What facilitates package removal in Jamf Pro?

Hey all,

I've used JAMF's built in uninstall option (indexing package in Casper Admin <> selecting Allow package to be uninstalled) but does anyone know how JAMF actually facilitates the uninstall? Is it just looking at the BOM in /private/var/db/receipts and removing the listed items?

Thanks!

From memory you can only do package removal with DMG's

The process is first you need to index the DMG with Casper Admin

Once that has been saved. JAMF Pro knows the full contents of the DMG and can remove, prob via rm
