How would you go about finding out why casper is only reporting: Boot Partition Encrypted vs All Partitions Encrypted, when I go into the inventory, I only see one drive and it says 100% encrypted.

Hi, What i'm trying to do is to run a query in our firstrun script, on the JSS for the Mac it's currently running on. All it's trying to do is to see if the department and building settings are correctly configured. (Our JSS occasionally doesn't configure these fields properly via prestage imaging.) If they are, it skips a section of code that would give a menu choice. Here's what i've got so far (in a highly simplified version): #!/bin/bash JSSUSR="x" JSSPWD="x" JSSURL=$( /usr/bin/defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.jamfsoftware.jamf.plist jss_url ) JSSPATH="JSSResource/computers/macaddress" MACMAC=$( networksetup -getmacaddress en0 | awk '{print $3}' | sed 's/:/./g' ) BUILDING=$( curl -s -u $JSSUSR:$JSSPWD $JSSURL$JSSPATH/$MACMAC | xpath //computer/location/building/text | sed -e 's/<building>//;s/</building>//' ) DEPT=$( curl -s -u $JSSUSR:$JSSPWD $JSSURL$JSSPATH/$MACMAC | xpa

After three and a half years, I decided it was time to move on so I explored, found and accepted another job. I gave notice on Dec 24, and this is my final week (two weeks is never enough at this level). Company is Capgemini, client is Warner Bros., it's a great opportunity to manage a 2000+ Mac environment, working for a great Burbank team. Some of you met my boss Mauricio Trigueros when the two of us went to JNUC 2012. He's a great boss (hands off and empowering) and you'll be working with other top notch tower leads. Happy to answer any questions if you're interested - trust me this is a rare opportunity to work at a high profile multimedia company with a great team led by an awesome Director. :) Mauricio should be posting the gig soon.

Hello,I'm unsure how exactly to display the version of Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.x in my Inventory.I'm guessing I need extension attributes to accomplish this and I have a few that I hacked together or was given, yet I'm unsure how to exactly form the necessary script for SEP.Thanks for any assistance.

Hi, Using OS X 10.6.8, we are trying to programmatically change com.apple.dock settings to enforce some security guidelines at our company.Everything is done through a perl script, and works absolutely flawlessly when I run it locally on the computer I want to change, logged on as myself. Here is a basic snippet of what we've got:-----------------------------#!/usr/bin/perl $user = "bob";$file = "/Users/$user/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock"; # Force Top-Right hot corner to "Start Screen Saver"`defaults write $file wvous-tr-corner -integer 5`;`defaults write $file wvous-tr-modifier -integer 0`;`killall Dock`;-----------------------------However, when the change is executed from our JSS, it is doing something odd...The change is made to the dock plist file, however the Dock is reset to the system default settings. It looks like this only happens if the script actually makes a change. (i.e., if wvous-tr-corner was already set to 5, that would blo

We seem to be running into an issue where none of our profiles will deploy. I'm fairly certain that it revolves around some sort of database issue, but we haven't been able to determine the cause. I'm fairly certain if i restore our database to last nights backup, profiles will deploy. I just made a blank profile to see if even it would deploy and its stuck in pending status. All polices are applying as they should. Here is what it looks like in our JSS Install Configuration Profile Empty Profile Push notification sent 2012-05-16 14:02:34 2012-05-16 14:02:35 Install Configuration Profile 802.1X for Lion Push notification sent 2012-05-16 12:55:42 2012-05-16 14:02:35 Has anyone else ran into this before?

Hey all, I'm running a single OS X based 8.6 JSS with the MySQL database hosted on another OS X server. We will eventually be clustering this JSS with 2 additional OS X JSS boxes. Today the users connect direct, but will eventually be load balanced, but we have to go thru a complicated internal auditing process before we do so., For now we are stuck with the standalone JSS . we have about 1100 Macs connecting to this single JSS, and while i know thats a lot, things are running fairly smooth with the exception of of the JSS web app becoming unresponsive when we try to get Hardware/Software history in Details on an enrolled Mac. When this happens, all requests to the JSS webapp just hangs. Other Casper apps seem to work, just slowly. attempts to restart Tomcat via command line (locally or over ARD) do not work, and eventually we have to reboot the JSS. Once this is done, everything is working again for a few days or until someone clicks the HW/SW History link. Load balan

Hey all, Having an issue with a restrictions config profile. The config profile has a restriction set to block access to the Profiles preference pane. However it's also blocking access to all the of third party preference panes, i.e, Wacom, etc. Nothing is checked off in the config to make this occur. Is this a bug or am I missing something? Thanks!

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"... Gathering Policy Information from https://blah.blah:8443//... Executing Policy Install Adobe Design and Premium CS6... Mounting afp://blah.blah/CasperShare to /Volumes/CasperShare...

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
