[Casper] How to reset DNS for JSS?

[Josh Holland]

Hello,

I just want to clarify what it is you are trying to accomplish.  The JAMF configuration file (/etc/jamf.conf) on the client is only used for checking in to the JSS (ie for updating the client's IP and checking for Policies etc), and does not affect NetBoot.  In fact, we recommend using a fully qualified DNS name for this.

Your NetBoot server's IP address should be entered in the JSS > Management tab > NetBoot Servers.  Once set there, when you tell your clients to NetBoot to a specific server using Casper Remote or a Policy, it will use that IP address.

Please let me know if I am understanding the issue correctly, and if the above will resolve the problem.

Thanks,

Josh

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,
