^^^ Please ignore this ^^^

All,

I was wondering if we could compile a list of issues that we've seen introduced in Casper 8. Who wants to start the list off?

Thanks.

My biggest issues and my biggest problem with the Casper Suite is when you upgrade, the command line binary and the apps do not auto update. Though apparently in version 8 they fixed this, except self service will not update.

So, I have to write a script that first removes Self service from my client, then does a manual trigger policy to install version 8. I would really prefer that you could just drop the newest Casper Suite DMG into Casper Admin and whenever a client checks in, they will update all apps, including admin, composer, remote, etc.

Other than that, the actual upgrade I have never had a problem and I have been using Casper since version 5. I always backup my database, then upgrade and never once have I had an issue with the upgrade process itself on the JSS.

The only issue we've found is the inventory.xml not having the last recon date field.

Jamf support can supply a correct xml.
