how to stop _mbsetupuser account from taking ownership of computers

[DBrowning]

does anyone know how i can stop this account used when someone is upgrading to El Capitan from taking over the Users and Location section? I've now manually deleted the account from the JSS 5 times and it keeps coming back anytime someone upgrades.

I suspect you have a script that's assigning the User to the computer using "jamf recon -endUsername". If so, could you post the script that you're using. If not, explain how you're assigning users to the computer in the JSS and we can maybe track why that field is being updated.

thanks @bpavlov

I was using

who |grep console |awk '{print $1}'

but now i'm using

ls -l /dev/console | cut -d " " -f4

Hi @ddcdennisb i have the same issue. does the 'console' and 'who' get the correct user now?

from 10.11.2

ls -l /dev/console | cut -d " " -f4

will get root. You will need to check your scripts and make sure instead you are using

who | grep console | awk '{print $1}'

:(

will need to check again as my personal laptop seems fine with it :/

Apologies seems after install from fresh and its ok :)
