets added in the appropriate location but the label isn't changed. The message in Terminal is: -bash: --label: command not found This is running the latest version of dockutil 1.1.4 on 10.8.4. Thanks,John

Hi, It may be a newbie question but how on earth do I create a smart group based on an EA? This is in JSS 9.11 BTW. I have the EA being populated via a script and can see the info in the inventory, I just cannot work out how to use an EA as criteria for a smart group. I'm clicking "all criteria" but cant find anything that suggests an EA. Cheers Andy

Hi, i set update inventory every day for each device and i have set extension attribute (device uptime) that also will be collect during update inventory. I have set policy that will trigger a notification if the device uptime is more than 5days. the problem is, and maybe only my concern and think too much; :) ; how can i make the policy run AFTER update inventory every day? i tried to figure out in smart group: Last inventory update, not sure how to set that. Anyone please?

Hey all:Pretty new to JAMF Casper and shell scripting but I am having an issue that probably has a simple fix. We have users connecting a server via SSH in Terminal in a computer lab. We recently replaced the server so the RSA key has changed. I want to script the removal of the old RSA key from users home directories (stored in /Users/(Insert Username Here)/.ssh/ and have it run once per user as a policy When I run it as a policy, Casper tries to use the /var/root/.ssh as the working directory except I want the working directory for it to use as the current user's home directory.The script I have runs as follows: ssh-keygen -R (insert my server name here) before that command runs I have tried to use cd and change it to $user and tried "$3" since that is a built in variable casper creates but the command continues to run from /var/root so it bombs out. Any advice on how to make sure Casper uses the current working directory would be appreciated Thanks!

Alright, we have an issue with a missing iOS device. My boss just asked me if there was anyway for us to increase the Inventory Collection Frequency from what I've read and what I know once a week is the most frequent it can be set to. So hopefully someone can prove me wrong. Currently we are running JSS 8.71. I've already manually requested an inventory update as well. So any suggestions?

In our inventory scan of our Macs, we have both an IP address and a Reported IP address returned. I'm struggling to work out why there are two and what each address relates to. I can't find any explanation in the Admin Guide so can anyone shed any light?
