Inventory AD status as "Not Bound" when it is.

[thanzig]

I have been imaging some test macs and have bound them multiple ways (AD Binding during Casper Imaging, Enrolling through URL and Configuration Profile) but many are not showing up as bound in Inventory. I think it must have to do with Inventory not properly updating but I don't know where to start in troubleshooting. Any ideas?

I found one previous discussion on this issue:

What happens when you run jamf recon -verbose? Is it checking to see if a computer is bound?

sudo jamf recon -verbose

My rather weak guess is, your workflow has not ran recon successfully in order to ascertain whether a machine is bound or not.

Here is the front end of my recon scan...

Note the "Checking AD status... toward the end of snippet." Do you show this?

Running "sudo jamf recon -verbose" did fix the issue, but the checking AD was one of the first things to show up. All machines that I ran that on are now being reported as bound. So what does that mean? Info is not being properly sent to the JSS.

What angles would you take to fix this issue during the imaging process?

Thanks for the help!!! I'm still learning all of this.

Found out something new, I am pushing a configuration profile that has the Directory payload configured (in addition to binding during imaging) If I remove the payload from the Profile, machines show up as unbound in inventory even if I run "sudo recon jamf". The only way a machine shows up as bound in inventory is if the Profile has a directory payload.
