MacOS migrationToolWS1 Revisions Were Needed to Function

[nverselab]

Just a few notes on adjustments I had to make to get the migrationToolWS1 working in my lab in case anyone else needs some direction:

• The DEPNotifyPath does not match the folder structure in the Application Payload. Make sure these align.
• The two regex patterns were coming back as "failure to resolve". This can be avoided by either putting them into variables and/or surrounding them in double quotes and single quotes. IE: "'regex-pattern-here'"
• The default value of the enrollmentProfilePath couldn't find the *.mobileconfig even though it was the only one there. Changed it to look for the documented example file name, but if you set it in the migrator.plist it would be irrelevant.
• The user prompts do not load. I had to add a registration button to kick them off.
• the jq application cannot be verified by MacOS and needs to be whitelisted with xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /usr/local/bin/jq

Hope this helps!

Hey @nverselab, thank you for the write up. It seems I am running into the same issues you have listed here. I am able to remedy most of them, but could you please elaborate what you did for point 2 and point 4? Thank you.

2) in the migrator.sh script: In the init_registration() else statement

regex="'[A-Z0-9a-z.-_]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\\.[A-Za-z]{2,3}'"
/bin/launchctl asuser "$currentUID" sudo -u $currentUser defaults write menu.nomad.DEPNotify textField1RegexPattern $regex

And at the begining of the Main Code under Read Configured Options

regex="^((-{1,2})([Hh]$|[Hh][Ee][Ll][Pp])|)$"
if [[ "$1" =~ $regex ]]; then

4) Also in the migrator.sh under the init_registration() function i added a button to the end of both the if and else statement:

  if [[ "$promptType" = "username" ]]; then
    log "prompting for username"
    /bin/launchctl asuser "$currentUID" sudo -u $currentUser defaults write menu.nomad.DEPNotify registrationMainTitle "Enter your username"
    /bin/launchctl asuser "$currentUID" sudo -u $currentUser defaults write menu.nomad.DEPNotify textField1Label "Username"
    /bin/launchctl asuser "$currentUID" sudo -u $currentUser defaults write menu.nomad.DEPNotify textField1RegexPattern '[A-Z0-9a-z.-_@]'
    ## Issue - Prompt for user email never shows up. Adding button to trigger registration page.
    depnotify "Status: Click the button below to start migrating."
    depnotify "Command: ContinueButtonRegister: Begin"

  else
    ## Issue - Regex does not resolve as value.  Made it a variable
    log "prompting for email"
    regex="'[A-Z0-9a-z.-_]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\\.[A-Za-z]{2,3}'"
    /bin/launchctl asuser "$currentUID" sudo -u $currentUser defaults write menu.nomad.DEPNotify registrationMainTitle "Enter your email"
    /bin/launchctl asuser "$currentUID" sudo -u $currentUser defaults write menu.nomad.DEPNotify textField1Label "Email"
    /bin/launchctl asuser "$currentUID" sudo -u $currentUser defaults write menu.nomad.DEPNotify textField1RegexPattern $regex
    ## Issue - Prompt for user email never shows up. Adding button to trigger registration page.
    depnotify "Status: Click the button below to start migrating."
    depnotify "Command: ContinueButtonRegister: Begin"
  fi
