Is there a way to customize the new splash screen that shows up after
imaging a machine and installing say Adobe products? Nice touch by the way,
it makes it easier to notice a machine is being imaged still instead of
looking for the jamf helper name in the menu bar.

However, I'd like to throw our company logo in there maybe, and maybe throw
some text in that splash screen. Is it possible?

    I had a similar request for customization so I could script the installation of like Final Cut Pro to happen at startup as well so the package wasn't cached, it's just so big with the content.

    It'd call the binary with the text/images I'd want on the screen, etc.

    I like your idea.

    Hi,

    I would go along with this and love to be able to edit the first run to
    add final cut studio, logic studio and komplete all of which are over
    40gb installs,

    Also editing the Self Service background would be nice as well with a
    corporate logo

    Hi Criss,

    You can modify the first run script at least to be able to install things by creating a script you have set to run at reboot that calls the binary using the install verb, but of course you can't call the jamf helper splash screen. You probably already knew this and specifically meant edit it like we've said with the splash screen so sorry if I'm repeating info.

    I have another use for being able to customize the jamfHelper, and that is for my nightly maintenance script I run at startup during a reboot in the AM.

    Depending on the amount of data being moved around it would be nice if someone couldn't see the login screen while that process was occurring and tell them maintenance is being performed until it had finished.
