Self Service 10.9 Upgrade

Hi All - I am currently running an 8.71 JSS environment and would like to test the Mavericks update via self service. I have attempted to use the method that was proven to work for 10.8 - Copy installer local, call installer via policy, and have the user click through the installation options. With the Mavericks install, when the installer launches, i receive a prompt for admin credentials. Has anyone tried this process with Mavericks? I know 9.2 will offer a much more streamlined way to provide self service OS updates, but I am uncertain when I will be able to upgrade our server.

Thanks!

RT @golby Looks like Casper 9.2 and 8.73 have been released to support Mavericks.

So upload Install OS X Mavericks.app to JSS using Casper Admin and publish through Self Service. Done. User can upgrade w/o needing admin rights...follow usual routines to deal with the usual gotchas (hidden admin account, iCloud prompt...etc.).

Edit: The issue is caused by an incorrect invitation string being used for the enrollment script. I created a new QuickAdd package and pulled the invitation string, updated my script, and everything is working properly. I'm one of the lucky few that is still experiencing a failure to recon properly after imaging so I rely on a script to initiate the process.

So question,

Looking for the best practice to trigger the policies to install after it runs the upgrade? I want to set a few things to run after the upgrade completes but wanted to see what others were doing to trigger this.
