Hi,
When i upload the "Install macOS High Sierra.app" into Casper Admin the display name & file name being created is Install macOS High Sierra.app.tar
Why is a .tar file being created?
All the manuals i've read show the installer being re-created as a .dmg file.
Is there a better way to create an OS X installer?

All macOS installers after 10.12.4 do that as Apple changed something so JAMFs in-place upgrades do not work.
Use this method instead:

Thanks kowsar.ahmed
Do you have a current macOS Self Service Upgrade policy including the steps involved ?
