Dell KACE Package

Has anyone had any luck deploying Dell Kace with JAMF and figuring out how to point it to the right server?

I can't make a composer image from it from what I can tell, because once you install it and point it to a Kace server, it configures the computer and such specifically. So a snapshot is worthless.

actually there are a couple ways I've done this. option 1 is most reliable

Option 1
Upload the ampagent.pkg to jamf server and create policy to cache the pkg
Either script or execute command sh -c 'KACE_SERVER=your.fqdn.com installer -pkg /Library/Application Support/JAMF/Waiting Room/AMPAgent.pkg -target /' && rm -Rf /Library/Application Support/JAMF/Waiting Room/AMPAgent.*

Option 2
write script to connect to the k1000 client drop as guest
add script to download the kace agent dmg
mount it and run the install command
sh -c 'KACE_SERVER=your.fqdn.com installer -pkg /Library/Application Support/JAMF/Waiting Room/AMPAgent.pkg -target /' && rm -Rf /Library/Application Support/JAMF/Waiting Room/AMPAgent.*
unmount all

Thank you for the response, option one seems like the way to go.
