We have been deploying the sdl license adobe pkgs by attaching local USB storage then running a script post imaging. 

#!/bin/sh

/usr/sbin/installer -pkg /Volumes/Deploy/Fa21BaseFTVM1Install.pkg -target /

Not using imaging now but in testing this with jamf remote doesn't work:


Script result: installer: Error - the package path specified was invalid: '/Volumes/Deploy/Fa21BaseFTVM1Install.pkg'

if running the command locally via terminal it works. Any ideas? Do remotely invoked commands not have access to removable storage?

    Since all policies from Jamf run as root, it's possible that the script can't be run as root. So, to test this theory out, run the script as the user

    To run as a user:

    #Get logged in user

    curUser="`stat -f%Su /dev/console`"

    #run script as user

    sudo -u $curUser ENTERYOURSCRIPTHERE

    Will try this. However noticed this error only happens on our big sur M1 systems. wondering if it might be an enhanced security setting.

    Did you install Rosetta? If I remember correctly, Rosetta is required to install packages

    Turns out that even after enrollment sshd-keygen-wrapper did not have full disk access.
