SO I've been working on a script to run on FirstStart that "suppresses" jamf's jamfHelper with a jamfHelper of my own, customized and controlled exactly the way I want. I'm currently using this for my 10.8 imaging as the entire upheaval of almost every Mac workflow here is a great opportunity for me to tear down our Mac management infrastructure and start fresh (excepting what I'VE put in place of course :P ).
I keep running into a crappy boot loop if I specify for this script to reboot the box. If I do not, it just sits at the "enter an Apple ID" prompt since JAMF's process was interrupted with the whole automated login thing it does on FirstRun. If i log in manually, it finishes what it was doing, and reboots never to cause an issue again. I don't want that for obvious reasons. I THINK that just allowing this script to exit gracefully will cause the jamf firstRun package to continue normally. Am I correct? There's probably a better way to do this, but I'm not sure how since enrollment doesn't happen until reboot after imaging. Maybe a daemon? Not sure how to install one on a non-boot volume.
