Issues running remote enrollment with recon

[a_stonham]

Hi Guys,

Has any one seen this? We don't enroll many macs using the recon app so have not noticed this until now.

When trying to do a remote enrollment with recon we get the following error.

However i can scp over a quick add package and install it via ssh just fine.

Hello stonham,

Try deleting the com.jamfsoftware.jamf.plist file from below location and start the re enroll process.

/Library/Preferences/

Hope it works!

Hi @jamfvijju

Unfortunately that did not work.
rm /Library/Preferences/com.jamfsoftware.
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.jamfsoftware.
killall cfprefsd

I even tried from another mac still now luck.

I just enabled the root user on a test machine and tried enrolling as root and it worked.

Seems to just not work with standard admin accounts.

Solved my own issue. The admin account in question had a $ sign in the password.
