Mac Application Deployment

I am trying to use SCCM 2012 SP1 to deploy SCEP for MAC's. I have created the .cmmac file. When I ran the utility to create the .cmmac file it asked which package under the .dmg file I wanted to run the program against. I chose installer.pkg.

I have created a deployment for the program and set it to required. I deployed it to the Collection group that contains my mac machines.

The application doesn't install.

Here are the following things I have found

1. The mac clients are definitely connection to SCCM 2012. I can click connect now and it connects fine. The clients show up in SCCM as active and I can browse hardware inventory.

2. I have made it so on the installer command I have sudo in front of the /usr/sbin/installer command

3. I ran the same sudo command for the installer.pkg file manually and it worked fine.

4. All the CCMclient.log files talk about are not being able to Fetch/get certain information about the package.

5. The package is being deployed to the Distribution Point without an issue. When I look at the package inside of SCCM it still gets listed as In Progress as a status for deployment but the category is Waiting for Content.

Here is all I can come up with so far for ideas. Didn't know if somebody could offer any more options to try.

1. When manually installing the client doing sudo I had to type a password. Yet when I am looking at the package in SCCM 2012 I didn't put a password anywhere. It just says in SCCM that the installer will run as the System Account. I have tried without the sudo command also with no luck.

2. I didn't chose to pre-deploy the package to the users primary device. I didn't think this mattered as I thought with Mac's it ignored any user settings. But still didn't know if this could be an issue.

I too am having this issue. I'm trying to deploy Firefox (v20.0) to a test collection. My SCCM client is installed fine, the UNC path is available, etc... I cant see any issues with the way I've set this deployment up, however it has been sat there now for 24 hours 'In Progress', 'Waiting for Content'.

If you have resolved this, I'd be interested to know what the problem was...

Thanks

Did you ever figure this out?  Running into this same issue with SCCM 2012 R2.

Running into the same problem, tried Firefox and SCEP for Mac, both are stuck on Waiting for Content. Any ideas?

I am also having the same exact issues. When i first implanted SCCM 2012 SP1 and MAC OSX integration package deployment work liked like a charm.. The first tow packages i ever crated always deploy fine. Then for some odd reason any packages that i created after that never works. I get failed to find blah blah in the logs.

Yes, I know this is an old post, but Im trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?

Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening  a support case with CSS as they can work with you to solve this problem.
