From preinstall script I wonder if this could be the problem:

–installDirPath=”$2″

Not sure what it should be though. I’m assuming $3 won’t work in this case.

Adobe preinstall script:

#!/bin/sh

echo “AAMEE Installer : preinstall launched…”

oldWD=`pwd`

parentDir=`dirname “$0″`
cd “$parentDir”

cd “$oldWD”

if [ -f “$WD/AdobeDeploymentManager” ]
then
echo “AAMEE Installer : Working directory is $WD”
else
echo “AAMEE Installer : Working directory is not valid $WD”
echo “AAMEE Installer : Trying to find relative path from pkg”
WD=”$1/Contents/Resources”

then
echo “AAMEE Installer : Working directory is $WD”
else
echo “AAMEE Installer : Working directory is not valid $WD”
echo “AAMEE Installer : AdobeDeploymentManager is not present in the working directory. Corrupted Installer. ”
exit -1

fi

echo “AAMEE Installer : Launching AdobeDeploymentManager…”

ADMExitCode=$?

echo “AAMEE Installer : Exit code of AdobeDeploymentManager is ($ADMExitCode)”
echo “AAMEE Installer : Exit …”

Hmmm. I am having the same problem. I am running 1.6b2 and it doesn’t appear to be installing. It is after my repackaged ilife09 (with previous updates), but before the individual updates like in the last post.
I also tried grabbing the packages with softwareupdate and splitting them “thomasb” did, but instead of two packages I end up with iLifeSlideshow_11.pkg and 061-7594.English.dist.
I thought I remember something like this in the past – like if the host system doesn’t have it installed or something.

Does anyone remember that or having similar issues?
Thanks!

[vogtstev]

Does anyone know how to get just the specific vendor print drivers. I’m assuming this is not an option anymore. I would basically like to remove Epson and Canon drivers. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Gustavus Adolphus College of Minnesota has been using Composer + InstaDMG + DeployStudio since they came out. Great products!

[vogtstev]

Thanks for all your great information. I found the loginbanner example. I’ll give it a shot. I was thinking AppleScript Studio was on it’s last life. Oh well, looks it’s time for me to learn Objective C.

Thanks!

[vogtstev]

Thank you. That is what I suspected, but wanted top make sure I hadn’t set something wonky.

[vogtstev]

Thank you! That makes perfect sense!! Here is what I did:

LOCAL=`/usr/bin/dscl . read /Users/$1`

# Check if user is local
if [ “$LOCAL” != “” ]; then
HOMEDIR=”/Users/$1″
fi

Thanks!
Steve

Thanks for the info about edquota. Just out of curiosity, would be setting this on the server or would I be doing some type of check with it at user login?

thanks for any more info.

My initial accounts get created with InstaDMG, but faculty are free to rule their own computer to a point and add their own accounts. They usually do this through system prefs on the local workstation. So I would need to update something on my workstations. Hmmm.

[vogtstev]

Hmmm. So I’m thinking it’s not really augmenting since i haven’t ever set that up, but definitely using some form of the magic triangle. I’ve been trying to think of ways to get this fixed and so far this is what I have:

1. Prevent the “augmentation” – no idea how I can do this aside from removing machine from directory services which means I would loose all management. I would like this to work.
2. Asked OpenLDAP admins to change the UID’s of the few in the 500 UID range. They said they were worried about this causing problems. What would this cause?
3. Have to change UID’s on all my clients. This is the most work, but maybe what I’ll have to do. The only problem is that I believe leopard will create UID’s again starting in the 500 range. Is there a way to tell it to start at 550 or 601 or something?

Thanks again for any ideas!

I originally tried to put the seperate disk packages in, but it didn’t work properly as I suspected. I ended up just repackaging with composer. It surprisingly didn’t take long at all. I installed, ran updates and packaged. It seems to be working great so far. It did take InstaDMG a long to create the image. It ended up being about 50 GB since fcp is huge. I just left it over night and all was good when I came in the next morning. Good luck

[vogtstev]

So I went to Search/Users and looked at each record. They of course had all different info, with the exception of the UniqueID. I also looked at /Search/config and only noticed my MCX and a macosodconfig containers and nothing to do with augmenting. Not sure if I was looking in the right spot for the augmented record or not. I have never specifically setup augmented records either. Am I looking in the right spots?

Thank you!!!!!!
Steve
