Platform SSO with Account Creation

I’ve tried testing a few times with Tahoe Beta and now Release and can’t get a Platform SSO to trigger an account creation. I’m tried just scoping profiles to target workstations, adding the profile as well as adding the profile to my Pre-stage. What am I missing? PSSO works great once an account is created, however I can’t get the Tahoe specific options to occur.

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?

Is it just me, or are the jamf binaries slow on Tahoe

Now that Tahoe is out of beta, gremlins that I'd noticed earlier now feel more pronounced. During Build testing I find myself frequently running through sudo Jamf recon ; sudo Jamf policyBut since moving to the release of Tahoe they’re just painfully slow to report data. It doesn't matter if it’s an upgrade from Sequoia to Tahoe or fresh install via IPSW. Wired or wireless. ...S.L.O.W… Is it just me?

Set Account Pictures via Jamf ConnectBlog

This guide will walk you through setting the local macOS account pictures for end-users via Jamf Connect Requirements: Jamf Pro Jamf Connect Formatted ID Token Path setup in Jamf Connect Login Config (/private/tmp/token) Azure Storage Blob Email addresses of users follow a pattern for all users (john.smith@myorg.com, jsmith@myorg.com, etc..) Tested with: Azure AD and Jamf Connect Test User: John.smith@ericsontech.com Steps: 1. First step is to get all of your user images. To make this easy on yourself name them the same as the user's email address. So for John Smith his email is john.smith@ericsontech.com I would name his image as john.smith@ericsontech.com.png and upload that image and all other user's images to an Azure Storage blob. Example: 2. Setup this script to run via Jamf Pro. I have mine setup to run via Jamf Connect Notify Note:  You will need to update this with your Azure Storage Blob url  curl -L "https://myazureblobname.blob.core.windows.net/mdm/$EMAIL.png" -o /tmp/

Office MAU MSupdate command failing with XPC error

Howdy all, I am facing an issue that I can’t seem to solve with running Microsoft AutoUpdate via script from Jamf to keep our mac office apps updated. I have had this set up for several years and it had been working beautifully as a hands off solution. I am not sure exactly when it started failing, I recently noticed the problem and started digging into it. I am wondering if anyone is facing the same problem, or has advice on what to try.The setup is fairly simple, a policy that runs against a smart group of any macs with office apps that are not the latest version once a day. It runs a script to use the MAU command line msupdate to pull and install any available updates.Script is below, it only worked under user context originally so that is why it is set that way.The error I am seeing on every run now is related to the XPC connection, this happens on all clients no matter what, -reinstalled MAU with latest version, brand new mac build with latest install etc. I have the original PPP

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.

Defer macOS 26 for 90 days

Our school district would like to defer the upcoming macOS 26 upgrade (scheduled for release on September 15) but still allow security updates for macOS Sequoia.What is the best way to configure this in Jamf Pro so that the major OS upgrade is blocked, while security updates and minor patches for Sequoia remain available? Thanks

Unable to use Single App Mode

Hey all, Wondering if anyone has any ideas on this? I am wanting to utilise SAM to lock down our iPads to a specific app. Trying to scope this through a department group but the device isn’t showing in the logs for the configuration profile. There are devices in there, just not the two that I specifically need. Both devices that aren’t showing in the logs are supervised and managed institutionally so unsure on what the issue is here… I have also checked to see if I can manually add the two devices but they are not showing when I try to search for them? Getting increasingly confused as the devices that are showing scoped currently, and are in the profiles logs, are NOT supervised...
