package FUT FEU

[jonscott]

Hi All,

Maybe I'm just not doing this correctly, but I was under the impression that selecting FEU for a DMG package would copy files/folders from under /Users into the respective locations for existing user accounts on a machine. In this case, copying plist files from DMG/Users/administrator/Library/Preferences into any existing accounts under /Users on the Mac. But it's not working. Should it be?

This is an Acro9 Pro package, trying to push plists to control various settings – self heal, registration, auto updates. Do I push these separately? Or just MCX?

Thanks,
Jon

FEU does not work with directory accounts as of Casper 5.0 or 6.0. It will

I've taken to using Apple Installer packages to install files to
/private/tmp with a postflight script to copy the files to existing home
folders and the User Template.

This is still on my wish list with the JAMF folks to make work but they
haven't seen it as a priority.

Also, these packages with FEU and FUT need to be built in Composer as a DMG.

Thanks for the info - these are directory accounts.
I've started on a postflight script in the DMG to copy those files over
from the local admin account, where FEU is working. Maybe better to create
a separate package as you said...

Thanks,
Jon
