Local Account password reset policy

[ewaddy]

I have been tasked by my information security officer to create a policy to reset the local admin account password once a month. I have created this policy in the local accounts section and I receive an error everytime the policy runs on my test computer. Has anyone gotten this to work correctly? I have posted a picture of the error I am getting.

Hi @ewaddy,

We get a similar error when changing the local admin PW, however the change actually goes through. I think my team has a ticket open with JAMF regarding the issue.

@ewaddy The JSS GUI is misleading; specify either the Username or the Short Name, not both.

ok thanks I will try that out.
