We are current running Version 9.101.4.
We are getting close to rolling out Jamf to our faculty and staff desktops that are already in the field. I would like to send an enrollment invitation out to specific users, and have them enroll their desktop with the email link. In many cases I will not know what Building, Department, Room, they are in.
I would like to create a Smart Group to be used as the Scope for the Self Service Policies for this subset of desktops that:
• are already in the field
• have never been managed before
• would only have the user's email address as the identifier
My goal is:
• Send email invitation to user for enrollment into Jamf.
• Have user enroll their desktop with the Quick Add package that is downloaded
• Have the desktop enroll in a Smart Group that would be used as the Scope for my Self Service Policies.
• On the initial launch of Self Service all of the Scoped Policies would be presented.
The only enrollment criteria I see that comes close to this is 'Enrollment Method: PreStage enrollment'. Many of these desktops will not be available via DEP because of their age and how they were purchased, so that won't work for me. I did notice that the criteria I am looking for is available for Mobile Devices, but not Desktops.
I tried with a Criteria of 'Applications Title' is not 'Self Service.app, (since Self Service would not be installed at this point) which worked great until an Inventory Check was done and the desktop was removed from the Smart Group. That resulted in all of my Self Service policies to be removed.
How can this be accomplished? Can I create a customzied QuickAdd Package that would be pushed via the enrollment email invitation that would put these desktops into a specific Smart Group? Is there a simpler way? Is my approach for this completely off base?
