Hi, We are using Jamf to deploy Parallels to certain users.I guess that starting from Catalina it stopped working, it just fails. Installation failed. The installer reported: installer: Package name is Parallels Autodeploy Packageinstaller: Installing at base path /installer: The install failed. (The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. An error occurred while running scripts from the package “ParallelsDesktop-15.1.1.pkg”.) When performing a manual install it asks for Downloads, Desktop and Documents access.Using the PPPC tool i've uploaded that config, but when opening it. The Documents access is not shown and cannot add it either.Could this be the issue? Anyone else having this issue?
Parallels Desktop 26 was recently released, but whilst attempting to deploy it to users using Jamf Pro I quickly identified that the traditional deployment method which Parallels are providing using their deployment package does not work beyond Parallels Desktop 20. And as Jamf also don’t provide an App Installer for Parallels Desktop 26, this lead me to look at alternative deployment methods. The result is that I have created a scripted process whilst will download & install the latest version of Parallels Desktop 26, then a license key is also fed into the script, the activation of Parallels Desktop 26 will also be performed. Below is the script that I want to share incase any other Jamf Pro admins are stuck with trying to deploy Parallels Desktop 26. #!/bin/bashcd "/Library/Application Support/JAMF/tmp"# Update variables. These shouldn't need to change for each update dmgName="ParallelsDesktop.dmg" dmgLink="https://link.parallels.com/pdfm/v26/dmg-download/?experience=enter_key"

Hi AllI'm currently conducting research on Jamf Connect 3.0 as part of a project at work. I'm looking for any recommendations, insights, or resources regarding: How Jamf Connect 3.0 works Best practices for deployment Compatibility with existing systems (macOS versions, identity providers, etc.) If you've had any experience with it or know of helpful documentation, I'd appreciate any input you can share.Thanks in advance!
Hey All,Is it possible to change the timeout on a Jamf Cloud console session?We're on Jamf Cloud 10.42 using SSO to login to the console, if that matters.The main issue (among others), is that when performing a GSX lookup, the web session usually times out before the look up finishes.We have ~1400 workstations which takes at least 10-15 minutes to update, but more often than not results in a session timeout. I've tried creating a SMART group where there is no Warranty info for the device, but the only options are Warranty Expiration is before/after or within a certain # of days.It does seem as though if I open a new JSS tab in the same browser window and work in there while the GSX lookup is ongoing in the other tab, that the GSX lookup session will not timeout.I did check the SSO settings, but it only has a Token expiration time, which is not what I'm looking for. Thanks for any thoughts.Phil

Sometimes you ask your self if you’re thinking right or not. But in this case I’m rather sure my thinking is correct but Jamf doesn’t understand or doesn’t work correctly. :)I’m make a smart user group that lists all computers with architecture type arm64 and with some exclusions. Se bellow. Without the exclusions it gives me 929, with the exclusion it should give me 918 but gives me the same as without exclusions.Am I thinking wrong or is something wrong with Jamf???
Are you doing work that excites you? Are you still learning and growing?These aren't easy questions to ask, but they're critical for a fulfilling career. The truth is, sometimes the most courageous thing you can do for your professional life is to recognize when a role or company no longer serves you.Don't be afraid to listen to that quiet voice telling you it's time for a change. It's not a sign of failure, but a sign that you've grown and are ready for the next challenge.Your career is a journey, not a prison. Have the courage to build the one you truly want.What was a sign that told you it was time to move on?Please share your experience in the comments. I am curious. 🤔
We’ve run into an incompatibility between Clever IDM that rosters/creates our Google student accounts from SIS data and Jamf cloud IDP. I am trying to fill data from Google attributes (Job Title “title”) into the “position” field within Jamf. My mappings are correct. Clever IDM writes these attributes into Google with a customType of “CleverIDM”, but Jamf only looks for entries with no customType.Example: "organizations": [ { "customType": "CleverIDM", "department": "Mathews High School", "title": "IMM1" }, { "customType": "", "title": "IMM1" } ]Any one have any options or have you ran into this before?Can Jamf use department/title where customType = "CleverIDM"?If not, could Jamf match on another attribute, such as employeeID using customType?
Hello everyone, i did a test run for the jamf Class Assigner yesterday. After going through the steps in the documentation i got the app running in teacher and student mode. But even though the teacher ipad is assigned to a teacher user (including managed Apple ID loged in on the Teacher device) i get "Teacher not assigned to device" displayed in Class Assigner. i built a manual class in jamf school with a user assigned as teacher and tried importing a class from ASM with teacher and student rolls defined, same error. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey All,We’ve been using a fleet of WiFi Only Apple TV’s as digital signage in single apple mode, we changed the configuration profile, and this appears to have disconnected all of them, while keeping them stuck in single app mode. Is there a way out of this? Kind Regards,Jarrah
