MacAir will not reboot after "jamf createAccount"

[jskinner]

ran the following script on a macbook air... after doing so... SSH does not work.. and when you try to reboot, it stays at the Apple logo screen...

/usr/sbin/jamf createAccount -username CasperAdminAccount -realname CasperAdminAccount -password whatever -home /private/var -admin -hidden -secureSSH

Not sure if this is the issue… but the -home path should be /private/var/username. It's possible that making the home folder the whole /private/var folder messed with some boot necessary files.

I think that was it... I changed the home folder path and my client seems to be happy now. Now i have to fix the test machine I broke.

I did a reinstall without formatting using the recovery part... which seems to be ok. But I wonder if there is an easier way...

Thank you so much for the tip!
