[Casper] Leopard Experiences

[Ernst, Craig S.]

Zach,

When you are using the term "local imaging" are you talking imaging using Casper from a second partition on the machine like a Restore partition? Our NetBoot images that do run as root using 10.5.1, 5.11, and packages stored on an SMB share have the same issue, I just noticed anyway. They only install the OS (10.4.11) and although the log says it installed the remainder of the packages it has not. This confuses me because Sandy's last line says "ALL package installs work if netbooted in Leopard/logged in as Root" which tells me it should be working.

I had the same thing happen with my 10.5.1 restore partition imaging locally. The restore runs as root and only the OS package is going down.

Am I missing something with your response? It sounds like what I'm doing should be working.

Hi Sandy-

Just to reiterate the issue... When logging in as any user other than root on Mac OS X 10.5.x, Casper can not properly install DMG style packages other than the first package which is block copied. This only applies to local imaging of hard drives. Remote deployment using Casper or a Policy does not have this issue.

This is an issue that we verified early this week, and we will have a patch available soon.

Thanks, Sandy!

regards,
zach

The last remaining item that does not work for me in Leopard:
        (Intel Server 10.5.1 and Workstation 10.5.1) Casper 5.11 (Clean Server install, Clean JSS 5.11 install)

When  booted to local 10.5.1 HD, logged in as local admin user
Authenticate to JSS with either Read Only or Read/Write (neither works)
Cannot Casper>Local>Custom> install individual application packages to the boot volume or the second partition
        No errors in Casper or jamf log

Can mount AFP Share and application packages with Read Only Account
Can Install (Empty>Custom) an OS 10.4 package.dmg to the second partition (weird)
ALL package installs work if netbooted in Leopard/logged in as Root(important!)
