Roger-

I had the same problem and found the below email chain, and most specifically the latest response directly below from Chad Brewer, to be most helpful.  (Thanks Chad!)

Thanks,

Justin

What I did is extract jamf.exe from recon.exe.  You can do that by running recon.exe /x.

Then I run jamf.exe in a .bat file as a startup script via group policy.  My .bat files looks like this:

copy /v /y "\\server.domain.com\distribution$\Recon\jamf.exe" c:\windows\temp
c:\windows\temp\jamf.exe recon -overrideJSS https://casper.domain.com:8443 -username imaging -password ******

After digging around, I think what you are supposed to do now is use Recon.exe on one of your workstations to create a QuickAdd.msi file. You can then host the MSI file in a shared folder some place and use Group Policy to install the MSI file (under Computer Configuration > Policies > Software Settings > Sosftware Installation - doing this will install it when the computer turns on, before login.) Just make sure the Source path is a network path that Everyone has read access to.

Subject: [Casper] Windows Recon Rollout



We are looking to roll out Recon on Windows using group policy.

I found this command through some googling:



PATH\Recon.exe -server DOMAIN.COM -username USER -password PASS



But all the command does is launch Recon. Did the command change for Recon on Windows? Or is there another recommended way of doing this? Thanks.

Is it just me or has the documentation for using Recon.exe on PC's disappeared ? There is a version of Recon.exe in Casper 7.1
but there is nothing in the documentation about it.

You used to be able to add them using a command like this.


 *   C:\Prg\Casper\Recon.exe -autorun -server 10.1.1.1 -username username -password yourpassword
Is that still valid ?
