Is there any equivalent application to Microsoft's AD Users and Computers but available for Mac OS X?Basically the only time given, my specific role, to access a Windows box or start-up a Windows VM is to unlock a users account on AD or to move/delete a computer object in the Mac OU in AD. Given those two specific requirements is there a Mac app for that (that is free if possible)? I have looked before into this and I could only find outdated apps or very expensive high-end server style Enterprise solutions. Thank you

Students are using Performance Matters but are just accessing Google Lens. We can open a Chrome window and type the following in the address bar: chrome://flags and it opens a settings window where you can enable and disable features but we are looking for a way to add an XML file to Google Chrome in Jamf School for our iPads to disable Lens Overlay. I have seen this XML file but I’m not sure it’s written for Jamf School:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"><plist version="1.0">    <dict>        <key>LensOverlaySettings</key>        <integer>1</integer>    </dict></plist> Has anyone had success in disabling Google Chrome Lens in Chrome from Jamf School?

I have had success with scripts to insert the auth code for SPSS in past but SPSS 30 will not apply code through script. Popup still comes up. Script that used to work was this one. I have tried few option using the SPSS instruction manual but no success. What's working for you all?   

I have worked through paloalto's official support document which explains how to create a jamf policy to uninstall Global Protect. It say that the script will run with "superuser authority". However, it still prompts the user to authenticate for the removal of the extension. Is there any way to get around this prompt on the user side?

Thanks in advance for your input...Our current scenario: our newly purchased iOS/iPadOS devices are automatically enrolled into Jamf Pro and then go into a default group. This group has a relatively restrictive Configuration Profile that prevents users from adding an Apple Account. If the user needs a different configuration or apps on their device, they need to submit a form to the device management team. From there, the device mgmt team works with the user and so on. Since we’re in education, we’re dealing with a full gamut of needs, business apps, engineering, utility/infrastructure, scientific, entertainment, media, development...you get the idea. So, we can’t anticipate ALL of the apps users want beforehand.Questions: what is your organization's workflow for newly purchased iOS/iPadOS devices? And how do you communicate to end-users where to go for additional support/apps/configs when they power on their new device?We're thinking either a wallpaper with messaging about reaching ou

I am suddenly having an issue with JAMF deployed apps. I’m only seeing the issue happening on 3 apps that are paid for. The apps deploy properly to the iPads but are now prompting the user to sign in to an Apple Account whenever the app is opened on the iPad. If they hit cancel it allows them to use the app but when they close out of it again, it will prompt the sign in again.Our VPP token in JAMF is not expired, the location is correct, Managed distribution for the app hasn’t changed since it previously been setup and working and we have enough licenses and this issue only suddenly started happening. I’m not seeing it on the free apps. Any feedback or direction would be great, thanks!

Apple Classroom on Teacher Macs in Jamf School - Possible without Managed Apple IDs?We're migrating from Jamf Pro to Jamf School. Previously had Apple Classroom working with Macs and iPads via ASM roster syncing from our SIS—no Managed Apple IDs needed.Current status in Jamf School:✅ Apple Classroom works on teacher iPads and student iPads ✅ Jamf Teacher app works on teacher Macs (shows rostered classes) ❌ Apple Classroom on teacher Macs won't load rostered classesTeacher Macs aren't receiving the Education Profile despite fresh enrollments. I suspect it's related to MDM-capable users, but can't confirm. Class data is clearly flowing (iPads get it, Jamf Teacher gets it), so it seems like a device-specific enrollment issue.Is Apple Classroom on teacher Macs possible in Jamf School without Managed Apple IDs?The solution seems tantalizing close based a on a checkbox still available in Jamf School - just that it only applied to pretty dated OS versions. Other 2 year old post   

For test purposes, I have a very simple shell script. #!/bin/shkillall Dockexit 0A policy runs the script, and it’s available in Self Service. When I run it from Self Service, it works as expected (I can see the Dock restart itself). Hooray!However... (1)Self Service reports “Item Failed”, and (2)when I go to the Policy and check its logs, there’s no indication the Policy ever ran (status remains Pending).Is there a way to reset the Dock that Self Service won’t regard as a failure, and fail to log the Policy execution? 

We are a school and deploy laptops to students starting in the 7th grade.  Administration would like to set it so that the computers lock between 10pm EST and 6am where the students cannot log into their device.  We have tried a few things but at best we can get the computer to lock but students just log back in.  Does anyone have a similar setup or suggestions on how to properly setup a curfew on an Apple laptop? For what its worth we are working with all Apple Silicon laptops. Thank you!

We have run into a situation where closing the lid on a Mac Book Pro or even just setting the device to sleep is resulting in a machine that cannot be recovered without holding down the power button.I’ve looked for changes that might be causing this but the only thing I changed (and have now disabled) was an extension attribute that was reporting PlatformSSO status.OS impacted are Tahoe, Sequoia and Sonoma generally on latest versions.If anyone has any clues on which logs might reveal why this is happening or to help understand what a fix might look like, that information would be gratefully received. 

Hello, looking for some help/advice.Has anyone successfully deployed the Dameware Remote Everywhere Agent?Does anyone have a working script they could share?We have created the bulk agent and have the ID, but no success.Thanks for any info.

Hello everyone,i wanted to roll out our new custom TeamViewer Host and everything works except that our custom design with the company logo is not displayed. I did it exactly as in the instructions: https://hcsonline.com/images/PDFs/Jamf_Teamviewer_Host.pdf After the custom logo didn't show up, I kept searching and came across these instructions: https://community.teamviewer.com/English/kb/articles/50739-mass-deployment-on-macos#perform-an-assignmentThe groups and the membership works but unfortunately our custom layout does not. Am I missing something or have I done something wrong?  

Hi everyone,I'm currently preparing to move about 500 devices from Jamf to another MDM. I've made sure all devices are updated to macOS and iOS/iPadOS 26 and have tested moving a few devices to confirm that it works without deleting them first.The question is, is there any way to see if they have been moved in Jamf? And if so, trigger a cleanup somehow?

Does anyone know if there is a to turn this setting off without admin credentials?Through terminal command or config profile? Thanks!

Unable to complete file upload. fiie contents does not match file type in Jamf when uploading an automated device enrollment token from apple business manager

Evening All I have spent the best part off 3 months backwards and forwards with jamf support. Over why bootstrap tokens don't always get escrowed back to jamf pro during our enrollment process.My team off 3, have manual been through our 300 labs devices, to tidy up any machines that dont have a bootstrap token escrowed to Jamf. We did setup and extension attribute to try populate a smart group but this wasn't very reliable. It does seem this information isn't getting back to jamf during a inventory update.I'm still no closer in finding the root cause. As anyone else experienced this type of issue? I'm also after a script to create bootstrap token on the fly. As I'm moving onto sorting out our staff Devices next and don't want to recall them if I can help it.Thanks in advanceTom

So as we approach the inevitable coming of Self Service + we have noticed something that would be great to remove if possible to bypass some potential issues.In the Mac menu bar the Self Service + icon does not go away no matter what at the moment, and it also has a “Get software” option in the menu that does not apply to us. So I have the following questions:1: Is there a way to automatically hide or disable the icon from showing up?or2: Is there a way to customize what menu options the icon has so that it is more applicable to different use cases where optional software deployed through self service is not a thing? 

Hey folks! Dropping in for another quick Self Service+ post on how to: determine available URL schemes for a macOS app (in this example, Self Service+.app) how to map policy URLs from Jamf Pro to the new schema and have the actions load within Self Service+ The Self Service app has historically supported URL schemes to automatically run a policy or open the app directly to a description of a given policy. Within the Self Service settings of an app policy in Jamf Pro there are installation and description URLs provided. Those URLs tie into URL schemes for the Self Service app, and can be launched in scripts and by sharing them directly via link. For example, running the simple Terminal command open "jamfselfservice://content?entity=policy&id=392&action=view" one can launch Self Service classic and deep link right into a policy and view the description. Self Service+ also includes this functionality, though the URL schemes are not displayed in Jamf Pro for pol

Why we need to enable the Cloud Distribution Point for fresh. new instance manually when I am using the Pre-Stage for enrollment?

Our students are cheating on test using the Keyboard setting “Show math results”.  I created a ticket with Jamf but they told me the only way to fix this is to use Blueprints but we are not set up with SSO.  Is there  another way of fixing this issue.  Some very important state test are coming and our students are spreading the word on how to cheat.

Hi to all i've followed instruction on this link https://www.jamf.com/blog/help-users-activate-microsoft-office-365-and-configure-outlook-in-one-click/ to activate office 365 versione 16.94 on mac but office apps are not signed and when i open outlook the account has not be setted. In profile setting on the mac the parameter $email has been setted correctly with the email address settted on jamf inventory. There is something wrong? Thanks for your help

This has come to my attention recently. So basically, our users would change their password via jamf connect, it would go through and successfully change their azure ad password. Then once they login to the computer, it would give them a prompt, telling them to enter their old password for the local account to sync with the new azure ad account, we also have filevault enabled. This was all working fine, but recently when an end user changes their password via jamf connect. It gives an error message (I didn’t see it yet, have to wait until someone changes their PW again) and it will act like it doesn’t go through, but it actually does go through. It will not update their jamf connect expiration date (For example now, some users say their passwords will expire in -10 days) even though they changed their azure ad password. Now we have had users getting locked out of filevault because when they sign out or restart their computer and are on the filevault page, the local account password doe

Does anyone have issues when using JRA with the users that have multiple displays?During a session it will swap between displays automatically, even thought I have auto switch monitor turned off.
