[Casper] Any reason not to deploy Apple packages from JSS?

[Thomas Larkin]

So Criss, you just literally download the pkg files and toss them into casper admin for software updates? 

I think I almost like that idea better....

Hi, 


I depoly all updates via the JSS, 


1. It means i can control the updates better than via software update server, 
2. I can then add them to the autorun for future reimaging 
3. I use the same method for non apple updates, so i have only 1 update route

Hey all, 


I'm having trouble getting my 10.4 clients to see updates on my 10.5.5 Software Update Server.  While I try to work this out with Apple support, I was thinking of downloading the Apple packages, adding them too the JSS and deploying them that way. 



Since the general SOP is to have the JSS kick off Apple's softwareupdate, I was wondering if anyone knows of any significant difference in deploying an Apple package via softwareupdate, vs deploying it from the JSS. 



Thanks, 

Miles
