[Casper] How to reset DNS for JSS?

[Thomas Larkin]

When you create your Netboot installer/image it asks you to point it to your casper application.  Before you create if, if you hold down the option key and open up Casper.app it will ask you for the JSS info.  You can simply put an IP address in there instead of DNS.  Or, if you are feeling tricky your client machines store the JSS info in /etc/jamf.conf so you can edit that holds the JSS info. 

For example, since I am at my iMac right this moment, I will show you what it looks like:

tlarkin$ cat /etc/jamf.conf 
####
#### jamf.conf -- JAMF Software Configuration File
#### this file will allow Recon, Casper and the jamf command line 
#### application to locate the JSS (JAMF Software Server) they need
#### to communicate with

serverAddress = xs001-casper.kckps.org
serverPort = 9006
securePort = 8443
serverPath = 
ssl = true
vncPort = 5999


Where it says "server address" you can just put in your IP instead of DNS, and then do a mass copy of that file via ARD admin or a casper policy or whatever.

I think it would be easier to build the netboot image though the way I first explained it.

I can't seem to find this anywhere... how do I reset the IP Address/DNS
for the JSS?  I originally setup the JSS to use a DNS Name, but I now need
to switch it back to an IP Address for use with netbooting.

Thanks,
