Hi I'm creating an update script for the application Dropbox.app. Now I would like to grab the version number from https://www.dropbox.com/install. I tried with following shell command:. #!/bin/sh latestver=`/usr/bin/curl -s -A https://www.dropbox.com/install | egrep -o '<span id="version_str">* for Mac</span>'` But it doesn't work. Any hint? Thanks!

I'm currently trying to update Mobile Device ConfigurationProfiles' exclusions scope In order to do this, the following steps are being taken: Read the Mobiledeviceconfigurationprofile (in XML). Modify that configuration profile (Add a mobiledevicedevice to the exclusions/mobiledevices scope). Use that updated profile as the body for the PUT request when updating a profile. After these actions I get a Http 409 status code returned : Note: The code examples below have been modified for easy reading. so for example, exception handling is not included. Example C# Code //Service Declaration JSSApi.MdmInterfaceClient AppleApi = new JSSApi.MdmInterfaceClient(); //Read the Profile - Scroll down to see response var XmlProfileResponse = AppleApi.ReadMobileConfigurationProfile(mConfig.Id.ToString(), inXML:true); XElement XmlDocX = XElement.Parse(XmlProfileResponse); XmlDocX.Element("scope").Element("exclusions").Element("mobile_devices") .

I have a policy to upgrade from 10.7 OR 10.8 to 10.9 in Self Service. I left the settings in the Restart Options to it's default for the 'user logged in action' which is RESTART IF A PACKAGE OR UPDATE REQUIRES IT and for the 'delay' AMOUNT OF TIME TO WAIT BEFORE THE RESTART BEGINS = 5 minutes. I ran the policy from self service, 5 minute box popped up informing me to save, warning me that the computer would reboot in 5 minutes and to log out. I waited 5 + minutes without doing anything, leaving the pop up box on the screen, not clicking the OK button, to see if the mac would reboot but it did not, then I logged out and about 5 minutes later it rebooted. Is this how it is supposed to work? should it restart after 5 minutes even if the user is logged in? even if the user does not click the OK button when they are told that the computer will restart in 5 minutes?

Is it possible to retrieve a list of devices based on a Site?When retrieving a list of all devices, no site or anything related to a device's building/site is being exposed through the api.

I was helping another JSS install figure out why their imaging was taking 1h40m while ours was only taking 15m. Turns out the issue is that theirs was installing and ours was block copying. I let them know that was the issue, and they asked what the difference was. I had no answer other than that one was significantly faster. I tried looking it up online, but I can't find a satisfactory explanation of the difference. What exactly is the difference between block copy and an install of an OS?

This is a strange question... but can anyone think of a way to limit access to a Self Service Policy to only the assigned user of a machine in the JSS? So if User A is the assigned user of Machine A, and User B is the assigned user of Machine B. I want User A to be able to see and run the policy only Machine A, and have it not be available in Self Service on Machine B for their user. And vice versa. I should specific the users in question would be LDAP users.

Hi All, I'm currently having an issue when enrolling my mac. I can successfully push software, policy's, AD binding e.t.c which i have created within JSS. But when it come down to logging in to my account on the MAC I'm having issues. It is saying no network accounts are available. When I am login to my local account it find the Ethernet fine and able to browse the internet and go on webpages etc. I and my team both think that it is the docking station that maybe causing issue of not allowing the mac to see the network. I'm currently using an Elgato Thunderbolt 2 docking station. please I need some help!!

Has anyone found a way to suppress/bypass this screen asking users to sign into Cloud Storage?

We added 3 local accounts for video editing on a lab of 2013 iMacs. It added the accounts with no issues.Video1, Video2, Video3. All with the same password. When logging into any one of them you are prompted for the the Admin password to repair the applications folder. Video1 & 2 both have no access to the Desktop, Downloads, or Documents folders. Video 3 does.Upon looking into the permissions for Video1 & 2's folders, Video3 has Read&Write access while Everyone Else is denied access, rendering the accounts unusable.We are going to go through and delete the accounts and add them manually as a temporary fix, but doing this in a busy school district is very difficult. How can I add accounts without getting permissions errors?

I have a couple questions for creating a Disk Encryption Configuration 1 - does individual recovery key get stored in JSS ?2 - If I choose 'management account' to be ENABLED, what 'management account' is it enabling? is it the 'managed by' listed in the JSS for that computer in the General section ?

One of the reasons we opted for DEP program for ipads was to avoid iCloud locked ipads. We have an ipad now which is assigned to DEP but still locked with student's iCloud ID. This is nuisance because the iPad was purchased by the school and remains school property until the device is Disowned from the DEP portal. If this is happening then either my information is not correct or DEP seems to have some loophole.

I'm trying to package and deploy LEGO mindstorms education NXT Software v2.1 to clients running OSX 10.8.4The installation CD supports up-till OSX 10.6 and there is a patch (from LEGO) which enables the software to run on 10.8 I run the install the disc, complete the install and restart (required by app). After which I install the patch and open the software to check if its working and it works! I then package it with composer (I have tried Normal snapshot and New & Modified snapshot) and push it to the client. Pushes successfully but an error pops up when I click on the appError code:1003 Any ideas?Thanks!

My company was purchased about 18 months ago and we are now working on Migrating my user over to the new domain. Users in the office this is no issue. We have a few remote employees that will need to get migrated as well. Does anyone know of a way to keep a VPN connection Live with Junos Pulse? I have tried using the Fast User Switching but once I click on Login Window, my connection is dropped. I have also tried using terminal and the login command, which allows the account to auth but doesn't created the home Dir it goes to /var/empty. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hello all, I'm attempting to set the "Require Password After Screensaver" to NOT require a password in Yosemite via configuration profile. I have uploaded: <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "{field{*fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"}}{fldrslt cf4 http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd}}"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>askForPassword</key> <integer>0</integer> </dict> </plist>} as a custom configuration. The JSS seems to read it fine, showing:external image link However, none of my enrolled machines show the setting as disabled. The setting itself is unavailable (greyed out), so the computer is reading the config profile (as it also shows under profiles), and I can affect the require password timeframe option by adding: <key>askForPasswordDelay</key> <integer>900</integer> But for the li

I had a user working remotely enroll into JSS via the Casper Agent web-enroll. The machine was successfully added to Casper but then an automatic encryption policy kicked off (this has since been disabled and all encryption is done manually.), rebooted as per the policy and she immediately lost access to any local accounts and the encryption policy failed. This makes sense because the machine lost connectivity to Casper after it rebooted because the user was off-site. To make matters worse, our svcCasperAdmin account has a unique password automatically and randomly-generated. As it stands, the user is only able to see the svcCasperAdmin and Guest accounts when rebooting with no access to the former and no use outside of Safari to the latter. We were able to procure the recovery FileVault2 encryption key via Casper but because it's last communication/check-in was prior to the encryption, this key is not recognized by the svcCasperAdmin account. Any ideas on accessing the svcCasper

Does anyone know which plist this option for Apple Remote Desktop lies "Allow control of this computer when this application is running". I would like to create an MCX to make that option active. Thanks!

Hello, I have a ticket with JAMF open. We have been having a large amount of issues lately, and I decided to drop our old Casper infrastructure and do a total overhaul. So I have a brand new manually installed JSS (on rhel). The main issue I'm having at this point is that the tomcat cert isn't seeming to work properly. What I mean by this is that I have created a new java keystore and have imported signed tomcat and root certs signed by my AD CA. Browser-wise everything seems to be working fine, however I start to see things fall apart when I try enrolling my JDS and running the jamfds policy command. It says that the cert is bad... the server name either does not match, or it isn't signed. The other place I see a problem is in the Tomcat Settings page where there should be specifics about the cert, see attachment. Has anyone run into this issue? Do you have any suggestions?

It seems that I can no longer get the security-mode from the following methods on Yosmemite: echo "<result>nvram -p | grep security-mode</result>"orecho "<result>system_profiler | grep security-mode</result>"or echo "<result>/Library/Application Support/JAMF/bin/setregproptool -c</result>" I use the setregproptool placed in the JAMF/bin folder to set the EFI password using a policy at first login. The machine asks for the EFI password when option booting, but I just need the output for reporting/compliance. Is anyone else seeing this issue?

Hello folks, I hope everyone is doing well and that all the school system admins out there are having a smooth transition back. I am having a problem with some of our Self Service policies in OS X. The ones in question will display "Gathering Information..." along with a very quick progress bar when the user attempts to install them. Nothing actually gets installed on the machine and no policy logging event is generated by the action. I thought something was possibly corrupt with these policies or their packages until I removed their AD group limitations and set them to "All Computers" or "Specific Computers" only. When the AD limitations are gone, they work like a charm through Self Service. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas? Thanks as always!

I did some searching and couldn't find much about this feature. Does it work to help to distribute downloads over multiple servers? Is anyone else using it? I'm just using standard SMB/HTTP file shares that I sync manually with CasperAdmin, not a JDS. Thanks, ~Ted

For background, we are using DEP and want to force a password change to the users account once we deliver the machine. So we create the account out of the box, the machine logs in and policies apply, and then when we deliver the machine they have to change their pw. The policy runs a simple script: sudo pwpolicy -u $USER -setpolicy "newPasswordRequired=1" The script works great and when you reboot the user is forced to change the password. The problem is that we are getting popups at login for "talagent wants to use the "Local Items" keychain," "Messages Agent wants to the use the "Local Items" keychain," and "cloudpaird wants to use the "local items" keychain." This is a persistent error until removing ~/Library/Keychain/reallyLongString which isn't a viable solution, especially since the string is different every time. Are other people seeing this issue? Or are you forcing a pw change via a different met

Two weeks ago, we made our master DP a JDS instance running on Ubuntu 12.04LTS. Everything was working great until this morning when Casper Admin started prompting that "The master distribution point could not be mounted". I rebooted the JDS server and receive the same error. There doesn't seem to be much documentation for the JDS, so I was hoping someone could point me in the proper direction for troubleshooting why all of a sudden we are no longer able to mount the DP. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks,Matt

Hi all, Hoping someone can help me here. We're going to be deploying crashplan ProE out to our org soon. In the installer script on the local machine there is a variable for %CP_USERNAME% (or similar) which needs to be the individuals email address. Is there anyway to pipe the casper $EMAIL variable into the Crashplan username variable? We do not have AD/LDAP to perform this function unfortunately. Once again, thank you all in advance.
