On June 24th, I attended Jamf Nation Live in Munich – and I'm still buzzing with excitement.Jamf has once again demonstrated why it is considered the leading provider in the Apple enterprise environment. I found the new developments around Jamf Pro particularly exciting, including improved integrations with Microsoft Entra ID, automated compliance checks, and even closer integration with Apple Business Manager. For businesses, this means less manual work, greater security, and easier scalability. Above all, the new self-service features give IT teams more control while giving end users more flexibility—a real productivity boost. In addition to the technical innovations, the exchange with the Apple Admin Community was the real highlight for me. I saw many familiar faces and made new contacts. What always impresses me is the exceptionally open and helpful atmosphere in the Apple world. People share scripts, best practices, and solutions without any sense of competition—that's really uni
HI Jamf Nation,I was wondering if there is already a Jamf Group dedicated to Mac admins in the LATAM region. I might have missed it, or perhaps it hasn’t been created yet. If it doesn’t exist, I’d love to explore how I could start one to help foster conversations and collaboration among admins based outside the US and APAC.Thanks again for all your support, and best of luck with the new Jamf Nation experience.
A lot of machines recently asked for the update of Slack helper tool.Is there a way to stop it from happening?Thank you!

I was not going to be able to go to JNUC 25 on my own and my job doesn’t have the resources to send me. Today I found out that I have been awarded the “JNUC ‘25 | Diversity Sponsorship”. Being a newer JAMF Pro Admin, I am incredibly stoked to have been giving this opportunity!! I just wanted to put this into the universe so I could connect with some folks before the conference. I would also love to connect with any other Scholarship recipients.Can’t wait to meet you all!!!
I’m struggling, we’ve got a policy that disables uninstalling apps and system apps, and we have a policy that enables uninstalling apps and system apps.I’ve confirmed the Disable policy was removed from the device and the Enable policy was installed. I’ve confirmed no other applied policies are affecting those toggles (“remove apps” and “remove system apps”)For some reason, the device still won’t let us uninstall apps. What am I missing? We’ve restarted the devices and still no luck.
I uploaded the Protect plan to Jamf Pro configuration profile. I was wondering if Protect also works on devices? I tried to upload the same file to the devices but it ends up failing. If there is any documentation for deploying to devices, please point me to it!
At some point in your career as an Apple Admin, you’ve (most likely) inherited a Jamf instance and said either to yourself or out loud, “Huh, I wonder why they did that. I certainly wouldn’t do it that way” or “That’s not the best practice I was taught”. Caveat: There’s no such thing as best practice. The better concept is defining the best practice for your environment. This is where you get to step in and be the hero. It’s your job to take the environment, back it up first. Make sure you backup your instance and sync it to your free Jamf sandbox (If you don’t have one, talk to your rep). Once you’ve backed up and sync’d to the sandbox, I hope you’re noticing the theme here…you can get started with the H.E.R.O. process. Something not mentioned is the process of writing documentation. DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT. Write down everything from the current state, proposed changes, changes you made (with dates), how configs work, work
I’ve got a weird issue with MS Defender Configuration Profiles applying/Un-applying intermittently. As part of our enrollment process we install MS Defender and apply Configuration Profiles. This has been working fine for close to 12months.Now for some reason even though the Configuration Profiles are still applying (You can see them in Device Management). The configuration doesn’t always apply even when it does apply the settings can stop taking affect shortly afterwards.Device Management still has the Configuration Policies applied.I’ve tried downloading fresh configurations, onboarding etc. from Microsoft with exactly the same result. Has anyone else seen this?

Hello,I just set up SSO in Jamf Account.I'm not sure where I need to grant administrator privileges to your Identity Provider (IdP) to configure a connected app and assign the relevant users and groups.
Hi everyone, I’m currently exploring the possibility of deploying Jamf Connect in our organisation. I have setup the SSO in Jamf Account to point to our EntraID tenant and it’s working fine to login users in both Jamf Account and Jamf Pro Cloud. All the documentation seems to suggest that I need to configure another app in Entra ID to allow Jamf Connect to authenticate users but since Jamf has introduced the Jamf Account OIDC SSO to try and harmonise things, I’m wondering if I can just point Jamf Connect at that rather than creating a new app. Can this be done or am I misunderstanding how the OIDC SSO connection works in Jamf Account? Thanks,Kieran
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.
