Installing DMG / Apple ID

[evobe]

I'm new to administering Macs and very new to using JSS. I have two challenges that I'm trying to figure out. Currently we get a new mini in and provision everything manually. We've got a self service policy to push out the El Capitan upgrade for our laptops and an automatic policy for our mini's. The problems I'm having is that A. I'd like to install all our pkgs and dmgs automatically on first enrollement and B. I'd like to remove the apple ID prompt. I've seen the script for removing the Apple ID popup from rtrouton but I'm not sure exactly how to implement it whenever I try to add the script into composer it breaks the automatic installation. I'm probably doing it incorrectly. If anyone can guide me or point out some resources I'd be grateful. If I wasn't clear enough I'd be glad to add more details.

Thanks

Hi, installing pkgs and dmgs will depend on how you are doing the deployment. Are you using Casper Imaging? If you are, you can just add them to the imaging configuration. If not, it would be policies.

the rtrouton method is a script you would run on first boot after running Casper imaging.

As an alternative, here's a custom config profile that we use that surpasses the iCloud setup: https://github.com/amsysuk/public_config_profiles/blob/master/First_Boot_Profiles/SupressiCloud.mobi...

Currently updated to support up to 10.11.2, although can be easily edited for 10.11.3.

Thanks for the information. We solved the first issue by just using a trigger since we're not using imaging. Now I'll be able to integrate the apple id prompt removal and that'll just be icing on the cake.
