The final 3rd step is under Files And Processes and I execute the command "sh /var/tmp/crashplanOpenClose.sh". Installer -pkg /Volumes/CrashPlanPROe/Install CrashPlanPROe.pkg -target /ģ. #!/bin/shĬurl OF LOCAL CRASHPLAN SERVER:4280/download/CrashPlanPROe_Mac.dmg > /var/tmp/CP.dmg I'd imagine if you don't have a local CrashPlan server you could probably find a URL that works similar from your Cloud hosted server. This DMG also drops into /var/tmp a script I called crashplanOpenClose.sh.Ģ.Next a script runs that downloads the newest CrashPlan from our CrashPlan ProE local server. Anyway you want to edit custom.properties. I can't remember why because it's been so long but for some reason 1 didn't work and other didn't work but doing both did. Policy installs a DMG that drops some files in /Library/Application Support/CrashPlan/custom and. Policy runs at First Login or via Self Service set to Run Onceġ. This was 3-4 years go so I don't remember where it came from and it's been working perfect since so I haven't touched any of these scripts. I remember years ago finding information about deploying custom crashplan installations. Usually, it's due to the user not synchronized in CrashPlan or if we're migrating from 1 computer to another. For unknown reasons sometimes it doesn't. However, I've found I still usually want the user to open CrashPlan post setup just to double check everything is working and backing up. Would be great to hear from others who have got their CrashPlan running in an automated setup. postflight of setting up a MacBook) or if the Code42 server itself can be configured to automatically setup the necessary CrashPlan user profile whenever a new AD account attempts to log in for the first time. Instead I would prefer either a script to add the user to CrashPlan (e.g. But I would much rather not do it this way. I have come across the 'Add Users' section of the Code42 console, where a mass list of users in a text file can be uploaded to Code42 server. But when a user logs in on a Mac, CrashPlan can't log in as the user is not yet listed within the CrashPlan's own list of users. So I have got the custom installer all done and it installs no problem. I have already followed the useful JAMF guide to this at: What's the best setup or method to achieve this? I have been tasked with setting up and deploying CrashPlan to all of the MacBooks via Casper, and would ideally want everything to be silent and triggered without any user interaction whatsoever.

Setting up CrashPlan here in an environment where all of our users have AD setup.
