So I'm wondering if anyone besides me has been having this issue when delivering dmgs through a JSS policy. It will give this error on some macs, but not others. It's an odd issue I've been experiencing.

To give an example, I created a printer drivers dmg utilizing a composer workflow. I tested it on a lab macbook air that I have handy and everything works fine. I test it on a second lab macbook pro retina I have and it gives me the error in question. But heres the trick, I have the policy setup to deliver the drivers once per computer, when I flush the error in my JSS, restart the mac, and try to push it out on the machine again it works just fine. I for the life of me cannot deduce what would be causing this issue to happen when its initially delivered.

Any help would be appreciated!

an incomplete download of the disk image would give that type of error. You would need to pull the downloaded file from /Library/Applications Support/JAMF to prove that theory.

Same issues here, ever since the 9.8 upgrade actually. Random flushing of the policy mostly seems to cure it, but there are a few random machines that constantly get the same error.
