Checksum of the jamf agent did not match. Upgrading jamfHelper.app... Loop (8.6.1)

[bentoms]

One of my managed clients (a 10.8.4 server DP), is submitting malformed inventory..

Basically inventory is failing & it has a Recon date of 11/30/0002 at 12:00 AM in the JSS!

I have re-repaired permissions, verified the disk.. Removed the mac from the JSS.. Removed the framework.. Made sure that DNS is correct & flushed the cache on the client.. Removed all JAMF keychain items & yet we still keep getting errors like the below:

With the assistance of the forever helpful Drew@JAMF & my NW team we isolated this due to a network issue on the site that was only affecting the server due to a WINS setting.

Odd. But A-OK now.
