[QUOTE][u]Quote by: Macleod[/u][p]If you look at dsconfigad, you will see that the arguments have changed.
10.6:
dsconfigad [-f] [-a computerid] -domain fqdn -u username [-p password]
[-lu username] [-lp password] [-ou dn] [-status]
10.7:
dsconfigad -add domain -username value [-computer value] [-force]
[-password value] [-ou dn] [-preferred server]
[-localuser value] [-localpassword value]
Update your scripts to use the new arguments, and you should be fine.
You should note though that dsconfigad now automatically adds “All Domains” to the search path on bind, and few options can be configured before the machine is bound, since there is no longer a persistent plist tracking the ad options. If you turn off “All Domains”, you will need to manually remove it from the Search Path.

I agree with that, and we should use new bind script specially for Lion with correct syntax and parameters order of command dsconfigad to try it. According to some tests on Lion 10.7.1 with Win 2003 AD, I wrote a simple one bind script. Sure, it’s still based on previous AD bind scripts, but you can see some things are changed in “#Bind to AD” and “#Configure advanced options” sections. Please feel free to try, and give feedback.

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: yoshi[/u][p]dumb question but how you reference the packages that you want to install with instadmg.bash ?

cause I always used instaup2date and catalog files

😆 [/p][/QUOTE]

Though not good at shell script, but I got the tip from the comment line 841 of instadmg.bash

[code]
…….
# install packages from a folder of folders (01, 02, 03…etc)
……
[/code]

And yes, page 4 of InstaDMG1-6rc1.pdf mentioned it too, thanks Allister for that.

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: Goldberg[/u][p]Has anyone successfully deployed Office updates 14.1.0 and 14.1.2 in instaDMG? How did you do it?[/p][/QUOTE]

Goldberg,

As I mentioned already, I got them worked in InstaDMG, what need to do is let the updates apply the following droplet patches, the patches order does not matter.

[url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11466/InstaDMG%20PatchOfficeUpdate%200.4.dmg[/url]

and

Thanks for the authors of the patches.

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: zesh1[/u][p]Hi Guys

I want to create an image with just the OS and admin account on.

Then use deploystudio to deploy it. I also was to install other applications in packages but do not want these to be part of the main build as different users require different software and its much easyer updating a package rather than a whole image.

Can i somehow delpoy these packages through deploystudio in the imaging process?

I have used casper before. Whats the best way to do this with instadmg and deploystudio?

Do i need to use instaup2date?

All i have managed to do is create a vanila image from a base image which pulled some updates from somewere? The Base image was 10.6.3 and i ended up with a 10.6.7 image?

I have read the google pages for this but am getting confused between instaDMG and the uptdatebit?

Some help would be appricated

Thanks

[/p][/QUOTE]

Mr Karl Kuehn has provided clean train of thought is: InstaDMG—->DeployStudio—->Munki

Good luck.

[wadewei]

WIth what server? Snow Leopard Server or Lion Server when you extended AD? I believe there must be different changes between them. And we should use Lion Server Admin Tools to mange 10.6 and 10.7.

[wadewei]

Yes, I think so.

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: wadewei[/u][p][QUOTE][u]Quote by: dead2sin[/u][p][QUOTE][u]Quote by: cyberatz[/u][p]No special patcher is required to fix this 😯

Basically, download the update file (see links above) from MS. Kill any running instances of Communicator. Move the file from your Applications folder to trash. Run the updater. The updater will basically reinstall communicator with the correct 13.1.0 version.

None of this patcher stuff.

Enjoy.

[/p][/QUOTE]

This is specifically for building images using InstaDMG. Communicator shouldn’t be installed on your build system to begin with, so I assume you are referring to installing the update on a standard client system?

Any luck for new published update ” Office Update 14.1.0 and 14.1.2″? I’ve tried with InstaDMG(with the OfficeUpdatePatch run for them) and DeployStudio, but no luck, still stayed in 14.0.2

[/p][/QUOTE]

With the following patchs run, the problem was gone with InstaDMG, not tested yet with DeployStudio

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: dead2sin[/u][p][QUOTE][u]Quote by: dknisely[/u][p]I think I must be an idiot, but I can’t seem to get the patcher to do anything. Is it supposed to work on the “Communicator13.1_ALL.dmg” file? I still get the same error when I try to run the updated version. Am I supposed to drop the dmg file on the patcher or the extracted mpkg file? Neither has any effect.

Any help would be appreciated as the repeated requests by Microsoft Office Autoupdater are very annoying and it appears there are new features in 13.1.[/p][/QUOTE]

For Communicator, you’ll want the Office Update Patcher: [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11466/InstaDMG%20PatchOfficeUpdate%200.4.dmg[/url]

The Update patcher will patch 2008, 2011 and Communicator updates.

The Office 2011 Installer patcher is strictly for the Office 2011 installer.

Basically, you need to drag the .pkg/.mpkg to your desktop or any other folder that isn’t a read-only DMG. Then, drop the .mpkg on the patcher and it will make the changes necessary for it to work with InstaDMG.

If you mount the .dmg from Microsoft and try to just drag the .mpkg onto the patcher directly, it won’t do anything because the .dmg is read only.

Let me know if you run into any other issues.

Nate[/p][/QUOTE]

Hi, Nate

Thanks for your patchs.

But I can not download Update patch from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11466/InstaDMG%20PatchOfficeUpdate%200.4.dmg, and can not download Installer patch V1 though I tried many times with the help of friends in different places, I just can download Installer patch V2 and V3.
So would you mind sending Update patch and installer patch v1 to my email [email protected]?
And
For installer Patch, Is the installing process as V1—->V2—->V3? or just installing V3 is OK?

Thanks very much.

Wade
