I'm writing a simple script to use the silent install switch with Adobe CS4
and would prefer to run the Setup application from a disk image on a server.
We have about a dozen servers in as many locations and I'd like the script
to be smart enough to connect to the current workstation's default server.
Also, I don't like the idea of storing names/passwords in my scripts.
I'd like to see a new property added to the "jamf mount" CLI command similar
to "jamf mount -fileserver", which will query the JSS for the workstation's
default file repository server and mount it for me.
[For anyone interested, my workaround for this is to use Casper to copy the
entire CS4 install directory to the /tmp folder and mount it from there.
That part doesn't require scripting but it's a 3.5GB copy I'd like to avoid.
The JAMF folks have told me CS4 support is planned for Casper 6.1 but no
ETA.]
