Mass Deployment for IDrive^®

To deploy the IDrive^® package to Mac,

1. Prepare the Customized IDrive^® deployable PKG

   The default IDrive folder must be packaged into a format that is deployable by Jamf Pro. This can be done using the Jamf Composer tool.

   Download the IDrive^® mass deployment package.

2. Steps to register a set of computers under a particular group or with a Private Key encryption method

   Admin may choose to register a set of computers under a particular group or with a Private Key encryption method during the mass deployment.

   The installation requires configuring a .plist file and installing it along with the IDrive^® mass deployment package.

   The com.idrive.packageinstaller.plist file can contain the following keys:

   Key Value Description Default

   groupName String Specify the name of the group to which this computer will be assigned No group

   encryptionKey String Machine registers with this private encryption key No encryption key

   configurationID String This is the unique configuration ID that can be copied from the 'Add Computers' section in the Backup Console configuration ID copied from Backup Console

   trayHidden Number 1 - Enabling this option will prevent users from accessing the tray options on their computers
   0 - Unhide tray and allow users to access tray options 0

   deviceTag String If your installation uses device tags, provide the corresponding tag name. This will ensure it appears under the 'Email Address/Tag Name' column in the IDrive^® 360 dashboard No Tag
