We have a number of clients who are connecting to our guest network while logged in to an AD account and as a result, can not log back in to the machine until it is plugged into an ethernet port. Here is the script I'm using to clean up the preferred network list and require admin privs to change networks:
#!/bin/sh
#Determines Wi-Fi Interface, clears out all preferred networks and re-add's hsd2
wifi=`/usr/sbin/networksetup -listallhardwareports | grep -A 1 Wi-Fi | grep Device | awk '{print $2}'`
networksetup -removeallpreferredwirelessnetworks $wifi
networksetup -setairportpower $wifi off
networksetup -setairportpower $wifi on
networksetup -addpreferredwirelessnetworkatindex $wifi hsd2 0 WPA2 somepasswordhere
networksetup -setairportnetwork $wifi hsd2
sleep 20
/usr/libexec/airportd prefs RequireAdminNetworkChange=YES
sleep 20
This is placed at /Library/Application Support/JAMF/bin and then executed with an sh command within the policy. The script is executing perfectly for those devices on the guest network. They will drop all preferred networks and reconnect back to the hsd2 network, however the JSS is reporting the script as failed, which I'm guessing is due to the network connection being severed while the policy is running. Here is a sample error log:

The results of this policy were not logged at the time of execution.
The actual execution time was Mon Dec 8 11:16:50 MST 2014.
Is there any way other than the sleep command to delay the reporting back to the JSS so I don't get these erroneous failure logs?
Thanks,
John
