This script automates the silent download and installation of the
SAManage asset installer onto a Mac running Mac OS X 10.6.x and higher.

Script adapted from SAManage's original silent install script:

This script prepares a customized OS X installer disk image for use with VMware Fusion

This script prepares a customized OS X installer disk image for use
with VMware Fusion. It's adapted from the prepare_iso script created by
Tim Sutton:
https://github.com/timsutton/osx-vm-templates/tree/master/prepare_iso

Running the script:

Run the create_vmware_osx_install_dmg.sh script with two arguments: the
path to an "Install OS X [Mountain] Lion.app" or the InstallESD.dmg
contained within, and an output directory.

Example usage:

If you have a 10.8.4 Mountain Lion installer available, run this
command:

sudo create_vmware_osx_install_dmg/create_vmware_osx_install_dmg.sh
"/Applications/Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" /path/to/output_directory

This should produce a DMG file at output_directory that's named
OSX_InstallESD_10.8.4_12E55.dmg. An MD5 checksum is printed at the end
of the process.

Removing now-unneeded section from script

Tim pointed out that the referenced section from his script was now
unneeded after my edits.
Adding a for_download directory with a zip archive of all files

Adding a for_download directory with a zip archive of all files. That
will allow the whole directory to be downloaded in one go.
Updating final status message in create_vmware_osx_install_dmg.sh.

I noticed that the final status message in
create_vmware_osx_install_dmg.sh still referenced adding the iso and
checksum to a Veewee template. Removed the reference.
Adding install_latest_adobe_flash_player.sh

This script will download the latest Adobe Flash Player and install
Flash Player using the installer package inside "Install Adobe Flash
Player.app".
I've updated the create_vmware_osx_install_dmg.sh script that I had previously posted.

I've updated the create_vmware_osx_install_dmg.sh script that I had
previously posted about. It now includes the ability to create an .iso
file that can be used with VMware ESXi servers running on Apple
hardware. See below the jump for the details.

When running the script, the user will now be asked if they want an ISO
disk image for use with VMware ESXi.

If the user selects Yes, both a .dmg and an .iso file will be created
and stored in the output directory.

If the user selects No, the message "-- ISO disk image will not be
created. Proceeding.." will be displayed and a .dmg file will be
created and stored in the output directory.

The virtual drives created by VMware ESXi for OS X VMs are not
automatically formatted, so support for System Image Utilty's
AutoPartition.app has been included. AutoPartition.app runs before the
installation of OS X to make sure the boot drive is formatted and named
correctly for the automated installation.
Adding MIT license to scripts repo
Fixed the admin rights functionality so that it actually now grants admin rights

I had made a mistake in earlier versions of these scripts, where admin
rights weren't actually being granted. Now fixed.
Posting force_unbind_from_active_directory script

This script is designed to force-unbind a Mac running 10.5.x or higher
from an Active Directory domain. The username and password in the
script are not designed to be actual accounts, but they are needed to
allow dsconfigad to perform a forced unbind.

When forcing an unbind, dsconfigad will check to see if a username and
password are specified in the command. It does not appear to check with
the Active Directory domain to see if the account account actually
exists.

This script must be run with root privileges. It is also available as a
payload-free package.

Posted update warning in README

I’ve updated the create_vmware_osx_install_dmg.sh script to include Mavericks support.

I’ve updated the create_vmware_osx_install_dmg.sh script to include
Mavericks support. Can now be used on 10.7 - 10.9 to create custom OS X
installers for 10.7.x, 10.8.x and 10.9.x.
Posting updated disable_icloud_pop_up script

I updated my disable_icloud_pop_up script so that it now also stops the
iCloud pop-ups on 10.9. Tested on 10.8.5 and 10.9.0.

Posted updated README for iCloud pop-up disabling script

Starting in 10.7.2, Apple set the iCloud sign-in to pop up on the first
login. Since having this appear may not be desirable in all Mac
environments, it makes sense to be able to turn this off for new user
accounts.

Apple is using
/Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SetupAssistant.plist to
store  the settings that indicate whether or not the iCloud sign-in
process has run. Building on work done by the folks behind
DeployStudio, I've built a script that pre-sets those values for new
and existing accounts on a particular Mac. In turn, that should stop
the iCloud pop-up message from appearing on that Mac.
Updated FileVault 2 check scripts for Mavericks compatibility
