CCT Casper System Setup & Configuration 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A Casper technician needs to enroll a Mac without user interaction. Which enrollment method supports zero-touch deployment via Apple's DEP?
- PreStage Enrollment (Correct answer)
- User-initiated enrollment via a web browser
- Recon enrollment by scanning the serial number
- Manual enrollment via a configuration profile
Correct answer: PreStage Enrollment
PreStage Enrollment leverages Apple Device Enrollment Program (DEP/ABM) to automatically enroll and configure devices at first boot without technician intervention.
Question 2: In Casper Suite, what is the role of an 'Activation Code' during JSS installation?
- It licenses the JSS instance for a specific number of managed computers (Correct answer)
- It encrypts the JSS database at rest
- It authenticates the JSS with Apple's push notification servers
- It sets the initial admin password
Correct answer: It licenses the JSS instance for a specific number of managed computers
The Activation Code is a JAMF-issued license key that defines the number of computers the JSS instance is authorized to manage.
Question 3: Which Casper utility is used to capture a configuration snapshot of a Mac for use in imaging workflows?
- Casper Composer (Correct answer)
- Casper Admin
- Casper Imaging
- Recon
Correct answer: Casper Composer
Casper Composer captures the differences between a clean OS state and a configured state, creating packages for deployment.
Question 4: A technician configures a Casper policy to run at 'Check-In'. Which trigger fires this policy?
- When the client contacts the JSS on its scheduled interval (Correct answer)
- When a user logs in to the Mac
- When the Mac starts up
- When a network change is detected
Correct answer: When the client contacts the JSS on its scheduled interval
The 'Check-In' trigger causes the policy to execute whenever the Casper agent makes its scheduled contact with the JSS.
Question 5: When setting up SSL for the JSS, what is the minimum recommended key length for the SSL certificate?
- 2048-bit RSA (Correct answer)
- 512-bit RSA
- 1024-bit RSA
- 4096-bit RSA is required
Correct answer: 2048-bit RSA
A 2048-bit RSA key is the minimum recommended length for JSS SSL certificates to meet current security standards.
Question 6: Which Casper component is responsible for collecting hardware and software inventory from enrolled Macs?
- Recon (Correct answer)
- Casper Remote
- Casper Composer
- Casper Imaging
Correct answer: Recon
Recon (short for reconnaissance) scans and submits detailed hardware and software inventory data to the JSS.
