Now that you have the edits done, keep going through the technical paper, running the custom.sh script next to build the Custom folder we will need in a minute, and to download the installers. First of which is to hide the application from your users during installation. Edit AwayĪfter downloading and expanding the zip file, you will need to edit the userInfo.sh file to set some settings. While there are two different URLs, you can use either one to customize your install.
NOTE: If you are deploying version 5 or higher of CrashPlan, you can use this URL to download a newer version of the kit: Following the paper, you can download the custom template by navigating to this URL: The first step is to get ahold of CrashPlan custom template for the installer. This document still works for the newer version of the software. With the release of version 5 of CrashPlan, it has now become simply Code42 CrashPlan. Fast forward to now, and we have a single LDAP (AD) and I want to take advantage of that implementation to provide “same password” logins for my users.įortunately JAMF has a technical paper outlining how to do this, titled Administering CrashPlan PROe with The Casper Suite. This paper was written back when CrashPlan PROe was still a thing. At the time when we first deployed, we were not on a single LDAP implementation, so I didn’t want to deploy an LDAP integrated CrashPlan. Our original setup of CrashPlan that has been running for several years, was setup using local logins. It’s one of my primary tenets of customer support: make every reasonable effort to not disturb the end user, period. So when I discovered several of my end user machines were not backing up via CrashPlan, I needed to find a way to deploy CrashPlan with as little interruption as possible. Let’s face it, the more time I take performing IT tasks on their computer that cause them to not be able to work, the less money they are making for our agency. That’s a large part of the reason we use Casper, so that my users do not have to be inconvenienced.
I am all about trying to minimize the amount of time my users need to be interrupted due to IT needs. Put them together and it’s like when the two teens discovered peanut butter and chocolate as an amazing combination. I’m also a fanboy of Code42 and their CrashPlan software. I’m a fanboy of JAMF Software’s Casper Suite.
