Question about moving the .plist files to the new machine… In both Nigels post on AFP and Greg Neagels post on word press they show a script to add the MAC address to the the newly added dscl files….. But I can’t get either to work. How are other people managing this?

thanks in advance

[quote]If you make a package that only has a postflight script in it you can apply that with the installer…[/quote]

Dumb question how do I go about doing this? I have tried Many different approaches. I just want on bash script that has a few lines in it applied on my instadmg image.

Thanks for the help.

Great presentation the other day Josh 😉

I am setting up the Launchdeamon pointed to a script and then package it and put it in my package train. Which works but seems over complicated? Isn’t there just a way to package a bash script? I have tried many attempts and my pea brain isn’t grasping it. Wouldn’t that take a couple steps out of this process.

Just trying to simplify a process.

Thanks for the help

” how much structure (if any) do you have for updating the computers today?”

None. In the lab we use images we don’t really have a policy for users.

what I would really like to know is: After creating my image in InstaDMG. can I open up that image and copy in a new English.lproj ? If so how? I

If not I guess I will work on a script to copy it in before its imaged.

Thanks

All that I would like to change is dock prefs. Get rid of the Office 2008 first run. Add a shortcut for Remote Desktop Connection. So what I am hearing is I need to research how to do it with MCX settings?

Forgive me if I’m wrong here but isn’t using MCX after the fact? I would love to have my image coming from InstaDMG to have the settings in place on output. I already have my users set up with instauser…. and no more setup screens using clearreg. Now if i can have it already set up for my users (1 admin and either a lab or staff login) to have the settings already set up this would really answer my need.

Thanks for the help.

Most of what I want done will be done with WGM.. But we are using Macbooks in a business environment using Microsoft Terminal server.. I have used Mike Bs tutorial many times. I would like to just replace the English.lproj folder on completion and I would be happy the problem I have is actually replacing the English>lproj file in the image created. The DmG is not editable. I was just wondering if anyone out there has used a post flight script or managed to accomplish this some how. Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Thanks
