We have pulled a server out of our server room that was extra and are making a mobile imaging cart to take out to all of our laptops. Well, since every building is on different VLANs we thought it would be a good idea to toss the server behind a router and then not have to deal with all the managed switches and VLANs. Our infrastructure is not fully in place and eventually (since we are education and work off a budget) will have extra servers in each building for netbooting. However, since that is not the case we are going with mobile carts for this year. I can netboot just fine and it will autorun the data just fine behind a router. The snags I am running into is that I first noticed it will not resolve the JSS by domain name, only by IP address. Not a huge deal, but I am not sure why that is. Second it seems to want to not use the default server I set in the JSS, it wants to use the master file server. I did a mass edit of auto run data and pointed it all to the mobile image server which has a 192.168.x.x address. The router is controlling all DHCP so all clients will have a class C address. The router also gives the server the same IP every time, it is reserved for that server. Then the casper client will run but error out half way through. I can only assume this is because I am behind NAT? I have never tried this before. I have AFP forwarded from the router to the server and anything that comes over port 548 will hit that server instead. Anyone ever try this? I know this is most likely one small thing I am over looking on my end, but I think technically this should work no issues. Of course after my 6 new xserves come in sometime this fall I won't ever have this issue again, because I will have servers in the buildings that can do this.

I won't go into a rant regarding this, simply put it was and is horrible. 1) DNS resolution: if you are nating behind a segment that has its own external DNS then it will never see your Casper server by name. The fix is to manually add a DNS entry to your IP config and it will see the server. You should be able to do this @ the fire wall (assuming you are using a DHCP server in the firewall). If not add the entry to your DHCP server for the DNS server in the nated segment. 2) Ports that need to be opened: 8443 & 9006 . You'll need to forward all traffic from the nated segment on 8443 and 9006 to the JSS server. 3) 548 is only needed if you will be updating the Casper share that resides behind the Nat or if you are pulling packages from the Master. In either case a many to one 548 mapping will work. On 7/3/08 9:49 AM, "Thomas Larkin" wrote: > So > > For our summer imaging project I am running into a few snags.

Otherwise, it was smooth as silk. I did the installation, ran thru registration, ran all Adobe updates at the time, then created the package.

Message-ID: I have been having some interesting issues lately with scripts in Casper and the adobe installers (not sure if these are related or not). When a policy tries to run the script I get an error that ?Error: The script could not be found.? I have had this error before and was able to clear it up by using Workgroup Manager to re-propagate the permissions for the Casper share but this time it is not working. I have tried restarting the server as well as restarting AFP services but not dice. The other error is the dreaded ?error 6? when using the Adobe installers on workstations. I have done everything I can think of to fix this (including deleting all packages and the Adobe Design Premium DMG file and rebuilding all of them) but continue to be plagued with errors. Now, I am in the process of migrating our Casper instance from 10.4.11 Server to 10.5.4 Server and that may help but until that time I would still like to figure out what is causing these errors.

C:\Program Files\Boot Camp\KbdMgr.exe".... Restart in Mac OS X.... rem schedule reboot NOW. during testing change 0 to 60 rem reboot can be stopped by shutdown -a from a cmd prompt (start menu/run cmd) shutdown -r -t 0 However I don't think it works, well I know it doesn't work.

Now, when a user logs into windows there is an object policy in Novell that if they have the bootcamp.exe installed on their machine it will automatically launch the MAP testing software. Now, once they exit the machine it runs a script which invokes a freeware program called autoIT. AutoIT will detect the current open window and can open and execute programs. So we told it to open up the boot camp manager in windows, select OS X start up disk and you can map mouse coordinates for current open windows.

Sorry I probably should have sent a separate email but I have been working on this all day and am now cutting corners to get more stuff done. I probably won't even get home until around 9pm tonight to finish the rest of this crap up. So far, in our limited two laptop test, it worked. I really need version 6 and self service policy to make it work exactly how I want to. Also, I did find that the bless command has a reboot once argument that can be used in syntax with the command. I haven't had time to poke through it all yet but it seems like there may be a way to do it natively in OS X as we speak, it just may not be very intuitive.

We?re implementing the ?Golden Triangle? setup of having Mac clients authenticate users with the Active Directory and pull preferences from the Open Directory server (our Xserve which also hosts Casper). In the past, our wireless network had been unencrypted. In a couple of weeks, we?ll be encrypting the 802.1x wireless network, and wireless clients will be required to authenticate with a Active Directory username/password (via LDAP using Microsoft IAS as a RADIUS server) to gain network access. In theory, after starting up a school laptop, a user would first somehow have to authenticate to the wireless network with AD credentials, and then they would be able to login to the computer with AD credentials. (They?d need a network connection to login to the Mac with their AD credentials so it could contact the RADIUS server, so they?d need to authenticate for wireless first.) Does anyone have a similar setup or have knowledge in the subject? If so, what kinds of issues have you experiences with such a setup? We?d appreciate any thoughts.

As far as I can tell, the JSS will point new netbooting clients to the other server, but how will it know to do so, and at what point does it start to auto balance? thanks, Thomas Larkin TIS Department KCKPS USD500 tlarki at kckps.org cell: 913-449-7589 office: 913-627-0351 From CMyers at uclan.ac.uk Fri Jul 11 01:27:00 2008 From: CMyers at uclan.ac.uk (Criss Myers) Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2008 09:27:00 +0100 Subject: [Casper] load balancing servers In-Reply-To: <487651EC020000390000048B@gwoes4.kckps.org> References: <487651EC020000390000048B@gwoes4.kckps.org> Message-ID: <48772764.BB96.0081.0@uclan.ac.uk> Hi, If you make the netboot id above above 4096 and put the image on both netboot servers as their default image, then the netboot servers will auto load balance between the two, the client will pic the quickest image to boot from.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Two tips: 1. Make sure that in your configuration, this script is set to run ?At reboot? rather than ?before? or ?after?. If you run the script ?after?, you?re running it on the utility drive you're booted to during the imaging process. ?At reboot? will add your script to the Casper first run script which will be executed the first time you boot the newly imaged system. 2. You can simplify your script to: defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine DoNotOfferNewDisksForBackup -bool YES This will put the setting in the /Library folder, which is applied to all users.

Make sure that in your configuration, this script is set to run "At reboot" rather than "before" or "after". If you run the script "after", you're running it on the utility drive you're booted to during the imaging process. "At reboot" will add your script to the Casper first run script which will be executed the first time you boot the newly imaged system. 2. You can simplify your script to: defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine DoNotOfferNewDisksForBackup -bool YES This will put the setting in the /Library folder, which is applied to all users.

Message-ID: <487DFE2C02000039000006EA@gwoes4.kckps.org> Well A bit of an update here. We used the JAMF tools (scripts and netinstall creator) to make the images. On the windows side there is an object policy that detects the bot camp preference pane in control panels, and if that program is there it does a few things via a zen policy. Since we use Novell client to log in, I also disabled the Microsoft networking client, so no need to sys prep and no need to have unique names, which cuts down our imaging time. At log in the MAP test software is automatically launched, as well as this command to keep the laptops from sleeping. c:\windows\system32\powercfg.exe -setactive "always on" We found out that if they go to sleep it kills the connection, which kills the app, which forces a reboot, and we don't want to make our user base frustrated. We had to increase the size of the windows partition to make the imaging process happy. It seems we get less failures with the partition size being about 35% for Windows. On the windows side I disabled port 80 and 443 originally through a local policy using MMC, but since it was such a pain I ended up using a free firewall application that just blocks all outgoing port 80 and 443 requests. It actually is a redirect to the localhost instead. That way no student would really want to run windows, since we only need it for one purpose. Then once MAP is terminated in any possible way (through the app or task manager or if it crashes) another script executes (via that same object policy) that can open up applications and mimic mouse clicks. It opens up the boot camp exe on windows and selects the OS X volume and then selects restart. So, this is very possible to do, and at the same time very ridiculous. However, MAP testing is not supported on intel macs and we have nothing but intel macs. I successfully had 20 machines test no issues at all yesterday. I used autoIT for the mouse script. Here is the script ;; boot_to_osx.au3 ;; ;; there's no way to do this with the command line or anything, ;; so here's a little autoit script to use apple's provided ;; utility to bless the OSX drive. #requireadmin Run("C:\Windows\system32\AppleControlPanel.exe") WinWait("Boot Camp Control Panel") WinActivate("Boot Camp Control Panel") WinWaitActive ("Boot Camp Control Panel") ControlClick ("Boot Camp Control Panel", "", "[CLASSNN:SysListView321]", "left", 1, 40, 20) ControlClick("Boot Camp Control Panel", "OK", 1) Here is where you can find the app to download, it is free http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/downloads.shtml This works, but we do have a failure rate with imaging, and after about 2 weeks of testing and troubleshooting I am about to call it an AFP problem. When you start a session of say 20 clients AFP jumps up and plateaus. Which is fine, but about half way through it will spike. I am thinking that this spike is when the casper client switches from the OS X image to the windows image, and AFP does some weird auto balancing thing where it changes the client's speeds. When this happens I think that the windows image doesn't always get deployed right. We have 100% success rate with the OS X image every single time, and the Windows side will get the no bootable devices found error at start up. The Windows success rate is any where from 70% to 100% per each run of imaging. If you wipe it and reimage it, it works 9 times out of 10. That 1 time out of 10 is hardware failure, either bad NIC or bad HD. Also while troubleshooting this issue, and this is a HUGE find, I took the windows installation and booted off an XP CD and ran recovery console. I ran a chkdsk /r on the windows installation right before making the image. This not only fixed some of my issues with the image not copying right but it shaved off 1.6 Gigabytes!!!!! of the total image size. Since Windows likes to cache all those system updates, and they are already compressed they are pretty much wasted space on the installation. I ran CCcleaner to get rid of all that stuff but it didn't fully go away until I ran that chkdsk /r on the C:\ drive.

I find it hard to believe the advice you were given about that product, but I wouldn't be surprised on the price you may have been quoted for it. Microsoft also has things up their sleeve related to Terminal Services I think. Maintaining dual-boot is probably what you should do as a last resort in my opinion. For the added cost I would do Parallels if you don't need to leverage the native power of the hardware. Managing that many more clients and keeping them secure and up-to-date. I'd think you'd want a single point of update if possible instead of doubling the client base. We're still working on our dual boot environment because of some really SIMPLE tools an enterprise needs to properly maintain it. Like booting from Windows to Mac via a command line interface so you can script it or schedule it. (and if anyone has a solution for that I'm all eyes) There are lots of other good tools out there for cloning and what not. Craig On 6/30/08 2:07 PM, "Thomas Larkin" wrote: Ironically, Virtual machine licenses like Parallels of VMware Fusion for that many clients is actually more expensive than a 1 year least of windows xp professional. The developer is willing to pick up most of the tab if we just straight run windows. Plus they can only guarantee us that it runs on windows, since it has never been heavily tested in virtual environments. I have used Bombich's tools in the past, and I guess I could just use them again to deploy a dual booting image. I have about a month to complete this and get it rolled out to 6,000 machines. So, basically I have the rest of this week to get it working because next week we start mass imaging.

I know there is an extra cost but it would be very easy to push out with Casper. Then you could either deploy the virtual hd image or a virtual cd image pointing towards a ghost server to image the virtual machine. And if your developer is paying :p I also think you might be able to use apple's net install to deploy bootcamp. But it might just be the partition. I've not fully looked into it.

That?s it. If you?re not using WGM/MCX, ?defaults write? is your friend. Just remember that this is a per-user preference. A script in a Casper policy triggered at every login will simulate the ?often? frequency in WGM. Just make sure to target ~/Library. John, are you saying if you set the prefs to ?often? in WGM, then the client re-enables sharing in the Finder prefs, then the client logs out and logs back in, that the shared prefs do *not* go back to their managed state? The behavior you describe is the intended function of ?often?. ?Often? sets your indicated preference at login, but the client can change it during their logged in session. At their next login, the preference should return to its managed state. If you want a setting to be managed, stay managed, and not be alterable by the client, you need to use the ?always? frequency. Am I misunderstanding? Is this preference behaving differently? On 7/17/08 5:06 PM, "John DeTroye" wrote: > 1. Set the Sidebar prefs on your admin system to show nothing in "Sharing" > 2.

Sorry. But basically, this querries the local system to find the home directory of every user, then iterates through the accounts attempting to update their com.apple.sidebarlists.plist. If a plist is found then it updates it. Otherwise if not found, it creates it and writes the preferences. It uses PListBuddy (which I found easier to use for this situation). PListBuddy may or may not be in /usr/libexec by default, but is hard coded in this script. Also there's also some chmod and chown code as this runs as root in a postflight script. I have only tested this with local users, so I don't know what the experience would be like for network home users. NOTE: I have just joined the list for device management ideas. I do not use Casper Suite... but believe this could be pushed out using the scripting interface or pushed as a package, where the above is a postflight script.

We are in the process of a round of image deployment to our 180 public Macs and we have seen that over 10% of the time Casper will fail to deploy the base OS. We currently have one of our sites where 5 out of their 14 Macs are repeatedly failing in this way... Our setup is that we netboot the iMacs in order to image them and the sequence that we observe is that Casper says it is doing a block copy of the OS (despite the fact that the 'No Block Copy' file is in Casper.app/contents/resources), this then fails and Casper formats the hard disk and then it should deploy the base OS before doing all the application packages however this does not always happen... We cannot see a pattern to when this occurs - eg it doesn't seem to be related to server load. Sometimes it happens repeatedly on one Mac and other times when a Mac is reimaged again all is fine without making any other changes. We know that Casper has been released but it's really not possible for us to move to a new Casper version right in the middle of an imaging round.

We saw similar happen when moving from 10.3 to 10.4. Our "Restore" partitions were 10.3 but when booted to them Casper wouldn't properly install 10.4 on our "Macintosh HD" partitions. No amount of retrying would work. I worked around it temporarily by enabling the root account on the Restore partition and logging in as root until I could later erase and install a 10.4 Restore image.

No more having to try twice to run a task from casper. My only problem was a bug discovered that kept JSS from connecting to my distribution points (file shares). Apparently you can't have an underscore in the password that you use for your AFP accounts. Jamf is looking into it. Other than that, its a polished interface and overall seems solid.

Well, in my network IP addresses can and will change so we try to do everything by domain. If I write a simple policy that just replaces the /etc/jamf.conf with the domain name of the JSS instead of the IP, will it work? I know I could always recon them, but if I have the machine in front of me it would take a few seconds to edit that file, or write a simple Casper policy that just replaces that file with the domain name instead of the IP. We had some issues running recon last year so I thought just editing that one file would do the trick perhaps better? Thoughts?

When I image a machine, I'm trying to use our existing MS Office package, which casper says it's installing, but there is no MS Office folder in the Applications folder when it is done. The package looks normal, and I can see when I use Casper Remote (which has the same issue) that the dmg is mounting properly, but it's almost like it's not ditto'ing the files out properly. I have seen this issue with some other packages as well, but haven't found a regularity. Has anyone else seen anything like this?

So, if you are hiding an admin account on the system, you won't be able to find that system. At least that's what it appears to me. Maybe I'm wrong. I utilize a hidden account as a second admin in case the first admin account is compromised in any way. And, I notice that under Inventory Preferences on the Admin tab (Admin tab -> Inventory Options -> Inventory Preferences) we can map the ARD fields to fields in Casper. This would be perfect for putting a "flag" for this user account and then building your smart group on that. For example, if I utilized a shell script in a policy that would place something in one of the ARD fields to indicate that user was on the system, I could then build my smart group. The shell script might look something like this (assuming a user name of "ardadmin"): #!/bin/bash fieldText=`dscl . list /Users | grep ardadmin` sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/ Contents/Resources/kickstart -configure -computerinfo -set1 -1 $fieldText Now, obviously there is no error checking in this, which could be thrown in, and probably should. If the search returns nothing then you get the standard kickstart info about what flags to set. I think this is fine and it won't affect the outcome. Once that runs on the machines they should flow into your smart group that is searching for ardadmin in the ARD1 field. Hope that helps.

I was aware that there is a "glitch" with the FUT or FEU option if those options were selected, but the actual package did not contain any user data. However, we have also noticed that there are a few packages that do have user data, and need to have user data to work properly that do not lay down correctly. From what I can tell it appears that user permissions are being set wrong when the package installs. For example: I have a base FireFox package install that contains the FireFox app, as well as the Users "Application Support" folder. I have set rights via Composer so that the owner has full R-W-X and everyone else has R-X permissions. Once the package installs, it sets the FireFox app to Read only for everyone, and sets the user profile to "No Access" except for the creator account. Normally it should lay down the user settings/files and apply the correct rights within each users folder. I have multiple building packages that all have been working with version 5 of Casper and all now fail. I have also tried building new packages from the ground up, all with the same results. This is just one of a handful of packages having this behavior, but basically any images that were working previously and were 100% deployable are now non-functional due to this behavior.

If you want it on only a few systems, create a computer group of just those systems, then set that pref just for that group. johnd On Jul 31, 2008, at 1:45 PM, Roger Corbin wrote: > The 10.5.x OS package that we are currently using has the Leopard > guest account disabled. > > We have a few machines out there that we would actually like to enable > this on.
