Hopefully someone here has experienced this before. I have a pre-stage setup that installs Jamf Connect Login and then uses the Notify portion to fully configure the system.

One of the problems I'm running into is the policy I use to setup a default dock (using dockutil) for initial setups isn't getting applied. I'm assuming this is because the user hasn't logged in yet. Anyone have recommendations of how to trigger this? I don't want have it run again after the first time, since people will customize it from where it's set.

    It is, we use a launchdaemon that's installed during the notify stage.

    The launchdaemon runs a script which waits for the finder process to start before running our dockutil policy.

    Struggling to get this right. I see both of them show up, but the daemon never executes the script

    Thanks, I ended up getting it to run by adding a launchctl command to load the plist in the policy I was deploying it from
