Hey all,
We've been using JAMF for the last few years, but have stuck with deploying large images instead of workflow-based deployment. Recently, I've been testing package deployment and love it (using JAMF Imaging and an unbooted-OS made by AutoDMG).
However, we're now looking into utilizing our DEP. I have some questions, however:
1) From what I understand, DEP will enroll the computer during the setup assistant phase, and then we can set up policies to run "On Enrollment" (hopefully specifically PreStage Enrollment). Those policies will install all our required packages. Does that sound like the proper procedure to install various packages on a new computer?
2) If that is the case, how will we do configuration profiles to set up our various settings? I don't see an option to only apple the profiles to pre-stage enrolled copmuters, and I don't want to simply scope it to a huge pool of all computers as we don't want to affect computers already deployed. Maybe put configuration profiles into packages? Or, if I enable only deploying to newly assigned devices?
3) Right now, we name computers based on naming convention that requires some manual input. How would this be done? Maybe a script that prompts for the name of the computer?
Thanks for the assistance. I'm probably missing something basic in some of this, but I'd really like to get at least towards package deployment if not full DEP integration.
