You could also email the quickadd.pkg out and have the user install it
them self. Or have department heads or on site tech people do it.

Hi Tom,
Yep, you're spot on - see my other twist on this thread.
Thanks,

I've taken a QuickAdd.pkg (using a recon-only username/encrypted password combo) and added Self Service.app to it (installed into Applications), and put it on an internal site/emailed out the links to people.

You advertise that it will install Self Service, but it also adds the jamf binaries, points it to the JSS, and does a recon. Have several "run once" policies which are executed once the machine is first seen, to create hidden users, configure ssh/ARD, turn on the firewall, set the internal update server, et. al. - very, very slick...
