CCT Casper System Setup & Configuration 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is the recommended ambient temperature range for a Casper system installation environment?
- 50°F–95°F (10°C–35°C) (Correct answer)
- 32°F–80°F (0°C–27°C)
- 60°F–100°F (15°C–38°C)
- 40°F–90°F (4°C–32°C)
Correct answer: 50°F–95°F (10°C–35°C)
Casper systems require an ambient operating temperature of 50°F–95°F (10°C–35°C) to prevent thermal damage.
Question 2: During initial Casper server configuration, which network protocol must be enabled for client imaging to function over PXE?
- TFTP (Correct answer)
- FTP
- SFTP
- SCP
Correct answer: TFTP
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is required for PXE boot environments to deliver boot files to Casper clients.
Question 3: When configuring Casper's management framework, what is the purpose of the 'JSS URL' setting?
- It points clients to the JAMF Software Server for policy retrieval (Correct answer)
- It defines the location of software update catalogs
- It sets the URL for Casper remote desktop sessions
- It specifies the backup server address
Correct answer: It points clients to the JAMF Software Server for policy retrieval
The JSS URL directs enrolled Casper clients to the JAMF Software Server to retrieve policies, inventory, and configuration profiles.
Question 4: Which file system format is required on a Casper NetBoot server volume for macOS imaging compatibility?
- HFS+ (Correct answer)
- APFS
- FAT32
- exFAT
Correct answer: HFS+
HFS+ (Mac OS Extended) is required for NetBoot volumes because legacy macOS imaging workflows depend on this format.
Question 5: A technician is setting up Casper Remote on a new admin workstation. Which TCP port must be open on the target client Mac?
- 5900 (Correct answer)
- 443
- 8443
- 22
Correct answer: 5900
Casper Remote uses Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) over TCP port 5900 (VNC) to connect to client machines.
Question 6: What is the default check-in frequency for Casper-enrolled clients communicating with the JSS?
- Every 15 minutes (Correct answer)
- Every 5 minutes
- Every 30 minutes
- Every 60 minutes
Correct answer: Every 15 minutes
By default, Casper clients check in with the JSS every 15 minutes to pick up pending policies and inventory updates.
Question 7: When deploying a Casper distribution point, which authentication method is recommended for securing SMB shares used for package distribution?
- Dedicated service account with read-only access (Correct answer)
- Anonymous guest access
- Admin account credentials shared with all technicians
- Certificate-based mutual TLS
Correct answer: Dedicated service account with read-only access
A dedicated read-only service account limits exposure while allowing Casper clients to authenticate and download packages securely.
