Management options Missing

Hi all, I am currently having a strange issue here with trying to manage Yosemite imaged machines.
all current systems are on either OS X 10.8.x or 10.9.x and are managed via our JSS without issue.
The issue starts when I try to add a Yosemite machine.
Machines are present in JSS there are just have no MDM Capability as the Management Commands menu is

System Details:
All previous policies are in place New quickADD package created, JSS ( 9.61) Caper suite (9.6)

Can anyone think what may be causing the management commands to drop off?

Thanks calumhunter, but I dont think that is the issue, could be wrong.
as thouse attributes are fine in JSS:

JSS Certificate Validation:Success
Verify Certificate Based Communication:Enabled
Verify MDM Enrollment:Enrolled

But under the General menu I have this:
MDM Capability:No

HI all,
At this point it looks like it may be a curupt quick add package causing issues.
i'll do some more testing and report back.

Cheers

Hi, I've seen the "MDM Capability: No" symptom a few times, often when I'm setting up a new JSS. It's normally been a JSS config issue. As it is working ok for the other client Macs in your case I would feel comfortable saying the JSS config is working.

It's always possible that the network state of the Mac at the point of enrollment isn't quite right, stopping certain features from working.

That being said, I've had a few situations where recon has spat out a problematic QuickAdd package.

sudo jamf removeMdmProfile
sudo jamf enroll -prompt

Does that fix the MDM Capability: No issue? Assuming it's working fine on other Macs. Does the Mac have a serial number available in About This Mac? Date/Time accurate?

Robert, No it did not fix the issue.
Time/Date were correct and there was a serial number displayed.
Turns out it was a combination of things.

  1. There was a certificate issue with the quickadd package
  2. Also an issue with the netboot server defaulting to a non-Yosemite netboot image through Deploy studio

Once these issues were sorted out, everythings seems to be working again.
