How do I run a report/policy/script with casper to see what websites students visit with Macs?

Has anyone got a copy of Java for OS X 2013-001 installer?Please pass me the link if anyone has the original Apple installer (JavaForOSX2013-001.dmg) as the Apple Support site replaced it with the latest version. Thank you.

Is there a way to create a smart group based on if the user has Automatic Proxy Configuration set?

Is there a way to set a service agreement policy through Casper so all devices display a message before the login screen ?

JAMF Guru's, Our organisation is trying enrol all pre 2012 Apple hardware using the self enrol process. The problem is a lot of the users don't have admin rights which is required to install the quickadd.pkg. New apple hardware isn't an issue as out of the box deployments are configured correctly with JSS. The main issue is i have a large amount of users unable to enrol and require an IT Officer with local admin rights to patch them which is a timely exercise . Any ideas?

New KB provides a "fix" for the issue of our inability to enroll Macs: Enrollment Fails Using the Casper Suite or Recon Suite v8.63 or earlier with MySQL 5.6https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/article.html?id=318 However, it does not tell us if it is safe to roll back JSS if we are already running 5.6? Can we shut down JSS, uninstall MySQL 5.6...then install MySQL 5.5 and start MySQL again? Is this safe? Is it recommended? PS, no option to post this question on the KB page...so posting here.

Hey all: I'm new to the scene so please be understanding if this is basic stuff. I had an HTTP Distribution Point working from a Mac mini running 10.8 Server (the same one running JSS and everything else Casper). It was working fine but I was asked to RAID1 the mini sever's internal drives. So I Carbon Copy Cloned the whole thing to an external, RAIDed the drives, Carbon Copy Cloned everything back. I booted back up and DHCP took over and assigned an IP, which sort of broke everything, but I reset up the IP and DNS, then re-ran the JSS installer, and everything was back up - except for the HTTP Distribution Point. The error when running a policy is this: /usr/sbin/jamf is version 8.63 Executing Policy Test (HTTP)... [STEP 1 of 1] Creating directory structure for /Library/Application Support/JAMF/Downloads/ Downloading http://SERVER.ca:80/CasperShare/Scripts/_DisplayMessage.sh...

I would like to provide a .mobileconfig file to our remote Mac (not iOS) users that pre-populates the VPN settings for our organization. I have generated one and it works all except for the fact that I cannot get the profile to properly control the setting for "Send all Traffic Over VPN". I need that setting to be on (in a checked state). Here is my profile (with location specifics masked). Can anyone let me know where I might be going wrong? I thank folks in advance. I will note that Apple suggests use of the OverridePrimary key in their documentation. It doesn't seem to work though. The profile works other than that functionality though so if anyone knows perhaps a way that "Send all traffic over VPN" can be toggled in a script, that would work too. <?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

Hi guys. This is my first post on here. I wanted to see if there is a good solution for what I'm trying to do. My company has 14 different buildings, each with their owner printers. Is there an elegant way to clear out a staff members printing system and then re-add all of the printers in one step?

Hi All, Java is driving me up the wall, I have the latest 6 2013 (1.6.0_41) update and it installs OK as a PKG, a prerequisite for Symantec AV live update (go figure...) however we have an application that launches a jnlp file that needs the Java web plugin. With Safari it refuses saying missing plugin, even though I tried the re-enabling article on the Apple website. However Firefox asks me what I want to use to launch it and it works OK. Java 7 update 15 installed manually works OK but installed as either a home grown snapshot PKG/DMG it does not. Install JRE7 by copying out the PKG from the Oracle package and deploying it still does not work.. How are you guys packaging and deploying JRE? Thanks, Barry

I have successfully captured the "Dock" .plist using Composer "User Environment" (as a DMG). Uploaded it to Casper Admin and selected "Fill User Template" I am pushing this out via Self Service, and for some reason, when I login as the user (AD Centrify), nothing. Might someone have the exact steps (I seem to be missing something, etc.). thx again in advance, John

The setupOutlook.scpt is working, pretty cool. What are some of the ways to invoke the script upon logging in as an AD user with their AD account? Might there be a way within this script or another, to specify the Directory service server under, Advanced > Server? If so that would even more cool and a time saver. Not sure why the Directory service server is not "auto configured". It is frustrating for Mac users to not be able to search the "GAL" on initial setup (without a manual entry). Thanks in advance John

I've copied a .dmg file into the Casper Admin tool. It shows up in red font while everything else is black font. Why? Also, it is the one and only .dmg file we can't pull down via Netboot too. So I don't think its installed right. It was indexed so that worked but I don't know why it shows up in red font.

Hi there, I am trying to utilize Netboot across our university network, however, my computers cannot see my restore image. I have used the "sudo bless --netboot --server bsdp://ip-address" command on the computers I would like to net boot, however, they just flash the Netboot startup icon and then boot to the internal HDD. I have attached an image of the logs captured in Server Admin, but I'm not sure why they are not seeing the image. Any help would be truly appreciated!external image link

I tried searching for this particular issue in the forum but couldn't find it. We are working on building our 10.8 image for next school year and have run into quite the little problem. The problem is that active directory doesn't seem to be binding on the machine until we log in with the local admin account. I can let it sit at the login screen for hours and it won't bind. But 1 or 2 minutes after I've logged in with the local admin it binds automatically. This is an annoyance as we are deploying a full 1-to-1 laptop program. I don't want to have to login to each machine, wait for it to bind, etc. We're using Casper 8.62, Mac OS X 10.8.2, and the AD is on a Windows 2008 server. Let me know if anymore information is needed, I can post some log files if need be.

I have come up against this error "Lookup logs:java.sql.SQLException: com.jamfsoftware.HTTPRequestActions.Controller.processRequest: SQLException from executeQuery: java.sql.SQLException: Table './jamfsoftware/log_actions' is marked as crashed and should be repairedorg.apache.jasper.JasperException: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: java.lang.NullPointerException" when i go to Policy -> chose on any policy -> click on view status -> then the error above show up. I checked the size of the log_actions.MYD and its 121GB!!! Yikes I have tried a repair tables through Casper and a Repair whilst trying to backup but both state that the MYD is marked as crashed. Anyone have any pointers of which way to go with this one, I do have a good backup from 2 days ago - but restoring that will most likely only postpone the issue not fix what us causing the inflated MYD Look forward to any replays Karl

I'm attempting to cache the 'Install OS X Mountain Lion.app in /Users/Shared and have a script in Self Service to open the installer. When attempting to install the above dmg created in Composer (to put the .app in the Users/Shared folder) using a policy, I get this error: Error: The package "Install OS X Mountain Lion.dmg" could not be mounted (no mountable file systems). My idea is that users wouldn't see the option in Self Service until the installer app was present in /Users/Shared. I haven't seen this particular error before so not sure how to remedy it. Thanks,John

I have 2 base images, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro w/ Retina. The images were made on the latest generation of boxes running 10.8.2, and are being imaged onto their brethren devices. The images are basically 100% clean (nothing is done other than doing the OSX required setup process). The machines are imaged via NetBoot. There is a policy in JSS to enable FileFault2 on all machines with an instituional key, this works most of the time. However, I've got a decent percentage of machines where this policy executes (I get the popup saying save your work, computer is going bye bye), but fails to actually encrypt the drive. This is mixed between both my MBA's and my MBP's (So I know it's not image specific). When I tried to enable FileVault in the GUI manually after this policy application, it fails. I checked the system.log file and found this: CoreStorage conversion failed with mainError: -69700; detailError: 0 Anyone seen anything like this?

I just finished the 4-hr training and had one iPad enroll the JSS suite. This iPad already had some apps install before enrollment and they are now showed as Unmanaged apps. I wondered if it's possible to turn these Unmanaged apps into JSS Managed apps. Thanks.

I'm trying to write a default colour profile entry into /Users/Library/Preferences/ByHost/.GlobalPrefence Does anyone have an easy single fire solution to this? Or is the only way around this to package up the plist and push it out to each machine when a user logs in?

Is anyone else deploying this as a convenient boot manager? I've a package i've made with a postflight script to bless rEFInd's .efi file. Works great when deployed via Casper Remote. Fails to work after deployment as part of a Casper Imaging sequence.

Hi, We put Java updates, flash updates in Self Service so people can update that way. I have in the description the instructions to quit your browsers before running this update. However most people either don't read it, or they just close the browser window thinking they have quit the program. Is there a way to have the policy quit the browsers (or any app i want to update) so the update will run successfully? I am still new at this but learning... Thanks, Steve

Hey all, anyone know of a way to force a policy to run again on select systems that have already run it, by using the "jamf policy -id <id" command, or some other way? For example, if you have a policy that is set to "Once every day", can you make it run again before the 24 hours is up via a script?In my initial tests, using the above syntax, I just get the "No Policies were found for the ID <id>" error. I'm certain I'm using the correct policy id number, and the system is in the scope for the policy, so I'm guessing its because its set for once per 24 hours and won't execute again until its time. I know about the "flushPolicyHistory" flag for the jamf binary, but there is no description about it in help, and I'm concerned it flushes ALL policy histories, which is not something I want to do. I'm just looking to target the one policy that I would like to force run again. So, anyone know if there is some way

Does anyone have an issue with a 30-45 second lag when trying to log into a FV2 encrypted system with a cached AD account? I'm trying to figure out if its possible to reduce this lag somehow. If the Mac is plugged into the network, we are able to login with an AD account in about ~ 20 seconds. But if its disconnected from the network, it takes over a minute. Any ideas?

In a last ditch effort to figure out why our internal SUS is not working I am turning to Jamf Nation. I have spent hours in webex sessions with Jamf tech support trying to figure this out. Are there any Mountain Lion Server users out there with SUS working with Casper Suite? If so, please contact me so I can get my internal SUS working. This is one of the main reasons why we purchased this product and so far it has failed miserably.
