Self enrol pkg. Installation issues via ARD

[conor]

Is there a way to do this. We are trying to deploy the agent to stress test it across our fleet and find any underlying issues with our base policies.

We are wanting to deploy the agent to a set of 20 macs via ARD but this fails on

"QuickAdd.pkg" could not be installed. Error message "Validating packages..."

Is it possible to deploy this via ARD, we are not really wanting to manually install and have to input admin creds on to the macs we are trying to deploy to.

Thanks

@conor Quick question - is the QuickAdd.pkg you're pushing over ARD one you built out of Recon.app? If it was one you downloaded from the self enrollment page, that won't work. Those are one time use packages, so trying to install them on other Macs will fail since they have a one time use invitation in them. The one you build out of Recon.app can be installed across multiple Macs.

@mm2270 ahhhhhh brilliant, didnt know that, will try build one out of Recon and test

In the future, you could also try Recon app to scan your network of any Macs and enroll them.

If you do like @mvu suggests, while it may work, be prepared to possibly get a call from your network/security folks.
I'd ask before pulling that trigger...I know from experience ;)
