[Casper] jamf MCX in 7.1

[Ah King, Travis]

Unfortunately, it seems that I do have to run these commands after every imaged machine. Seems like a bug right now. My work around will be to run a script on reboot (maybe) to run those commands.

As for your user preference, make sure in your JSS, under:
    Management > Management Framework Settings > Apply User Level Managed Preferences,

Make sure that option is unchecked. Then run (on your client with the problem):

sudo jamf manage

And then run the previous two commands (dscl and rm) from the previous email. Reboot and see  if that helps...

This got rid of the jamf MCX plist from directly within the /Library/Managed Preferences/ directory but I still got a user subdirectory with jamf MCX within that after rebooting. And I am not enforcing MCX at the computer or User level from within Casper :(

Are you having to do this on all of your newly imaged machines? So far I have only done two since upgrading to 7.1 and they both have this issue.

Thanks for the tip.

I worked with support on this and this seems to be the resolution (although I'm testing with the bulk of our users).

Ensure you update the Management Frameworks

dscl . -delete /Computers
rm -Rf /Library/Managed\ Preferences

Reboot the computer after that. The first reboot should be fine for any user preferences. For us, we use OD to show a blurb at the login window (as well as other things). That does not show up after the first reboot. After logging in as a user, it grabs the preferences from the OD server and then, after logging out, applies the blurb at the login window.

Hope that helps out for now. I'm doing more testing, but that seems to resolve the problem for us.

Hello all,

The jamf binary started pulling down MCX on newly imaged machines after upgrading to 7.1. The box for "Apply Computer Level Enforced Managed Preferences" is NOT checked.

The problem is we have no MCX settings setup in Casper so it is essentially pulling down nothing and preventing the machine from getting MCX from OD. I have tried removing the Managed Prefs folder, rebooting, checking and unchecking the setting in the JSS to no avail. Also unbound and rebound the machines to OD / AD even though I know that shouldn't change anything.

These jamf MCX plists are getting recreated even when the machines are off the network.

Any ideas?
