+8Just finished listening to episode 102 of the Mac Admins Podcast. The guest, Armin Briegel mentioned a handy app named Erase & Install. The app is a wrapper around the startosinstall command. It's very user friendly and can detect a macOS installer anywhere on the machine. If anyone is looking for an alternative to startosinstall in Self Service this is a great solution.

+20Indeed it is great!
+3Grahamn Pugh has done an "extension" of the original script that's made by Greg Neagle. We're currently using this to upgrade computers where the user is not an admin.
+4@martinwiden a silly question .. how can I use the options of this script on Jamf ( i'm pretty new here )
+10I just wish with the limited space available on current model macs (that our school buys) and the size of current OS installers there was a way these could be created without having to cache or download a full installer on users machines. Like a way to use the recovery drive. Just complaining for the sake of complaining.
