I want an extension attribute to tell me the version of the Oracle installed (new) Java JKE 7. So a little script goes like this: #!/bin/sh if [ -e /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java ]; then result="$(/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java -version)" echo "$result" fi Problem is -- I can't seem to grep the results, although my output is like this: java version "1.7.0_09" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_09-b05) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.5-b02, mixed mode) I can't output this to a text file either. Any ideas?

Hi All, is it possible to change the iPad model descriptors? I'd prefer to have something more descriptive than iPad3,4 or iPad3,6 etc. Cheers,Chris.

Hi all, So we're trying to get out the latest Java update that fixes the much publicized recent security issues. For 10.7+ there's a clear package to install from the Oracle site. But for 10.6, which I think should come from Software Update, the new version doesn't seem to be available. Am I missing something?

I know there isn't an final "official" list yet for Mountain Lion compatibility, but has anyone figured out what criteria to use to create a smart group which will identify what hardware is compatible with Mountain Lion? I know the tricky part of identifying qualifying hardware is the graphics specs. Any thoughts?

When I use Target Mode Imaging, no logs are created within the Casper Imaging section in the JSS. However, "normal" imaging creates these logs. Does anyone know if this is considered normal, or if somehow I'm missing a setting somewhere?

So I may not have had enough coffee yet, but am I missing something or is there no way to create a smart computer group based on machines that have a specific profile? We are working on moving to EAP-TLS for wireless, and with that, I am pushing out a profile with the AD cert info and wireless settings. This works well, but I need to then run a script I wrote to remove certain other networks, which I was hoping to limit to machines that already have the profile...

Hi guys I noticed in my excel spread sheet the date format not showing in UK formats I narrowed it down to the Region in the Language and Text Preference Pane. Does any one know how i can set the Region to United Kingdom via the command line Thanks

I'm following instructions for deploying Office 2011. Part of the instructions is to copy the Office 2011 installer into /private/tmp/. When I try to remove this path from the Exclusion List one of two things happens. Composer crashes, Clicking "Save" does nothing. What can I do to remove /private/tmp/ from the Exclusion list.

Hi I'm trying to download a .mobileconfig file from the JSS server with curl. Does someone have a tip how I can do this? For example I'm trying something like this to download a configuration profile with the name "Standard Profile" from the server: curl -k -v -u test:test "https://servername.domain.net:8443/int/exportOSXConfigurationProfile.html?profileId=3&filename=Standard%20Profile" -o ~/Desktop/test.mobileconfig The test.mobileconfig file then contains the text "Your session has expiredIf you have just logged in, please ensure that your browser has cookies enabled ". So at least one problem seems to be the cookie. I also tested with the --cookie-jar and --cookie parameters. So far without success. The command above is just one example of many I have tried. Thank you.

We are late to the CS6 table, but hopefully it will be good practice for CS7. ;-) I am attempting to use the installPKGfromDMG.sh method (which seems promising) of installing Design and Web Premium CS6, but it seems it will not mount when done from the script. The DMG will mount manually via Terminal command, but, when done remotely, I constantly receive the following error (the client machine is logged off while I push the command via jamf policy -trigger as a test): Test-Support-iMac:~ test-sd$ sudo jamf policy -trigger install_dpCS6 Password: Checking for policies triggered by "install_dpCS6"...

I've setup the netsus Appliance and have configured a policy which is deploying to my test 10.8 machine. Updates aren't appearing. When I try to run a manual softwareupdate I receive "Error: An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made."What I don't understand is why I'm receiving this error when the netsus Appliance is using HTTP not HTTPS. What's happening?

I've had Dropbox as an entry in the restricted software tab for a while now. I know it used to catch instances of Dropbox running and I just forgot about it. Recently something came up and I'm revisiting this, it seems that Casper is no longer catching the running Dropbox application. I've tried listing the "Process To Look For" as both "Dropbox" and "Dropbox.app" with no luck. When I execute a "ps x", I get a matching process similar to "3409 ?? S 0:02.93 /Applications/Dropbox.app/Contents/MacOS/Dropbox -psn_0_421991". Anyone else having similar issues? Solutions? Edit: The problem seems to have fixed itself. I'm not sure why I was experiencing this issue, but I'm not anymore. Maybe when I updated to v8.61. Thanks everyone!

Alright, there is a high probability that I've missed something very basic here. I've set my new update policy (script by UESCDurandal as described in https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=5890). Absolutely awesome script BTW. In any event, I've scoped this to the groups I need it to, however I've tried to set the policy to run on Monday - Thursday 2:30pm to 6pm. This means that I've set my date and time limitations as follows: Do Not execute On: Sunday, Friday, SaturdayDo Not Execute Between 6:00pm and 2:30pm (proper logic form what I remember). While the policy DID NOT run on Saturday or Sunday, it did run on Friday, and it IS running at any time fo the day (so say to logs). In any event, I hope that I'm missing something very basic. It's the start of the new year and my brain has probably run as far away as possible.

I thought SS would not ask for the admin pass. Only happening on a few machines, not all. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

hey all, Is there any way to import license keys from a spreadsheet or .csv file? I'm in the process of setting up License Management in our JSS and I don't look forward to the amount of copying and pasting I will be doing. We have many hundreds (perhaps thousands) of license keys stored in various excel files. I've started to write an Applescript (which I have practically no experience in) that works it's way down a spreadsheet copying the keys to a variable and inputting the values into the JSS webform, but I can't figure out how to tell it to click the "store licenses" button. It would be nice if I could attach a screenshot to show you, but if you go to the "editlicensedsoftware.html" page in the JSS, and click the "licenses" tab and then view source, the button is on line 774. If someone can help me, then I'd be happy to share the script when it's done...

The disk is actually named Macintosh HD and has been formatted twice. Also checked it for errors and nothing was found to be wrong with the drive itself. I'm using an external firewire drive (also tried USB) that has a 10.8.2 install on it with all Casper tools in a folder. This is how we image machines and I've never had this issue in the past. The machine is a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro. I've imaged 50 or so machines of this same age and model without error. Has anyone seen this before? The searches I've come up with all talk of netboot and/or other unrelated terms. Boot Drive = 10.8.2Casper Tools = 8.2MacBook Pro = Mid 2010External Drives = USB 2.0 / USB 3.0 and Firewire

Is it possible to do this mapping? Then I can create smart groups based on the info in AD. Thanks, Matt

I am getting a "To open “Final Cut Server,” you need to download the Java Runtime Environment for Web Start applications" error although Java 6 and 7 have already been installed and the app launches and runs fine as a local administrator. (but not as a managed standard account it seems) I am not sure if this is a ByHost issue or is it possible use a policy to resolve the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We are having an issue where some of our AD users cannot log into Mountain Lion. The common thread is that their primary group id's (GID) are set to "-2" in AD. Not sure how/why this would have happened for these users, but they can all log into Lion without issue, just not ML. Just an FYI; you may not encounter this problem, but it is a major show-stopper for us. --Andy

Morning all. I have what I feel should be a simplistic request that's troubling me. I'm running a Launch Daemon (that ultimately runs as root, as all launch daemons do) that calls an applescript. That's running fine. The applescript, at some point, may need to launch an app. These are the methods tried: tell application "VerifyAndChangePassword" to launch this fails with: /usr/bin/myscript.scpt: execution error: An error of type -10810 has occurred. (-10810) do shell script "open -a /Applications/myapp.app" fails with: /usr/bin/com.bob.myscript.scpt: execution error: LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed for the application /Applications/VerifyAndChangePassword.app with error -10810. (1) any ideas? I may have to write a launch agent that monitors a plist and launches the app from there instead!

Is anyone doing this? I can't seem to get mine to actually fill with anything. I've set the log location to C:Program FilesJSSLogs but the jamfChangeManagement.log file is empty. I've gotten this to work easily before on Linux and OS X JSSes...

Trying to create three separate Smart Groups that gathers all 10.6.x, 10.7.x, 10.8.x Macs. It usually returns zero members. The JSS is very specific listing 10.6.3, or 10.7.2, 10.7.3, etc. I just want to know all the 10.6.x, 10.7.x, 10.8.x. regardless of the dot releases. I know this is possible, just not sure how to do it. Thanks in advance. John K

In a discussion someone mentioned they use purge memory in self service. Unfortunately I can't find the discussion. If it you please can you tell me how you did it? I cant see options in self service so I take it you must have a custom script Thanks
