Rich Barron "Dorey, Dustin" Sent by: casper-bounces at list.jamfsoftware.com 06/30/2009 11:12 AM To cc casper at list.jamfsoftware.com Subject Re: [Casper] All of Caspers files? This is fixed with a few hours of help by JAMF and a webex session (Thanks Sam!). But for the sake of the list and future possible searches, I'll document what I can here in the hopes of helping someone else out. I just want to clarify a few points to make sure we?re all on the same page. Issues are as follows; 1. ?Things are not replicating? I take that as packages, scripts etc? things that are normally located in your CasperShare folder on your distribution point are not syncing correctly upon their scheduled replication time. Are all of the Distribution points failing to replicate or just the ones you set up? The only server that I did not set up was the master server. I can copy the CS4 dmg up from my machine (3 time zones away) and the disk image makes it there ok. After that, it gets 'stuck'. a. Are your servers each set up with your DNS to use FQDN? If so I would delete them out of the JSS. JSS>Management>Distribution Points, and re-add them with the FQDN if they were using IP prior, also make sure that the ?Casper Admin? and ?Casper Imaging? user accounts passwords listed for each distribution point match the local user account passwords on each server Also make sure that permissions are propagated down the CasperShare for each distribution point. Some did not have FQDN to start with, but when I ran into issues, I reset them to Fully Qualified Domain Names and set a script to fix the jamf.conf file in case one of the local techs didn't type in the FQDN. All passwords and usernames were working ok until I started working with CS3/4 images. 2. ?Adobe installs don?t get listed in Casper Admin. ? Does that mean they never do or some of them don?t show up. Are you using JAMF method of creating the adobe installs via the Casper Admin application? Or are you using Composer and snapshotting? The images are being created "by the book" the JAMF way, following the manual. CS3 was ok, but when I sent to CS4, the master disk image made it to the server, but Casper Admin would not 'see' it when I went to click the 'Create New Adobe Install' button. It went straight to a CS3 disk image, which was the wrong behavior since I was trying to set up a CS4 install. 3. ?Self Service is Super Flakey? is it not showing the packages that you have set up self service items for, or is it not laying the packages down correctly? It looks like the replication snafu with CS4 had a hand in this. The images were in the master, but not replicated down to the local servers. Being that they were in the master, they were showing up for Self Service and in the policy - but because they were not on the local server - nothing was there to actually install. Since I had it set to 'install once per computer', POOF - it went away after failing. 4. ?Re-Imaging is skipping the main Disk Image? What is it showing in the imaging log for a computer that has skipped the OS package? Is it failing on all or just the Distribution points that are not replicating? This was odd. It seems to be hit and miss. I think it is a different issue with some netboot laptops I am putting out there and also with our local server needing a reboot as it is throwing errors on the NetBoot service. I was adding this in as another symptom of a possible overall issue, but it appears to be a different issue. 5. When you are talking about your techs not typing in the FQDN during imaging do you mean when the Casper Imaging app asks for the JSS?s address? If so how are you imaging, are you using netboot/netinstall, recovery partitions, FW boot drives? The imaging techs should not need to repeatedly type in this information. Yes, when they launch Casper Imaging. We are using NetBoot where possible and the techs are being prompted at each install. This is a conversion - the machines have not been touched by Casper/Recon before this. 6. If you ?re-do? everything and change the DNS name of the master server you should just be able to make a new QuickAdd Package and push that out with ARD if you have it at your disposal to get the machines reporting in to the correct JSS address otherwise there are other ways to update the clients but I?d think that ARD would be the fastest. I can't change the DNS name of the master server. That is set by policy at the corporate level. Plus, we are also in the midst of deployments at various sites across the USA. Changing configs mid-stream will do more harm than good at this point. We found the answer was that in Casper 6, it does not support CS4 images directly. You must do a work-around in the image file, which is documented in the Jamfsoftware.com site here: http://jamfsoftware.com/kb/article.php?id=196 There was an additional problem where after adding the CS4 image through Casper Admin, but it selecting the CS3 disk image, it creates a link between the two and if you click OK, and create an "untitled Adobe Install" and try to trash it, it trashes the CS3 image because it has a link to it rather than being an empty install. If you are not expecting that, it could be unsettling. You can check in the Info window to see exactly what package an untitled Adobe install may be linked to and what will go away when the package is deleted. Once we got the CS4 issue fixed, things started working again. But things were seriously weird there for a while... Please correct me if I?m wrong on my interpretation and others on the listserv please verify my advice. I tend to do some quirky stuff sometimes.

This is a new install. When we had our jumpstart, we had just set up 4 servers in a data center about a month ago by a JAMF rep. The other dozen or so distribution point servers were pre-existing and were not set up until later by myself. Now that we are in production and I have a team of guys doing reimages, where are the files I need to check to ensure the servers have FQDN's in the settings? I worked with JAMF to write the FQDN of our master server to the /private/etc/jamf.conf to ensure any tech who does not enter the fully qualified domain name of the master server during reimaging will not cause a major problem. So - where are some other file locations to check - maybe something on the server? Is there any documentation on this? If this is such a critical issue, would it not make sense to put a preference file somewhere and have an easy to manage setting in the GUI for this to be updated after the fact if needed? Are there any guides anywhere to what all is involved in 'starting over'? Is it a simple remove from the master servers and reinstall? Or do things need to be updated on the clients as well to ensure they are all synched up properly to the new set up?

Is this a new installation or are you expanding an existing infrastructure? If it?s new, I?d say back up any packages that you?ve made and start over. Even if you seem to route out all of your problems, I?d be weary about feeling confident in the installation ? if it were me anyway... The general gist of your situation tells me dns, dns, dns. Related, you should always use FQDNs. j On 6/29/09 20:32 , "Rich_Barron at vfc.com" wrote: I'm having a ton of problems with our new deployment of Casper 6 to about 15 servers. Things are not replicating, Adobe installs don't get listed in Casper Admin, Self Service is super flakey, reimaging is skipping the main disk image, etc. I have a feeling it has something to do with the initial setup/config, and possibly not using fully qualified domain names. It could also have something to do with permissions or accounts on the server side or client side. But there is just too much going wrong for this to be considered normal. Support has been great. I should know - I have called them every day. :) But short of getting a Casper rep out here to go over the whole system and find/fix all the bugs, is there a good listing of where all the config files are stored and what they should look like? On both the client side and server side? Or maybe someone wrote a doc on what happens in the background when you, say, schedule a replication from the master server to another server so when it fails, I can check all the steps manually, such as making a connection via SSH with the casperadmin name/pass from the master server to one of the other servers, and where to apply a fix should a problem be found?

I have an OU called Casper Policies. I have a Security Group in this OU called Adobe Master Collection. I can add individual AD Users to the Adobe Master Collection Security Group and create a Casper Policy that installs Adobe Master Collection for those users only. All of this works flawlessly and as expected. In Active Directory we have a Security Group called Studio Artists. I'd like to add that Security Group to the Adobe Master Collection Security Group within my Casper Policy OU. I have found that while I can do this it does not work as expected. When I set this up the AD Users in the Studio Art Security Group do not get access to the Adobe Master Collection install via Self Service. Again, I can add a single Studio Art AD member and it works fine. ADUC allows me to add a Security Group, but Self Service does not seem to recognize the members of these groups. The reason I'd like to do this is so that I can use existing groups to manage who has access to a particular set of software via Self Service. I admit I am not and AD expert by any means. I hope my explanation is clear. Should this work? Am I doing something wrong? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

I couldn't get the bind to show up in Imaging 7 so I created a new one that was identical but a different name. Sure enough, the new one showed up fine in all my Casper apps.

Date: Sat, 27 Jun 2009 19:25:06 -0500 To: Casper List Subject: [Casper] v7 Questions - MCX, OS X Disk, & AD Bind I just upgraded our JSS yesterday to v7 and have been having a few issues with v7. I'm almost certain it's user error so I figured I'd ask the experts. Managed Preferences: I went through and made some quick managed preference settings just to test this out. I did one that would put the dock on the left so it would be obvious if it worked. I can't seem to figure out when the clients will get this preference enforced though. I have set up a group with my test device. Does the client get it when the enforce management framework runs on the machine? I'm anxious to see it work locally on the test machine. OS X Disk: I'm very excited about the feature in v7 that allows you to create the OS package in Casper Admin from the Install Disk. I took my Snow Leopard DVD from WWDC and made a dmg in Disk Utility. Then I put the dmg into Casper Admin and checked the box for "This is a Mac OS X Install Disk". Then when I imaged the test machine, it reboots to Macintosh HD but goes through the setup wizard. Is there an easy way to supress this setup? I'm hoping to get away from having a "gold master" hard drive to pull the base OS package from so hopefully I can get a fresh OS X install from the disk and have Casper Imaging add the management account and bind it to AD and everything for me. AD Bind: I've noticed that since upgrading to v7, my imaged test device doesn't use my AD bind to get the device on our domain. In the netboot image with Casper Imaging (v6) I don't see any available AD binds in the Accounts tab. Is it possible that I need to rebuild my netboot image to have Casper Imaging v7. I know I'll have to do this eventually but I'm not sure if that's why it's not pulling any AD Bindings from the JSS.

I'm pretty sure you can just set the password of root and it will enable the root account. So, if the admin user ran this script with the desired password as an argument: #!/usr/bin/expect -f set rootpw [lindex $argv 0] match_max 100000 spawn passwd root expect "New password:" send "$rootpw\r" expect "Retype new password:" send "$rootpw\r" expect eof It SHOULD enable root with the password specified. Example, create a script containing the above code called "enableroot.exp" and then run this: ./enableroot.exp ultramegasecret1334p0wneDpasswordgoeshere Replace that ridiculous pw with yours, of course. :) Let me know if you get stuck; good luck!

The only thing I can think of, is that if your clients are segmented in a weird way where DNS won't resolve you will want to make sure your JSS is set to the IP and not the FQDN. Like for example, if you have a VLAN behind NAT, well with out the proper ports forwarded or opened with NAT you won't be able to resolve DNS. This can be altered easily by editing the /etc/jamf.conf file. When I do my mass imaging it is behind NAT on my own little private network so for the clients to check into the JSS for autorun data my casper preference file in my netinstall image is by IP, but when they first check on on the actual network I have a policy to change it back to FQDN, that is because I like Domain Names better than IPs and I don't have to fuss with tons of router settings when my imaging network is temporary. Another method would be to add it as an install during imaging if you want to do package based deployment. If all else fails you can massively install it via ARD which I have done as well. Out of my 6,000 clients I have only maybe seen 5 to 10 jamf client binaries go corrupt over the past 2 years, so that is a testament on to how well it works.

I have the client in my image and I just pulled 3 random MAC addresses and when I do a specific search for them I get a specific result so it seems they still stay unique in the JSS database regardless if they are in the image or not.

There appears to be a reporting issue with the latest version of the Casper Suite 7. This is caused by location fields set in the Network Segments on the JSS. Essentially, if any Network Segments contain location information, a computer within those network segments will have mis-represented location information upon inventory submissions subsequent to the version 7 upgrade. The good news is that this is a very easy fix and there is absolutely no data loss. Temporarily removing the building and/or department specifications from all network segments is the current workaround. We are urging anyone who has seen this issue to contact our support staff at support at jamfsoftware.com. We will be able to get all location information to display again very quickly. This issue has been submitted to our Development department, and they are analyzing the cause and correcting the issue for the next maintenance release.

I used composer and created the DMG as the articles say to do, copying parts of CD 2 into a folder you make that contains CD1 etc. It starts the install and just kind of sits there all day. 7 hours into the day.. its still "installing". Jamf said to try when the machine was not logged in as a user, same thing. So I figured I'd just capture my entire image as an OS. That went through O.K. No major issues. I then imaged a machine using that new OS image. Adobe CS4 has an error on fonts in the Cmap folder. Solution is to re-install Adobe CS4. I can't think of what Composer is doing to strip the OS so that I can't include Adobe in the image? ___________ Kathie Iorizzo Lower School Technician The Latin School of Chicago kiorizzo at latinschool.org 312.582.6136 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Attached is a screen shot of AFP throughput in a graph. If you notice there is one graph that kind of tapers off towards the end of the imaging process.

Message-ID: Is there a trick to getting a computer to restore a wireless connection after imaging? We have a common SSID and WPA key for wireless. My image is created with the credentials saved and the wireless network is actively connected on the computer. After imaging, the credentials are still there in keychain and our network is listed in preferred networks but it won't connect automatically. You have to login and select the wireless network in the menu bar to make it connect. This worked at one point, but maybe it was before we used Casper imaging. I am pretty sure this wasn't a problem when I was creating my image with NetRestore. Thanks, Chad -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I was directed by Jamf support to attempt this forum. Here's the situation: I'm not able to use an SMB Distribution Point (DP) which is on a Windows 2003 R2 joined to an Active Directory 2008 domain; using the Jamf server as a DP [via AFP] works fine. For more oddity, I will escape out of the Casper Imaging tool during Netboot and open the Full Finder. I will then try to connect via command-k and put in smb://[ip address] or smb://[ip address]/ or smb://[ip address]/[Share name] and it will not prompt me for a credential and give me an error indicating "Incorrect password", if I try to use an AFP share (afp://[ip address] or afp://[ip address]/ or afp://[ip address]/CasperSuite, I get "an error occurred -50". If I boot to a normal OS X operating system and try any of these, it will prompt me for credentials, I supply them and it connects. While in the NetInstall/Netboot environment, if I do a Full Finder and use Terminal, it appears I'm logged in as root. So why, can't I seem to use any other DPs other than the one during the actual imaging process? The steps I've gone through are as follows: 1. Created distribution point on the DP: a. Set DNS Name or IP address to the NT's IP address under General b. Set the Connection Type as SMB, Share name to the share name [cased properly] c. Set the Port to 139 while testing SMB or 548 for AFP d. Tried both putting the NT server into a Workgroup and domain and put in the Workgroup name or the domain's NetBIOS name 2. I created a plain OS X 10.5.7 OS on a second partition on a MacBook Pro 3. Used Composer 7.0 to create an OS.dmg file 4. Used NetInstaller 3.0 to create a Casper.nbi Netboot image and set the Casper Imaging.app file 5. Copied it into my Netboot directory on the OS X server 6. Another MacBook Pro will NetBoot [using the newly created OS] 7. If I use an SMB DP, it will say it's mounting the DP, says it's erasing the hard drive (which actually doesn't) and then tries to execute the Bulk Copy of the OS Image and immediately goes to the next step. I have tried several combinations of creating a local and domain account as the one specified in the DP setting screen (and even one called root with and without a password), had the NT server joined and put into a Workgroup, specified the workgroup or domain name. It just seems like no part of the NetInstall/Netboot environment will take a DP other than one which might be running an actual OS X server. I even went as far as trying ExtremeZ IP on the NT machine and got the same error while in Finder in the NetInstall/Netboot environment as when I tried to command-K to the Apple server. What am I missing for setting up DPs which are Windows 2003 servers joined to a 2008 Active Directory domain? Thanks! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Make sure the machine is managed with the proper ssh password and then self service should work. I had some problems last year when we rolled out a new test taking app along with a casper password update (the password got leaked, so I was forced to update) and for whatever reason, be it wifi network issues, or client software issues some of the macbooks never updated the ssh account password. So what I did was go into the JSS and create a local account policy to modify the local casper admin account on the client machines. Set the new password and set it to run once per a machine every 30 minutes. Then I duplicated that exact policy and set it to custom trigger and set the trigger to resetCadmin. Then on all the machines that the management had some how been jacked up on I would open up ARD Admin on my MBP and do VLAN scans for all client machines and then use the 'send Unix' command via ARD admin to those machines. I ran it as root too, and this was the command /usr/sbin/jamf policy -trigger resetCadmin That would then force all of those machines to run that policy as root (so no authentication needed) and it would force a password change to the new and updated password. On a side note I found out that when you send 400+ clients to the JSS to trigger a custom policy at the same time it can come a bit unresponsive. This is my only guess as to why it is happening. That or for some reason your clients never got the updated password, or perhaps they weren't added with the quickadd.pkg? Do you have multiple passwords running about for casper? -tom >>> "Nichols, Jared" 07/10/09 6:56 AM >>> Hi- My self service prefs are currently set to not need any login or any local admin credentials to install, yet some of my users are being prompted for credentials (including my test machine).

Currently my users have a mixture of versions ranging from 12.1.0 to 12.1.9. I want to push out an update to take everyone to the current 12.1.9 version. My question is how I should execute this smoothly, specifically the time to execute. Would this be best done at startup? My guess is that startup is the best time to roll out any kind of large update so that users that are currently using the application are not interrupted and will also rule out the possibility of errors. Sorry for such a rudimentary question. We just had our jumpstart last month and I am still trying to wrap my head around the proper ways to take care of things. Thanks! -- Alan Benedict ?

And, since it is 12.1.9 you don't have to re-wrap it with Composer, just drop the mpkg file into Casper Admin. You will want to warn your user base that if they see a longer than normal login it is because you are installing software in the background. May even want to do the upgrade on a particular day and let them know ahead of time. When I was pushing some updates down here I had a lot of calls because the logins were taking a long time, and a lot of people were restarting their machines because they thought something was wrong. You might also do a search of the archives. Someone a few months ago detailed a process for using the JAMF splash screen that is used during an Adobe install to let users know there is an install going on. Or, you could write your own AppleScript Studio app to let users know.

The Office updates can be rather large (especially since they're finally combo updates now...Adobe, take a hint). Depending on how many you have to deploy, you could take your installed base, divide by 5 and cache that number per day over a work week. (Maybe split it up by department/network/building etc.) Then, set a policy to install all cached updates when people log in Monday morning. They'll all be taking their time on a Monday to get up and running anyway and if the package is cached, it won't take all that long. I saw someone else post that for non-critical updates, they let people pull them down with Self Service - a good idea if your environment allows that. You may want to consider implementing a patch schedule. We're in the middle of deploying SCCM and Casper enterprise-wide and the patch schedule will be huge. I'm actually following Microsoft's schedule - mainly because they have one! (Apple, take a hint.) On Patch Tuesday, any updates in our Software Update Server that have accumulated since the last Patch Tuesday are released (assuming they've been vetted and there aren't any show stoppers). Users have two weeks to self-install them with the usual Software Update. After those two weeks, I force install. For Adobe and Microsoft patches, I try and deploy them as in-frequently as possible, in-line with Patch Tuesday if possible, though that's not always do-able. Luckily, those don't typically require a reboot so they're less intrusive. Consider it... Users appreciate knowing when the schedule is and that you're not going to interrupt them with bothersome updates if you aren't scheduled to. j On 7/13/09 16:00 , "Alan Benedict" wrote: I am about to embark on my first update deployment of Office 2008.

We?ve found that installing CS4 and then applying both the Acrobat 9.0.1 and 9.1.0 updates has fixed this issue for us. Earlier voodoo still applies: 1.) Install CS4 2.) Install updates 3.) Launch Photoshop or some other non-Acrobat application first 4.) Launch Acrobat and Distiller. I still launch Acrobat and Distiller as an admin the first time but that may not be necessary.

I have recently been using Casper's account settings to bind the computers in one of our labs to both Active and Open Directory. AD binding is going flawlessly, however when we bind a computer to OD any managed preferences enforced at the user level are ignored. When a computer is bound manually to OD using directory utility managed preferences work perfectly, but if Casper does the binding only preferences enforced by computer group work. After a computer has been bound to OD by Casper, even if it is unbound and removed in workgroup manager then rebound manually, no user based preferences, such as disabling student access to system prefs, can be enforced without reimaging the mac. All preferences are managed through workgroup manager, not Casper's managed preferences settings. Has anyone encountered this problem, or have any ideas why it would be happening? Thanks in advance, Alex Madden -- Enter no conflict against fanatics unless you can defuse them. Oppose a religion with another religion only if your proofs (miracles) are irrefutable or if you can mesh in a way that the fanatics accept you as god-inspired. This has long been the barrier to science assuming a mantle of divine revelation. Science is so obviously man-made. Fanatics know where you stand, but more important, must recognize who whispers in your ear.

Much of this was down to the new Leopard server installation, which I have now resolved with a complete re install. I had problems with the Adobe CS3 package, which I thought I'd resolved. Last week it requested an Admin name and password, every time a User launched Acrobat Pro. I recreated the Adobe installation, creating a new .dmg file from the original disks, and dropping the dmg into Casper Admin. The only issue I had was that when a user launched any of the CS apps for the first time, the request for a serial number popped up. Selecting Quit, and re starting the app solved this. I created a policy assigned to a test user, to update CS3 at login. So just made ignoring the serial No request part of the re image/roll out procedure. This week, 3 Macs imaged all request the serial number and all now once again request an Admin name and password every time a use try's to user Acrobat Pro. Nothing has been changed in Casper Admin, the Adobe installer has not been touched. Believe me after I finally got it to work, I did not touch it, there have been no additions or changes to it.

To get around this you can create a 'guest' computer in WGM and completely unmanage the computer. Then when you bind your Mac clients, do not do authenticated binds with the computer name so the computer will not show up in WGM and therefore not pick up any policies for that computer and pick up off the guest computer. I hope that makes sense. -Tom >>> Alex Madden 07/17/09 1:47 PM >>> Hello all. I have recently been using Casper's account settings to bind the computers in one of our labs to both Active and Open Directory. AD binding is going flawlessly, however when we bind a computer to OD any managed preferences enforced at the user level are ignored. When a computer is bound manually to OD using directory utility managed preferences work perfectly, but if Casper does the binding only preferences enforced by computer group work. After a computer has been bound to OD by Casper, even if it is unbound and removed in workgroup manager then rebound manually, no user based preferences, such as disabling student access to system prefs, can be enforced without reimaging the mac. All preferences are managed through workgroup manager, not Casper's managed preferences settings. Has anyone encountered this problem, or have any ideas why it would be happening? Thanks in advance, Alex Madden -- Enter no conflict against fanatics unless you can defuse them. Oppose a religion with another religion only if your proofs (miracles) are irrefutable or if you can mesh in a way that the fanatics accept you as god-inspired. This has long been the barrier to science assuming a mantle of divine revelation. Science is so obviously man-made. Fanatics know where you stand, but more important, must recognize who whispers in your ear.

When you create a new local user, the template home folder is copied and then the user is given ownership of the files. On each Mac server, there is also a template home directory. When a network account is created, that template home folder is copied to the users home folder on the server, which is then accessed directly over the network or synchronized (depending on if you are using a pure network account or portable home directories). When you install software on your client machine, the templates are not adjusted on the server. Methinks that one could install the software on the server as well to update the templates. I've never done it, though.

You can't adjust partition size in Casper Imaging (that I've found). We have used different scripts in the past, but are trying to native tools for this. When I set Additional Partitions in the Configuration settings. If you set the size to 50GB and the percentage to 30% then the LARGEST that the partition will be is 50GB and it will take up no more than 30% of the available space. The Macintosh HD will be at least 70% of the drive. So on a 500GB drive, my windows partition will be 50GB and the Mac partition will be 450GB (roughly speaking). And on a 120GB drive the Windows partition will be 36GB (Actually 33GB b/c drive available is 111GB) and the Mac partition will be 84GB . This will work for me now that I understand it. I thought it was the other way, make the partition at least 50GB and up to 30% of drive. We may want to adjust those settings but the principal is the same. When somemone needs a different partition size, we can me a new config, :( or they can partition with script or Disk Utility.

Just use Disk util to create the Windows partition at whatever size you want, then lay the image down directly to that Windows partition.

You can set a size and % of drive. then a Winclone image for that 2nd partition. However, I don't see a way in Casper Imaging (when NetBooted) to adjust the partition size at the time of imaging. Say the configuration was set to 32GB - 35% of drive and I want 50% for a particular computer. Can I adjust the partition size in Casper Imaging, or will I need to setup multiple configs in CasperAdmin for different partition sizes?

The 12.2.0 update is a combo update for versions 12.1.0 and later. You must have at minimum 12.1.0 installed before 12.2.0 can be applied. Also, if your Office install has been modified, such as using a tool like Monolingual to remove extra languages, then updates will fail. This page has more information .

Smith, Technical Analyst MCS IT Merrill Communications, LLC (651) 632-1492 From Jason.Weber at district196.org Tue Jul 21 11:08:20 2009 From: Jason.Weber at district196.org (Weber, Jason) Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2009 13:08:20 -0500 Subject: [Casper] Office 2008 update package In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Not that I have a solution, but it might make you feel better knowing you're not alone! We also downloaded the update and are having the same problem. The trouble is with the updater itself I believe, as after I failed to install with Casper, I then just manually tried running the update on a few computers and were still having the same issue. It took about 3 tries of repairing permissions, rebooting, and manually installing this update to get it to go. Even after a fresh install, with a copy of MS Office 12.1.9 the update would still not apply. I had one of 4 test computers actually update on the first try.. Sounds like it's Microsoft's great programming for Macs! I looked up some knowledge base entries on this, and the big two things that were recommended were; * Repair permissions followed by a reboot. * Uninstall/Reinstall Office 2008 Then run the updates.. Not exactly a great process to fix poor software..

Followed the MVPS link, and the installer command-line item would work - the GUI installer wouldn't (from the .dmg downloaded from Microsoft). Used Composer 7 and the CLI to build my own updater package, which appeared to work, except Word would crash (tried it on multiple machines) upon launch, so I punted. I'll try 12.2/SP2 tomorrow and see if it works, but I am not optimistic... --Robert -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We also downloaded the update and are having the same problem. The trouble is with the updater itself I believe, as after I failed to install with Casper, I then just manually tried running the update on a few computers and were still having the same issue. It took about 3 tries of repairing permissions, rebooting, and manually installing this update to get it to go. Even after a fresh install, with a copy of MS Office 12.1.9 the update would still not apply. I had one of 4 test computers actually update on the first try.. Sounds like it's Microsoft's great programming for Macs! I looked up some knowledge base entries on this, and the big two things that were recommended were; * Repair permissions followed by a reboot. * Uninstall/Reinstall Office 2008 Then run the updates.. Not exactly a great process to fix poor software..

I thought I had it bad with about 8,000 and 6,000 of them being laptops.... We ran recon off a mac mini and had it run via network segments to grab all of our Macs into inventory. I also just would scan one whole VLAN in ARD Admin and drop the quickadd.pkg in and install it that way remotely, then also as post install send a recon command. When you get all your 20k clients in inventory I am curious to how big your database is going to be. My 6,000ish clients in my inventory makes my database around 6 to 8 gigs (with all the policy and package logs) and at times it has gone up to over 16 gigs but I trim it down when that happens. Do you happen to have any tech guys on site at these locations? They could always just load the quickadd by hand? -Tom >>> 07/23/09 9:06 AM >>> you can add PKG to Casper 7.

To be more specific, we'll be running Final Cut and Logic Pro. Owing to the way our classrooms work, we envisage that a course may run, say, on a couple of days a week over a period of several weeks. I need to adjust various existing Casper policies (e.g. user account clean up) accordingly. I was thinking about using Leopard server's external accounts for this purpose. The users would have a FW drive with their account and course data on it. We could store the drives between sessions so the users could just carry on where they left even if they were attending the course over a few weeks. And obviously for Final Cut it would be better to work with data on a local hard drive rather than over a network. It's one idea. Does anyone have any experience with using external accounts and Casper? I've never tried to work with external accounts "in anger", as it were but I'd be very interested to hear how people manage such courses with Casper. Also, when packaging Final Cut Express in the past I've tended to break out e.g. Apple Loops into a separately installable package. Given that FC Studio is effectively a suite, do people currently deploying it recommend breaking it out into its component parts, or bundling the whole lot up together in one big lump? I realise that requirements will vary but it would still be interesting to know what people find easiest to do with these big applications. Any thoughts gratefully received.

When you add them to the user group of lpadmin it would ask for password from the command line.

=C2=A0

dseditgroup -o edit -p -d admin -t group _lpadmin

dseditgroup -o edit -n /Local/Default -u admin -p -a $3 -t user lpadmin (this line would ask for user of admin password, no idea where to add if I = put it in the script?)

Is it checking for free disk space before it makes the back up? If you run it as admin, anything owned by root will be unaccessible, if you have any weird flags on your files it may be unaccessible, if you run it as root you can generally have it run on any file/directory. For example, if I did this du -d -x -h / with out putting sudo in front of it, everything under /private would tell me I don't have permission to view it. I think this may be a question for jamf as perhaps du runs to check the current back up paths free space, and if there is enough free space then it creates a back up? Or are you running any kind of custom scripts? >>> Justin Crowe 07/29/09 12:29 PM >>> If it is a permissions issue who should be the owner?

Other then setting up the backup schedule in the JSS Setup Utility, I did nothing special for this other then creating the folder in which the backups reside.

I haven't used package caching too much and from what I gather is I would have to make 2 policies. 1 to cache the package, and then one to run scripts and install from cache? If anyone has done this before could you please confirm it for me? I am going to test it out but am currently stuck rebuilding LDAP after a server issue so I won't have time to test it till probably the week after next.

I had changed a JSS account password. The solution was to delete the autorun data in the JSS. NilObjectException: According to Jamf Support, this is caused when a non-deployable package is part of a configuration in Casper Admin. The solution is to remove/delete the non-deployable package from that config and then try it again. I haven't verified this yet, but it sounds likely since the only thing I had changed was to make a deployable package non-deployable.

If you run it as admin, anything owned by root will be unaccessible, if you have any weird flags on your files it may be unaccessible, if you run it as root you can generally have it run on any file/directory. For example, if I did this du -d -x -h / with out putting sudo in front of it, everything under /private would tell me I don't have permission to view it. I think this may be a question for jamf as perhaps du runs to check the current back up paths free space, and if there is enough free space then it creates a back up? Or are you running any kind of custom scripts? >>> Justin Crowe > 07/29/09 12:29 PM >>> If it is a permissions issue who should be the owner?

Compose It takes the same amount of work as install Office and then doing a New & Modified diff on an existing package. This way, I can use this package to install a clean install of 12.2 for my imaging configurations or overwrite an existing install. In neither scenario does Office break, as long as you do it startup or logout when you can be sure users don't have their Office apps open. Just my $0.02

Lauren,

 

We are doing this.  Here is what we = do.

 

We bind our clients to AD and we have force local = home directory on startup drive checked.

We script out to change the users folder to our = Data partition and rename the users folder on the boot drive to = users.old

From there we script out a sym link to the users = document folder so that it is linked back to our server.  All other items = related to the user folder are local to the machine on the second partition. =  

I can send the script if you want to see = it.
