<br />
<div align="left" style="text-align:left;"><font face="Arial" size="+0" color="#000000" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:#000000;">When a machine (specifically it seems the white/black MacBooks, but we can reproduce on an older MacBook Pro), phone home every 15-minutes to update their inventory on the JSS, or when </font><font face="Monaco" size="+0" color="#000000" style="font-family:Monaco;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">sudo jamf recon</font><font face="Arial" size="+0" color="#000000" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:#000000;"> is run, the optical drive makes a noise as if a disk is ejecting. This is the same noice you may get when going into System Profiler and you choose <i>Disk Burning</i> in the Contents menu.</font></div>

<div align="left" style="text-align:left;"><font face="Arial" size="+0" color="#000000" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:#000000;">It doesn't seem like a big issue, but we have users panicking that their hard drive is dying, and it would seem that over time this could potentially shorten the life of the hardware. I could obviously kill the Recon/Update inventory policy, but knowing how often things change around here, that's not the most appealing solution.</font></div>
