Hey Jason,

Im not in front of one of our machines at the moment, but if memory serves, yu can find the cached packages under /Library/Application Support/JAMF/Waiting Room/

Deleting the from that directory will remove them from being run as cached packages.

Hope that helps!

Pardon my error from eariler, Jason.

The cached packages are located in:

/Library/Application Support/JAMF/Usage/Waiting Room/
(not /Library/Application Support/JAMF/Waiting Room/)

Sorry for the miscommunication!

Keith

I've got the policy set up to prompt them that it's going to reboot after 2 minutes. My understanding, and in my testing, is that the clock didn't start counting until they clicked OK, giving them ample time to save their work. Could something be wrong or am I not understanding this correctly? Attached is a screenshot of the reboot tab on the policy. Thanks!

At /Library/Application Support/JAMF/ there is a Waiting Room and Usage folders (as of this posting in 2014)

For a cached package that I deployed but did not want to execute I used Casper Remote to find and remove the .dmg file that was found in /Library/Application Support/JAMF/Waiting Room/

After running an inventory this updated the JSS to show that no cache packages were on the target machine anymore. Flushing of the system caches or user caches does not work to remove a cached dmg package.
