Another thing I see broken is the option "Display status to user during login and logout". I am not getting the pop up messages anymore updating the status of policies running. They are running but the message is not working.

Has anybody got Mountain Lion downloaded and confirmed the ability to block it? Can you post the tag you used in "Restricted Software" for those of us who are waiting forever on overloaded servers! Thanks!

Has anyone set these up to enable netbooting across subnets without a bless command? I'd like to get these set up but don't know enough about it. A key piece of info may be that our DHCP and Netboot server are different boxes. Not sure if this precludes me from going this route. Thanks!

I am having an issue with casper admins progress bar freezing/stopping when I replicate our internal JSS to our external JSS since our update to 8.6 Anyone else seeing this issue?

Hey Guys,I have a heap of 10.6.8 machines that I'm looking at upgrading to Lion as easy as possible for my Tech team. which the Lion NetInstall has proved fantasic... BUT the issue is that the majority of the machines have been created with a dual partition with a secondary "Data" partition with the users profile. When the netinstall installs lion, it creates the Recovery partition, and when booted, and when logged in for the first time, the users home drive is freshly created in the recovery partition, rather than using the previous "data" partition users folders. have spent the last couple nights trying to fix this up with the remove recovery partition script without luck so far... Have any of you encountered this issue? or know how I can rectify this? I believe its an issue how the previous Casper tech setup the partitioning... i have tried creating NetInstalls with the "include Recovery Partition" unchecked in System Image utility, which ha

Is the public version of Mountain Lion the same as the developer GM - build 12A269?

I just installed 8.6 in my dev environment, and i can't seem to enable User-initiated enrollment. The options don't show up in the management framework settings anywhere. I just don't have the "Enrollment Process" tab at all in Computer Management Framework Settings. Anyone have any ideas how to enable this?

I am looking in the policy log but it does not seem to show who edited it last. Is there anywhere to find this?

Hi all, As per the subject, if anyone downloads it from the App store please post the build number. Dev GM Seed was 12A269

Hi JAMF Folks, We just got in some shiny new MBPs. We attempted to netboot one of these to a 10.7.4 netboot image and the unit never boots (just hangs at the gray apple). The interesting thing is that the machine itself is running 10.7.3. I'm guessing that this some build specific issue. We managed to sneak our image onto one computer via another machine and target disk mode. This image is 10.7.4. The computer will not boot the image, we get the "slash" symbol on the screen. Anyone seeing this or found a solution? I am grateful for any feedback. Best,JW

That is all.

I have a number of printers which I recently added via Casper Admin. When I create a smart group to identify computers missing the printer, the list is quite different. If I use remote or create a policy they are all right. It only appears to be a problem for Smart Groups accessing Mapped Printers receipts.

I have a JSS server with a distribution point sitting in once city and want to have another synced to this one sitting in another city. But I want the users of each city to use only the server from each city.is there an easy way to do this? Also any policy to run the sync at certain time?thanks Carmelo

My ordinal DP was on a Mac server and the new DP is on a Win 2008 box. When I try to replicate the DP it says the server could not me mounted and sends me in the direction of an unhelpful log file. Has anyone else had this problem? I've checked my share on the Windows server and that is working fine.

thus far, we've had only one problem in running InstallLion.pkg via self service or by policy: although it does, indeed, update macs from 10.6.8 to 10.7.4, the problem (as some of you have already experienced) is that apple's installer deletes any local, hidden accounts on the mac in question when updating to lion. and, in our case, the local casper mgmt account on each machine is one of those hidden accounts. this means that once a mac has been updated to 10.7.x via that mechanism, i can no longer run any other capser policies. and that, in turn, means i have to find a way around this issue. my first attempts were to create a firstboot script that puts back the deleted admin account but... i'm having problems. our script/agent which runs from it's location in /Library/LaunchAgents is failing with permission errors. and this, even though both the script and the agent are owned by root:wheel and set to permissions of 644. how are you folks dealing with this issue

Hi Guys, I know a lot has already been said on this but I am at a complete brick wall. I created a master collection installer from aamee. I followed the jamf paper on this. When running via policy it fails and tells me to contact the developer. I see people are getting mixed results on this subject. I know of users who deploy with no issues at all. Any new ideas or help would be appreciated. I have tried reading all the posts on the jamf nation but nothing has helped. Thanks Daniel

When I log into the JSS I am greeted with this message Your web server certificate expires in 19 days. I thought I could go to Settings -> Global Management Framework Settings -> Public Key Infrastructure and renew it. I'm not seeing the option there. The old certificate was generated by the JSS. How can I renew it? BTW we are not using Certificate-Based Communication in Settings -> Computer Management Framework Settings -> Security. So I don't know that an expired certificate will be any problem. Thanks,-- jmca

Working with a client that is binding MacBooks to AD and using Casper Suite MCX for management. I have a binding setup in my image playlist, works just fine. However, after imaging, I cannot login as a network user until I login as the local admin first. Once I login as the local admin, log out, and then try to login as the network user, all is it should be. Also, when in terminal I am unable to elevate to sudo using the local admin credentials. However, I can click the padlock in any system preferences pane and authenticate just fine as the local admin. Thoughts?

Using Casper Admin 8.52 I am trying to compile a base image but keep receiving the following error message: external image link I'm rather confused by all of the 3ivx package errors because there are none set to be installed.The OS dmg that I am using for the image was created by my predecessor and has been used for past compilations with no such issues. When I check the Receipts folder on the machine used for compiling I do see the 3ivx packages but don't know what the issue is.

Hi guys Im trying to get a VPN solution working for our home users to connect in and vnc to their workstations. Problem Is the ARD directory access is not going to work for the mobile accounts because I don't run OD and have a setup using ADmitMac. Cutting a long story short I have worked out that Screen Sharing activated for specific users in the System Preferences works and is what I need. Problem is I can't work out how to configure the access for specified users. Ive looked at the ARD kickstart but that's for setting Remote Management and not screen sharing. Does anyone in the community know how to set the access for Screen Sharing (not ARD) for currently 10.6.8 and possibly 10.7.4?

I have created a new CS6 package to deploy via Casper Imaging, and Self Service. I've followed Jamf's white paper and made sure to disable AIR, and ignore conflicts. I'm getting some kind of weird permission problem with the package I create. If I double click on the package on the desktop (where I created it), I can run it just fine. If I stick it on an external drive, I can install it on any Mac. BUT, if I copy it to the CasperShare (using Casper Admin, or manually as suggested by tech support), I can't deploy it. C.I. finishes almost immediately, having failed to copy it to a target machine. If I mount the share, and try to manually copy the file, I get an error telling me that I don't have permissions to do so. I have double-checked, and I have proper permissions for both the share (I can install any other package, EVEN CS 5.5), and at the suggestion of tech support, have even run sudo chmod -R 755 /path/to/CS6.pkg to no avail. I've even recreat

Hi, I am creating a new netboot image from the 2012 macbook pro build, its working for any MBP that shipped with 10.7 but with older MBPs it crashes when trying to launch with the error "Casper Imaging could not find the target disk: Macintosh HD" and then "Error parsing XML for Autorun" I am using Casper 8.31 but I also tested 8.52 with the same results. During my testing I dropped my dmg image to a mid 2010 MBP and tried to launch Casper Imaging, it launched into an image confg automatically and looked like it was trying to run the packages, I killed it and started the app again and got the “could not find the target disk” message anytime after that. Any Ideas or advice would be nice. Thanks.

Hi,I've build a new Netboot image to deploy a new Casper image and I'm running into a couple of problems with both images. I'm rather new at Casper Suite software so please bear with me. I Netboot via a new 10.7 Netboot image and I install a newly created 10.7 image via one of the default configurations. It copies Adobe CS and MS Office software and reboots. It comes to the 'The imaging process is finishing installing software'. This screen takes considerably longer than before the new images. Where is the best place to look for errors and such when this window is active? Is a progress bar of some sort possible in this screen? I want to make absolutely sure that this screen remains active as long as software is being installed. The screen vanishes after about 20 minutes and not all software was installed. The screen vanishes, I end up in a 'Temporary Adobe Install Account' and the machine reboots minutes later. Looking in the Console.app I see soft

Hello, I'm just wondering if it's safe/possible to use the recently released GM Seed of Mountain Lion as a base image? My biggest concern is not being able to apply updates going forward. We will be purchasing a volume license upon release. Has anyone done this before with a previous OS X release? - Jeff

This summer we are switching our wireless network over to 802.1x that requires a certificate to connect. I am wondering if anyone out there has a way that I can push out a wireless profile to these machines at imaging time. We have a bunch of Macbook Airs that we are imaging using thunderbolt and need them to just be able to connect to the wireless when rebooted after imaging, without connecting them to a wired first. I have created a Configuration profile that works fine but only if they are on the network already to see this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help.Rob
