[Casper] Migration

[Leacy, Miles (US)]

If your client machines all have an admin account in common, you can enter that account's credentials into Recon when you do the network scan.

If there are several possible admin accounts, you can enter all of them in the Recon scan.

You only need one valid admin user's credentials per machine to manage it.

If your machines are already managed, you can add a new admin account via Casper remote or a policy.

Hi,

We are about to roll out Leopard to all our machines. We have been doing testing and no issues. What is time consuming is the fact that after we netboot we will have to manually add the new accounts into Casper for the install. Is their anyway I can ask Casper to Recon the machines and get all users from the machines at present? The machines will have the same name as they do now. The JSS already know this.

If not, can I somehow add users to the database as if I had done it in Casper and asked it to remember the setting in the JSS. Casper will remember the second time, but I want to speed up the first time.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Best wishes

Michael
