macOS 26 Tahoe Rosetta 2 issues

We have been using the following script as part of our deployments since Apple silicon became a thing (I did not write the script). It appears that the “--agree-to-license” no longer functions in Tahoe and appears to invoke “help” in policy logs. Manually running “softwareupdate –-install-rosetta --agree-to-license” also returns “help” contents. Has anyone else seen this? #!/bin/bash# Installs Rosetta as needed on Apple Silicon Macs.exitcode=0# Determine OS version# Save current IFS stateOLDIFS=$IFSIFS='.' read osvers_major osvers_minor osvers_dot_version <<< "$(/usr/bin/sw_vers -productVersion)"# restore IFS to previous stateIFS=$OLDIFS# Check to see if the Mac is reporting itself as running macOS 11if [[ ${osvers_major} -ge 11 ]]; then# Check to see if the Mac needs Rosetta installed by testing the processor processor=$(/usr/sbin/sysctl -n machdep.cpu.brand_string | grep -o "Intel")if [[ -n "$processor" ]]; thenecho "$processor processor installed.

What the Heck Does JAMF mean?

Since this came up during our meetup:The name "Jamf" is a reference to Laszlo Jamf, a character in the novel Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. It’s not an acronym. It’s not rude. It’s not what happens when you type “f” really hard.Knowing is half the battle. . .

Anyone using TeamDynamix?  We are looking at changing our ticket system however, we want something that is integrated with JAMF or at the least user friendly with JAMF.  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Enabling Title Editor Entry

Hi dear Jamfies, since im quite new to the whoe jamf environment and had to take over a whole functioning instance, i wanted to make Tahoe available via Graham Pugh’s “Erase-Install” script. The manual, i was left with described, that as first step, i have to create an entry via title editor and just copy and paste the information (with adjustments) from the earlier version. Now in my case, i cannot enable this title, meaning, it wont show up in Jamf Pro, please see attached screenshot. I also seem to fail understanding the note given, since the manual i was given from earlier coworkers does not mention any other steps besides copying and pasting the information on software title tab and requirements tab. Can someone help me out? Thanks in advance.

what happened to the Resource Center box??

For awhile both Jamf Pro and Jamf Protect had a Resource box on the dashboard page. Both are gone now and we are just redirected to countless webpages to click through to find the information buried. Another useful tool gone….

Time machine: backup size limit based on client storage

Is it possible to create a Time Machine backup profile that limits the backup size depending on the clients storage. For example, if a Mac has 512gb storage I want to limit their backup size to 1TB but if they have 2TB storage I want to limit them to 4TB. Obviously I could create groups based on device storage size and apply a different config to each group. But I’m wondering if there’s some formula I could enter in the “Backup Size Limit” field or some other method to achieve this nicely. Thanks!

Microsoft Active Directory Strong Certificate Mapping Requirements breaks wifi certificate

Hello guys, i am affected by the MS latest security patch Microsoft Active Directory Strong Certificate Mapping Requirements. My devices cant connect to wifi via certificates after the latest patch. My devices are not in domain, also users are local , so when i tried the objectsid Extension attribute it didnt work even though i have cloud idp as azure connected and i guess its because users are local. Do anyone have any idea how to tackle this :) Can we use UPN or some other attribute for macbbos that uses local user account and not in domain?

iPadOS 26 - Jamf Pro lists default apps as "Other" (ie. not in the Mobile Device App Catalog)

I (like others) use a smart group for students which lists devices that have “Apps Not In the App Catalog Are Installed”, in case some talented student is somehow able to download or sideload apps we don’t allow. I then use a configuration profile to hide all apps except those they downloaded/sideloaded, making their device near useless until they remove the offending app.Unfortunately with the iPadOS 26 update, Jamf Pro reports all the iPad default apps (camera, contacts, calendar, etc.) in the installed apps report. As these are default and can not be purchased through the app store, there is no way to add them to the app cataloge. So now every device that updates to iPadOS 26 will be considered to have unnauthorized apps on them. Not sure if this is a bug that Jamf will be able to fix, or if there is another work around to this.

Self Service+ Crashing on all Macs (Tahoe)

I think might be a Tahoe this? Multiple Macs in my environment have been having Self-Service+ crash whenever we run anything on it. It just closes itself with no error or explanation, and the subsequent policy doesn’t run. Tried on multiple policies with the same result on multiple different Macs, all on Tahoe (26.0). Had no problems with the Beta. Has anyone else seen this? I’ve deleted the keychain for Self Service+, re-installed, and deleted the cache for Self Service+ as well.Is this a known issue, by chance? Self Service+ version is 2.8

Disabling AI features in iTerm2?

Has anyone gone through the process of creating a Configuration Profile Applications & Custom Setting payload to restrict the AI options in iTerm2 (the prefs domain is “com.googlecode.iterm2”)? And if so, can you post the profile in this thread?Since I hate to re-invent the wheel I figured I’d ask before starting to build a payload for this from scratch…
