I moved from Managing an all Windows and Chrome environment to an environment of all Macs and mostly Mac Servers. Its Been a large learning curve. Doing ok mostly, except I’m not sure on a few things related to mapping the Shares when mounting images for deploying the MDS workflows.
I put the created workflow disk image in a folder on the desktop of an old Mac mini Printserver called MDSResources which I shared out to guest read only for testing before moving it elsewhere.
Here is the syntax I’m attempting to use:
mkdir /MDSResources/macimages
mount_smbfs smb://guest@PrintserverMac.local/MDSResources
hdiutil mount /MDSResources/ST13BSURWPackages.dmg
/Volumes/MDSResources/run
Question 1: for MKDIR, if the share is directly to the /MDSResources folder on the desktop and I put in mkdir /MDSResources/macimages I’m assuming it makes the directory “macimages” inside of the shared MDSResources folder, but for the hdiutil command, I still use the original path of where the image currently is at or hdiutil mount /MDSResources/ST13BSURWPackages.dmg , correct?
Question 2: Can you explain the command /Volumes/MDSResources/run so I know what it should be named or pointing to? With the external drive workflow process, it was very clear but not wrapping my head around it for a server based image for some reason.
Again, going from an all Active Directory Windows and Chrome environment to an almost entirely Apple environment has been challenging so I greatly appreciate patience with my questions and the helpful tools you provide here.
