@arnoldtaw ok so I didn't cut out the rest of the statement in the script like what you did there, I tried that exact statement prior to posting.  should I keep the echo statement below?  it should still work in theory.  I'll give it a whirl. Thank you

 - This is used in DEPNotify Starter but there are many options.

CURRENT_USER=$( scutil <<< "show State:/Users/ConsoleUser" | awk '/Name :/ && ! /loginwindow/ { print $3 }' )

CURRENT_USER=$( echo "show State:/Users/ConsoleUser" | scutil | awk '/Name :/ && ! /loginwindow/ { print $3 }' )

You can refer the below article by @arminBriegel where explains the difference of each method. Thank you @arminBriegel

this was the full string that was tested:

Works like a charm and eliminates any errors when running the workflow.

Also had good luck with curentUser=$(/bin/ls -l /dev/console | /usr/bin/awk '{ print $3 }')

If we're talking about the DEP script from JAMF from 2018 (v2.0.1), what line in the script is this?  I think I'm having the same issue and want to check it out.

Nevermind.  I found it.  Lines 512-514.

I was going to say somewhere near 500 - I ended up just searching for the python callouts with every script I had in the system using an editor so I could find them easier.  a number of replacements listed here will solve the issue vs re-tooling for v3.

Hey, 

First time poster here I am struggling with this currently. The way we were doing this in the past was a pop up with prompt the user to put name of computer, asset tag, Site and if student or staff device. This step fails now as a result of this error 

Our old code was this 

# After the Apple Setup completed. Now safe to grab the current user.
CURRENT_USER=$(/usr/bin/python -c 'from SystemConfiguration import SCDynamicStoreCopyConsoleUser; import sys; username = (SCDynamicStoreCopyConsoleUser(None, None, None) or [None])[0]; username = [username,""][username in [u"loginwindow", None, u""]]; sys.stdout.write(username + "\\n");')
echo "$(date "+%a %h %d %H:%M:%S"): Current user set to $CURRENT_USER." >> "$DEP_NOTIFY_DEBUG"

tried a few of the above but the current one is this:

# After the Apple Setup completed. Now safe to grab the current user.
CURRENT_USER=$(/usr/bin/stat -f "%Su" /dev/console)
echo "$(date "+%a %h %d %H:%M:%S"): curentUser=$(/bin/ls -l /dev/console | /usr/bin/awk '{ print $3 }')

I am getting this error:

I could use some help getting the functionality back. I worked with Jamf directly and was told to ask here also.

Thanks for any help you can provide! 

You have errors in lines 811 and 816.  Missing parentheses or something. Not sure without knowing what line is which.  Here's ours:

# After the Apple Setup completed. Now safe to grab the current user and user ID
CURRENT_USER=$(echo "show State:/Users/ConsoleUser" | scutil | awk '/Name && ! /loginwindow/ { print $3 }')
CURRENT_USER_ID=$(id -u $CURRENT_USER)

That did the trick! replace the lines of code and its working again. Thanks!

I don't know why there were errors in line 811 but they went away. So no issues there.

Thanks again!

Great! Enjoy.
