There have been many times now, where I need to install certain packages on individual computers that do not fit into a smart group, or maybe have too many members for me to want to manually add to a smart group. I would like Casper Remote to track machine by JSS ID rather than IP address, and have the ability to check a little box that says install at next reboot if a machine is unreachable or offline.
I need to push things out like digital text books to select students in select classes. I would like the ability for instructors to send me a list of names, or asset tags and then I can just import that plain text list into Casper Remote (or the JSS even) and say install this package and then if the client is not online schedule to install at next reboot.
As far as I can tell this is not possible at the moment. I would also like to create smart groups by importing a list of computer names or what not. This would allow department heads to email me a list of computers instead of me trying to hunt them down in user space, and it would make my life a whole lot easier.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Tom
