friends, romans, countrymen: lend me your tech suggestions...
we have not been able, under any circumstances, to successfully
distribute the latest safari via casper. perhaps it's because the new
version of that app utilizes apple's new "flat package" technology.
(right click on the pkg after downloading it from apple and see for
yourself: you can no longer view the package contents...)
we've downloaded both apple pkg's for 10.5 and 10.4, uploaded those
pkg's into casper admin, indexed and set each to be installed with a
dependency for the OS. our policy includes BOTH pkg's so that we've
got one policy regardless of OS, something we do frequently with great
success. this policy is set to kick off at start-up.
however, every time we try to distribute those same pkg's from apple,
we're getting a variety errors of:
+ the app doesn't install although the policy says it has
+ we get the "this path doesn't exist error" we usually get when we've
got bad permissions on our caspershare mount.
and so forth. jamf tech support has, thus far, been stymied as well
but i KNOW i can't be the only one out there with this kind of
experience. talk to me: what have you done to get this app
distributed?
