Hi everyone:
This has come up in discussion lately and well I have had this conversation before. How do you all document what you do with Casper and your OS X Servers, images, client configurations etc?
I have a lot of bad habits when it comes to being a Sys Admin. I openly admit that. For example if permissions are botched on a package, instead of me recreating the package (which is the proper way) I will just write a one or two line script that fixes the problem and then attach it to a Casper policy. Thanks to the divine wisdoms of the Jamf software crew at the CCA training last summer I no longer do that. Mainly it is so the next guy/gal who comes in to work at my current place of work isn't lost with tons of different things I do. I am the type of person that will script out everything in a shell script if I can.
So, when you all build packages a certain way do you document it for your co-workers? Do you have a wiki? Do you take screen shots?
I know this isn't really about Casper, but more of a question do you document your work with Casper.
If you want to take this conversation off list feel free and you can email me directly.
I would like to sometime implement a wiki for internal use where I can document how I do stuff so if I ever go on vacation, leave, or whatever the people I work with aren't left in the dark. Plus it gives me something to do, and I do kind of enjoy writing.
Thanks
Tom
