CasperAdmin Configuration & Policy

[ToriAnneke]

Hey all,

Is it possible to 'call' (not sure if I'm using the right word here) a Configuration that has been setup in CasperAdmin from a Policy?

So instead of adding packages/scripts/etc to a policy, add a Configuration from CasperAdmin that has all the packages I need to install/uninstall.

Not sure if that makes sense.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think so.
You could probably do it the other way round if that helps somehow,
put all contents of your Admin Config into a policy with a custom trigger
and replace all the packages in your Config with a payload free package (set to install at reboot) or script that runs

jamf policy -trigger yourcustomtrigger

I wish! And then imagine that if you modify a configuration later that casper then goes and changes all the clients that have that configuration automagically for you.

I do a similar thing to what chris has suggested, i call this as a first boot setup policy. basically installs the base app list and scripts to configure the system after a fresh image

Yeah. I do it that way.

I have a policy that contains all the packages, dmg, scripts, etc.. and I call it with a custom trigger.

Maybe it can be a feature request?
