HI chaps 

Another tester for you. 

How many of you get disk verified failure on your macs when running the maintenance policy? 

/usr/sbin/jamf is version 6.01

i get this error a lot, and mostly on the same machines, as one cannot repair a boot drive i created the following 

1, i created a diskless netboot image with no logon possible and a loginwindow background that informs you that it is repairing the disk so do not try to login or reboot the computer as it is automated. 
2, i created a first run script that runs disk repair on the main volume, then sets the boot volume to the local drive and reboots the computer 
3. I created a policy to set the started disk to the above netboot image and then reboot the mac if no one is logged in, otherwise it will reboot at next startup. 

How does everyone else solve this isssue?
