Webex Teams Package for Self Service

[yycgirls]

Hey Everyone, I am battling with Webex teams simply trying to get it to deploy via self service. No matter what I try it just doesn't go despite reporting installed in the logs. I have tried uploading it via Jamf Admin as is in dmg form and attempted to create a pkg from the .app extracted from the dmg but no luck there either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Just use a script to download and install it all at once and forget about the packge:

#!/bin/bash loggedInUser=$( echo "show State:/Users/ConsoleUser" | scutil | awk '/Name :/ && ! /loginwindow/ { print $3 }' ) if [[ -z "$loggedInUser" ]] || [[ "$loggedInUser" == 'root' ]] || [[ "$loggedInUser" == "loginwindow" ]] ; then echo "Failed to gather loggedInUser correctly" exit 1 else echo "loggedInUser is $loggedInUser" fi loggedInUID=$(id -u "$loggedInUser") dmgfile="Webex.dmg" volname="Webex" appname="Webex.app" logfile="/Library/Logs/WebexInstallScript.log" url='https://binaries.webex.com/WebexTeamsDesktop-MACOS-Gold/Webex.dmg' /bin/echo "--" >> ${logfile} /bin/echo "date: Downloading latest version." >> ${logfile} /usr/bin/curl -s -o /tmp/${dmgfile} ${url} /bin/echo "date: Mounting installer disk image." >> ${logfile} /usr/bin/hdiutil attach /tmp/${dmgfile} -nobrowse -quiet /bin/echo "date: Installing..." >> ${logfile}

copy the app from disk image

/usr/bin/ditto -rsrc "/Volumes/$volname/$appName" "/Applications/$appName" /bin/sleep 10 /bin/echo "date: Unmounting installer disk image." >> ${logfile} /usr/bin/hdiutil detach $(/bin/df | /usr/bin/grep "${volname}" | awk '{print $1}') -quiet /bin/sleep 10 /bin/echo "date: Deleting disk image." >> ${logfile} /bin/rm /tmp/"${dmgfile}" exit 0

That worked perfectly. Thank you so much for your assistance.

Not to upend the good work by @ooshnoo ; but there was an unmatched variable in that script that might cause some issues. I've cleaned it up a little and made the logging a little more friendly for a Jamf Policy.

#!/bin/sh

loggedInUser=$( echo "show State:/Users/ConsoleUser" | scutil | awk '/Name :/ && ! /loginwindow/ { print $3 }' )

dmgfile="Webex.dmg"
volname="Webex"
appname="Webex.app"

if [ -z "$loggedInUser" ] && [  "$loggedInUser" = "root" ] && [ "$loggedInUser" = "loginwindow" ]; then
    echo "Failed to gather loggedInUser correctly"
    exit 1
else
    echo "loggedInUser is $loggedInUser"
fi

url='https://binaries.webex.com/WebexTeamsDesktop-MACOS-Gold/Webex.dmg'

echo "--"
echo "Downloading latest version."
/usr/bin/curl -s -o /tmp/${dmgfile} ${url}
echo "Mounting installer disk image."
/usr/bin/hdiutil attach /tmp/${dmgfile} -nobrowse -quiet
echo "Installing..."

/usr/bin/ditto -rsrc "/Volumes/$volname/$appname" "/Applications/$appname"

/bin/sleep 5

echo "Unmounting installer disk image."
/usr/bin/hdiutil detach "$(/bin/df | /usr/bin/grep "${volname}" | awk '{print $1}')" -quiet

/bin/sleep 5

echo "Deleting disk image."
/bin/rm /tmp/"${dmgfile}"

exit 0

@mcrispin thanks dude. My script was a meshing of 2 others I'd used, so I doesn't surprise me that I missed something.

@mcrispin That scrip[t looks great, but how can I do this through Self Service? Thanks in advance for your help!
