We bind Macs to AD using BeyondTrust's PBIS Open -- mostly for messy technical reasons, but it seems to be a requirement at the moment. Is anyone binding 10.11.4 to AD successfully using the latest stable release of pbis open? This release has worked...

I've read a few discussions of the pros/cons of migrating packages and scripts in Casper Admin after a v8 to v9 upgrade, but I've seen nothing yet where migration itself failed. Has anyone had to deal with this? JAMF support remains a bit stumped at ...

Hi All, this is not directly related to Casper... but Office 2011 SP3 deployment is fogging my mind. Is anyone deploying a volume licensed Office with SP3? I've downloaded "Office for Mac Standard 2011 with Service Pack 3" from the volume licensing s...

Has anyone written an extension attribute to pull the file system format of the boot volume, i.e. Mac OS Extended (Journaled) vs. Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled), etc? This may be overkill, but SEP v12.1 apparently has an issue with the "...

@jrippy We wanted to let Casper decide to reboot (or not) based on whether someone was logged onto the Mac at the time. At certain times of the year students are logged on for days, and our labs never close. The launchdaemon just calls the policy at ...

We are using a policy with custom trigger to run an early morning reboot on lab machines. The policy is made available locally, and it is called using a LaunchDaemon scheduled to run at 5am (sometime around then). The LaunchDaemon is packaged and inc...

In case anyone's interested, pbis 8.5 (supposedly) supporting 10.11 is out now. Haven't tested it yet. I think there's at least one other Nation member using the product! Centrify does do cross-forest auth too, but not with the free version. We have ...

My work on Pro Tools 12 was somewhat shelved in favor of a goal change, but I believe in the end I was dropping the PKGs direct from Avid to the JSS, and it deployed without issue during imaging. I was otherwise following the suggestions in this thre...
