Distribution points are servers used to host files for distribution to computers and mobile devices. The following types of files can be distributed from a distribution point using the Casper Suite:
Packages
Scripts
In-house apps
In-house eBooks
The Casper Suite supports three types of distribution points:
File share distribution points
A cloud distribution point
JAMF Distribution Server (JDS) instances
You can use any combination of these types of distribution points.
By default, the first distribution point you add to the JAMF Software Server (JSS) is the master distribution point. The master distribution point is used by all other distribution points as the authoritative source for all files during replication. You can change the master distribution point at any time.
When planning your distribution point infrastructure, it is important to understand the differences between each type of distribution point. The following table explains the key differences:
File Share Distribution Point | Cloud Distribution Point | JDS Instance | |
Description | Standard server that is configured to be a distribution point | Distribution point that uses one of the following content delivery networks (CDNs) to host files:
| Distribution point that is managed by the JSS, similar to a computer or mobile device |
Maximum Number per JSS | Unlimited | One | Unlimited |
Server/Platform Requirements | Any server with an Apple Filing Protocol | None | Mac or Linux |
Protocol | AFP, SMB, HTTP, or HTTPS | HTTPS | HTTPS |
Ports |
| 443 | 443 |
Authentication Options |
| None |
|
Files that Can Be Hosted |
|
Note: If you use the cloud distribution point, scripts are stored in the jamfsoftware database. |
Note: If you use one or more JDS instances, scripts are stored in the jamfsoftware database. |
Parent-Child Capabilities | No | No | Yes |
File Replication Method | Replication to file share distribution points must be initiated from Casper Admin. | Replication to a cloud distribution point must be initiated from Casper Admin. | Replication to root JDS instances must be initiated from Casper Admin. Replication to non-root JDS instances happens automatically and immediately. |
Selective Replication | Google drive android. Not available when replicating to file share distribution points. | Available when replicating to a cloud distribution point if the master distribution point is a JDS instance or file share distribution point. The files for replication must be specified in the JSS and the replication initiated from Casper Admin. | Not available when replicating to root JDS instances. Sengoku basara 4 pc bit torrent. Available when replicating to non-root JDS instances. The files for replication must be specified in the JSS. The replication from non-root parent to child instances is initiated on check in with the JSS. https://coolgfil682.weebly.com/paste-2-0-0-clipboard-history-manager.html. |

Casper Suite For Mac Os X
Casper Mac Os
Casper Suite has the ability to have machines directly download and install Mac App store apps but it requires a Volume Purchasing Account which we aren't able to have. There was some good work being done by Dmitry Rodionov on github in creating a Mac App Store Command Line Interface (mas-cli) but it has a few problems with the latest macOS. Jul 31, 2014.
