Is automatic enrollment to the JSS possible?
I ask because I have a base image that I apply to redeployed Macs (we thin image our new Macs), and would like that redeployment process to be as automatic as possible (i.e. little to no touch by a tech). At the moment after the base image is applied, our tech has to open Safari and use self-initiated enrollment or installs the Quickadd package from a USB thumb drive.
Thanks in advance for any advice - I'm just getting going with Casper.

You could add a recon created QuickAdd.pkg to run on first start up?

Something like a launchdaemon that installs the quick add and then self destructs, maybe.

+1 to the idea of a one time use LaunchDaemon. While we don't use them specifically for the above purpose, we do sometimes use those for other reasons, such as a recon right after reboot that may need to happen. It could work.

how is your base image applied? Can you not use the same tools to install the quick add package at first boot?
I'm thinking something like deploystudio? this is what we do in our environment

Thanks for the advice. We now make use of Casper Imaging, which automatically enrolls systems to the JSS.
