JSS Address

[#1]

Hey All

Just wondering if there is a simple way to update the JSS server address on all the clients?
We first installed the JSS without DNS - so the clients all have an internal ip address as the JSS address. I would like to replace it with a fully qualified domain - so they can access from school and at home.

Thanks

Justin

Try this script out. Replace the variables “previousServer” and “newServer” with your server addresses. This will basically find the previous address, replace it with the new one and write a new config file. Then it will replace the old config file with the new one.

#!/bin/sh

previousServer="10.10.10.10"
newServer="casperserver.domain.com"

if [ -f /etc/jamf.conf ]; then sed "s/$previousServer/$newServer/g" /etc/jamf.conf > /etc/jamf.conf.new mv -f /etc/jamf.conf.new /etc/jamf.conf
fi

The built-in method would be to use the jamf binary. You can make a policy
to run on startup for all machines and in the Advanced area on the Run field
enter something like

/usr/sbin/jamf createConf -server <YOUR FQDN> -ssl

We use the ­ssl to make sure the secure connection is the default. This
will re-generate the /etc/jamf.conf file from scratch.
