DEP loginwindow splash

[rwinfie]

Are there any (zero touch) DEP splash buddy style tools that run at the login window and do not require user to login first to initiate ?

i heard that DEPnotify is able to run at login window.

Maybe that's suitable for your environment?

@padpk I've not been able to get DEPnotify to run at loginwindow. Unless I'm doing something wrong.

I may have to tap someone in the Slack channel.

look like by default DEPnotify does not work at the login window in my testing

According to the #depnotify Slack channel:

DEPNotify will wait until the Dock is running in order to launch...[Joel] is working on NoMAD-Login that will allow something to run on top of the login window.

It's possible to make a jamfHelper message appear at the login window, but that's only going to give you a basic screen and not any detailed status of what's happening.

Depending on what you need you could use LoginLog to display the results of a log file over the login window. I have two separate DEP workflows that start with the account created in the Prestage auto logging in after a restart. This allows DEPNotify to launch and setup our student/lab machines without user input. I use ADEPT for staff machines to collect user input for naming the computer and creating the user account as part of the setup process.

You mind sharing your autologin script , I’d like to add it to my workflow to solve this issue
