Heya awesome Mac admins! I am still relatively new to this whole Jamf thing and looking into setting up Jamf Setup Manager to install our apps before the user reaches the desktop. I am trying to follow guides and getting hung up quite a bit on step 1 of most them, “package Setup Manager”. This is kind of a loaded step. I have tried several ways of doing this. I have packaged the zip, which didn’t work. I have extracted the .zip to the desktop and then packaged, didn’t work. I have tried putting the extracted zip in different folders, then packaging from there with Composer, didn’t work. How the heck do I package this thing for deployment? The configuration from Jamf Pro is relatively straightforward, I just need some help making sure the actual files are in the proper places.
Hi folks, I’m trying to find a way to report (at the very least) which of our devices have Jamf Connect enabled in System Prefs>Privacy & Security>Local Network. Based on my investigation, it seems like SIP/Apple blocks this particular preference from being viewed or modified by MDM’s (on macOS 15+). I have seen similar discourse around the weekly system prompts for Camera/Screen recording and some solutions there, but nothing for this. I am preparing to upgrade all of our Macs to Sequoia 15.5, about ~80 computers. My org uses Entra for login + network drives and I’ve found that end-users on Sequoia that don’t have this enabled have issues with password sync and accessing the drives. Grateful for any input or advice!

I have Jamf connect configured with entra ID and requires authentication with their network account at each restart. My users are unable to sign into their macs offline because the account cannot authenticate with microsoft. Is this a setting within jamf connect that I can change to allow a local account to pass through when not connected to internet?

Question for how/if we have controls to deploy a specific app version to iPads. We have a couple applications we use and work closely with the developer and schedule when we make the update available on our EFB iPads. We use the check boxes ‘Schedule Jamf Pro to automatically check the App Store for app updates’ and ‘Force App Update’ to accomplish this. Today is the first time we noticed a different version was installed than what Jamf Pro is reporting as available.This is what is showing under Mobile Device Apps.Does it always install the newest version of what’s available in the Apple store via Self Service regardless of what Jamf Pro is reporting? When looking at the Inventory for the iPad we see that 10.5.1 was installed.

Good Day!I am testing Platform SSO out in our environment and so far it is working great! We are pushing out MSCP via the Jamf Mac Apps. We’re using “Password” as our authentication type. Setup with Entra. And we do not currently have any custom config, just out of the box setup. Our machines are NOT Bound to AD, and we use local standard user accounts to start off with. then register and sync passwords. I have 2 major issues that I would love to hear from the hivemind:We are seeing that we can put in many bad passwords at the login screen without any repurcussions. If the machine was compromised, what is stopping someone from brute forcing the correct password? Is there a way to set password attempts? When a user’s password changes they can obviously go re-authenticate and sync their password again, but what if a user just ignores this and never syncs their password? Meaning whatever their password WAS is what they are using to Log In and then use a different password for their AD Ac

I wanted to start a new post due to all the interest in some older posts. We are about to start a closed beta test of an app we built to help address a hole we saw in the digital signage space. We wanted a way to simply connect Google Slideshows to Apple TVs and we couldn't find a solution that fit our needs. So we built our own solution. Our app, Simple Signage, is a easy way to connect Google Slideshows to Apple TVs. You just copy the share link into Jamf, set the intervals for the slides and how often you want the slideshow to refresh. That is it. It has worked so well for us all year, we decided we would share with the community, but first we are hoping a few people will help us tryout and test the app. If you are interested in our app Simple Signage and would be willing to help us beta test it through TestFlight, just respond here and I will message you privately with more information.
So any update about branding options of the SelfService+ App? So If I want to change the text under the "Welcome to Self Service+" is this possible?thanks.
Hi,I recently set up a new Windows Distribution Point and am now trying to connect to it via the Jamf Sync App, but cannot get a connection. I see the DP in jamf sync, but it only asks for a password, not for a username. No matter what password I use I always get the error Message “Failed to load the … distribution point: cannotGetFileList” Unfortunately the new jamf support is pretty useless as there is not more option for me to communicate in english. All communication is automatically translated to german, but the translation is not that good so I often dont quite get what the supporter wants to tell me. Just english would be much better for me.
