Issue: When we upgrade 10.7 clients that were enrolled with JSS, to 10.8 by running 10.8 installer, the admin account is moved to /private/var. We are not able to login to this account after the upgrade.
We have received reports of logged on user accounts missing after upgrading to 10.8. This is happening on mac's that are managed by JSS.
Install.log is as below for the admin account;
