Like most Mac IT people, I often write scripts to do the thing. These are mine. Feel free to borrow/use as you see fit.
Most of my scripts make a few assumptions about what's on the system, and where. You will want to keep these in mind:
- cocoaDialog: I use Locee's fork of cocoaDialog 3 beta, which will display over
loginwindowand work at logout. Generally, I hide this in/Library/Application Support/JAMF/bin/because reasons - you can put it wherever you'd like. Just be sure to update the variables. - progressScreen: For the DEP Deploy, I make use of a slightly modified version of Jason Tratta's ProgressScreen. The default one will work fine, but you may need to pass a extra line or two of Apple Script to hide the exit button and make it full screen by default. YMMV.
As with anything, test before you deploy, and know that artesianal scripts come without any warranty promise of their doing the thing.
