Scripting

here is one of the scripts we use to join domain as a post install task with the k2000

#!/bin/bash

### You must edit these for your specific CLASSROOM

# 1) fully qualified DNS name of Active Directory Domain.
domain="tmccacad.tmcc.edu"

# 2) username of a privileged network user.
udn="macjoiner"

# 3) password of a privileged network user.
password="XXXXXXXXXX"

# 4) Distinguished name of container for the computer
ou="cn=ATC-206,ou=MACs,ou=dandini,ou=campuses,dc=tmccacad,dc=tmcc,dc=edu"

# 5) 'enable' or 'disable' automatic multi-domain authentication
alldomains="disable"

### End of configuration

# Get the local computer's name.
computerid=`/usr/sbin/scutil --get LocalHostName`

# Activate the AD plugin, just to be sure
defaults write /Library/Preferences/DirectoryService/DirectoryService "Active Directory" "Active"
plutil -convert xml1 /Library/Preferences/DirectoryService/DirectoryService.plist

# Bind to AD
dsconfigad -f -a $computerid -domain $domain -u "$udn" -p "$password" -ou "$ou"
dsconfigad -alldomains $alldomains

# Add the AD node to the search path
if [ "$alldomains" = "enable" ]; then
    csp="/Active Directory/All Domains"
else
    csp="/Active Directory/$domain"
fi

dscl /Search -append / CSPSearchPath "$csp"
dscl /Search -create / SearchPolicy dsAttrTypeStandard:CSPSearchPath
dscl /Search/Contacts -append / CSPSearchPath "$csp"
dscl /Search/Contacts -create / SearchPolicy dsAttrTypeStandard:CSPSearchPath

# Restart Directory Service
killall DirectoryService
sleep 2

exit 0

Hi,

You may want to look at http://www.deploystudio.com/Home.html we used it for large scale mac deployments (We don't have k2000 :-(  for deployments. For sysprep replacement there isn't one, but the deploy studio will walk you through on setups for the machines and different workflows (configurations) that can be applied to the machines.

I'm using this script to change the machine new below. Is there a way to generate the name to be unique (serial # or something like "Apple Lab 1" "Apple Lab 2", etc?)

 #!/bin/bash

HOSTNAME='example'

/usr/sbin/scutil --set ComputerName "${HOSTNAME}"
/usr/sbin/scutil --set LocalHostName "${HOSTNAME}"

exit 0
