Hello my boss wants me to help setup auto drive enrollment for our devices in my org i never done anything like this before but i’ve been doing some research

and i am confused on the whole jamf connect, we have a prestage enrollment created when computers are added to the group that will put them through the auto deployment which has been giving us issues for a while now

my boss wants me to upload a jamf connect pkg file to the enrollment packages section on our prestage enrollment but i dont know how to do that

any help and advice on auto device enrollment within jamf would really help.

You can do it three different ways:

  • Mac Apps - there is an option to install JamfConnect. pkg via Jamf App Catalog this way is great, because it it based on a Smart Group and will update automatically.
  • Pre Stage Enrollments - Enrollment Packages - you can add the JamConnect.PKG here it will install during the enrollment process
  • Policies - Create a Jamf Connect Enrollment Policy and make the Trigger on Enrollment

i am literally having the same issue the jamf connect window will pop up during auto enrollment and will just give us a spinning cirlcle and nothing will happen i would have to shut down the computer and then it will work as normal it is not a smooth process at the moment we have a prestage and a policy setup but for the prestage my manager slacked me the jamf connect dmg he had setup i wonder if by him sending it over to me can cause some sort of hiccup versus he just uploading the package on his end

If you want to put it in the prestage, then go to settings>>packages and upload the PKG there.

Then go to Computers>>Prestages and create a new prestage (or open an existing one).

On the lefthand side, click on enrollment packages and then find and click on the “add” button beside the PKG you just uploaded.

Be sure to have your jamf connect configuration scoped in the prestage as well!
