Track your deployed builds?

[mgb123]

Is anyone out there tracking their deployed builds using something straightforward like a receipt in a hidden folder somewhere?

I set ARD field #1 to the name of the image that was applied.

I do the same thing Nate does. Works great and of course is readable via ARD.

defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteDesktop Text1 -string ‘Version 5.6’
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteDesktop Text2 -string ‘December 2010’

Genius. I’m a dumbass.

Can those defaults be set in a preboot script, of are they only available post boot?

[Goldberg]

I don’t know about preboot script. I run them as part of my firstboot script

I set the image that was applied during the DeployStudio workflow to a temp file, then upon firstboot I write the contents of that file to the ARD file. Works like a charm.

/var/log/InstaDMG_package.log can be expanded upon I’m sure, patches welcome.
(you guys do realize that exists, right? I’ve been hoping to add the flags passed by instaUp2Date to the log somehow for a while now)

Yes, I know the InstaDMG_package.log exists and sometimes use it to troubleshoot. The downside is it’s not easily readable or searchable as a using ARD text fields.
