We had a script that renamed the MACS (Building Name:Serial Number). Very simple but it no longer works.  Jamf Support hasn't been able to help me and I am stuck.  It has worked for years, and now has stopped working.

Hi All,While trying to setup SSO for our mac devices, we've discovered that this is a bit of a headache trying to work with Chrome unless the devices are enrolled in Intune (which we are not looking to do at the moment), so we are looking to switch our users over to Safari, as we have managed to get SSO up and running. Our issue is that some basics are missing, such as the home button - if this can be pushed out through a config file rather than getting every user to manually toggle it on this would save us a lot of hassle - and we would also like to set some general restrictions on things like; blocking installing extensions, block changing the default search engine etc (as these are student devices).If anyone could provide any pointers to configuring this it would be greatly appreciated! Cheers! 

Hi everyone, please, what is your best method to retrieve the uninstallation figures of a Mobile Device App in a dashboard, in order to monitor this ? 

Hi, I recently setup "Citrix Files" in our Self-Service to be available for users to install as needed to use with ShareFile. The installer runs correctly and installs everything, but Catalina blocks a system extention the app needs to run and only an admin can authenticate to allow it. How do I get around this? Thanks in advance.

Hello Jamf Nation! I am encountering a rather vexing issue with Forcepoint's Safari extension. The extension is prompting for users to enable it, however upon enabling the extension they are still prompted every few minutes that the extension is not enabled. Closing and reopening Safari causes the extension to once again show as disabled and continue to prompt the user to enable it. I've had mixed success with rebooting machines causing the extension to finally stay enabled however this has been incredibly inconsistent, sometimes requiring 2-3 reboots or sometimes not working at all. Has anyone else seen behavior like this with a Safari extension or have any pointers on where to even look with troubleshooting this? I admittedly don't have a very strong understanding of how extensions for Safari work and could use any and all advice! Thank you!

I have been able to successfully add dock items but I would like to remove several default items from student users docks.  Do I need to add them to the Dock Items and then delete them?  I don't see any information on how to remove default items like facetime, etc. I am new to jamf and have new macs to set up for our classroom labs.  Any help is appreciated. 

I updated 4 MacBook's and a Studio that where still running macOS 12 about 3 weeks ago, and JAMF still show them running the old OS how can i force the full scan of the systems

All,Have a question remotely accessing a macOS device that has FileVault 2 enabled via JSS. I have a few machines at one location that perform utility functions and were previously not encrypted with FV2. Once connected to the VPN I would access with ARD or Jamf Remote. With new compliance parameters these utility devices are now encrypted with FV2 via JSS Configuration profile. The issue that I'm running into is that when I have to reboot the device I can't log in remotely because the device has decrypt with the local user login. Once logged in I can access remotely but this becomes an issue because with any needed reboot. Looking for some suggestions or recommendations from anyone who may have run into a similar situation in their enviornment. Thanks in advance for any feedback. 

Has anyone figured out how to push bookmarks to Chrome on iOS from JAMF? I can add them to Safari without an issue but can't seem to add them to Chrome.

Is there a way to push bookmarks into certain browsers via JSS onto managed IPads?

Does anyone know anything about Jamf's plan to support the ACME feature introduced in macOS 13 (and to be enhanced in macOS 14)https://support.apple.com/en-us/guide/deployment/depb95c66a07/web

Best practice for devices that are lost/stolen?Is it possible to create a group policy and or group of computers that we can select all and send a wipe command/lock when it comes online? If so what's the best approach.Thank you! 

Hello,I am having trouble setting up device compliance in Jamf Pro. I followed the instructions found here: https://learn.jamf.com/bundle/jamf-pro-documentation-current/page/Device_Compliance.html but when I got to the part where I was redirected to the Microsoft Intune webpage, nothing happened. The Microsoft login window appears; I enter my email address and am then brought back to Jamf Pro with a "Registration Request" error and another warning below that states it is "Establishing connection" with directions to "Open consent URL." I click on the open consent URL, get to the Microsft login window, enter my Azure email address, and am then brought back to the Jamf Pro screen with these same two messages. I have Azure GA rights and have tried two different browsers (Safari and Edge) with no success. Has anyone else come across this issue? I figured that I'd try here before submitting a ticket with Jamf.  Here is the error and warning messages Registr

Hello,Our JAMF API integration has been working fine for a few years now, but suddenly its stopped workingI've done two things to try to make it work:1. Changed passwords to be 15 characters2. Enabled "Allow Basic authentication in addition to Bearer Token authentication" in settings > system > password policyBut still we are getting 401 unauthorized.Here's our codeSet creds = "%username%:%password%"Set base64 = base64 "%creds%"HTTPHEADER "Authorization", "Basic %base64%", "string"Set tokenjson = HTTPSEND "https://%domainname%/uapi/auth/tokens",  "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "" And we also tried to get a bearer token, with the same issuesSet creds = "%username%:%password%"Set base64 = base64 "%creds%"HTTPHEADER "Authorization", "Basic %base64%", "string"Set tokenjson = HTTPSEND "https://%domainname%/api/v1/auth/token", "application/json", "" As I said this was all working, so I don't think there's anything wrong with the code, any ideas ?

Hi all, I was curious if there is a way to deploy a unique wallpaper to each iPad in our organization showing their asset tag identifier using a payload variable? This is sort of what I'm looking to do, but my organization doesn't use Jamf School, we use Jamf Pro.  Thanks!  

Hello !First of all, please excuse me if the questions are found somewhere else, but I can't find clearly the informations needed. Please note that I'm not familiar with API.As the basic authentication will be soon removed, I already disabled it in Jamf Pro. I checked all my scripts and it seems that it's working fine. However, I have some questions:1) I read that classic API uses JSSResource as part of the URI. And I have this example to get the department of a computer. I would like to change that so I can use the api/v1 URI but I can't find the exact path. Actually, I get the department this way:department=$(curl -H "Accept: application/xml" --header "Authorization: Bearer ${token}" "${jssURL}JSSResource/computers/serialnumber/${macSerial}" | xmllint --xpath "string (//computer/location/department)" -)How should I change this ? And first of all, is it still possible to do this way ?2) I use keywords in the position and room fields of a computer's inventory. It allows me to put those

Hi Team, We are trying to package the MindManager software but when user is trying to install the package it prompts for the license key. We would like this go as a silent install. Would like to know if there is a way we can avoid the License prompt window. Thank you,Paul +1 813-617-2521

Hi, I'm trying to package MindManager v22 (14), but when I try to test it out, it prompts me to log into an email MindJet account first before entering the license key.

New User Interface and Faster Loading for the Devices Overview in Jamf School We are please to bring to Jamf School a new improved user interface to view devices and deliver bulk action commands. This new interface can be turned on in the Jamf School Management System by navigating to; Settings > Appearance and then ticking checkbox next to New User Interface. This will then change the “Overview” section under "Devices" to “Inventory”.  You can change back to the original interface at any time by unchecking the box.  This change doesn’t just offer a new look but improved speed when loading devices. For schools with large deployments, this means you can manage your Apple devices in an even faster and improved manner with quicker  loading and bulk commands. This will be the default interface from 1st August 2022 but we encourage our Jamf School customers to turn on this new view ahead of the roll out date. We welcome your feedback as you test this ne

With the old interface, you were guaranteed that every column would fit the viewport width to 100%.With the new one, if you add more columns, it forces you to scroll left and right to see everything.Not only that, but there is a maximum number of columns allowed.Why enforce a maximum number of columns if the screen is just going to force a horizontal scrollbar anyway? Seems rather arbitrary to me, the whole point of a maximum number of columns would be to stop the horizontal scrollbar from appearing.

The new user interface for devices remembers the filter and even the selected iPads even if the filter is changed.  I accidentally erased 20 devices inadvertently before I realized what I was doing.  The previous interface did not behave this way.  Could there be some sort of UI toggle that disables this functionality?  I'd hate to forget what I had selected and erase or do some other function before it's too late. After the fact I did see there is a warning that says: "After filter, some selected devices may not display in the table.  Your previously selected devices will still be scoped."  I'd rather this not be the case. I always want to see what my scope is.  At the very least I should be able to deselect items that are in scope.  At least in Jamf Pro I can clear the filter and sort by selected to unselect items.  

Hello,I need to rename the computers using the Full Name that is set in User and Location.I have a script that renames using the login user but the name I need is the Full Name in Jamf.Any idea how to retrieve the Full Name ?thanks for your help.

Hi all. I have been tasked with changing the background image on the login window to reflect new company branding. I am looking for confirmation to see if anyone has been able to successfully do this in Monterey, and if so, how as I believe it is a protected system file and is not possible with FileVault enabled.I started testing with this older article Setting Screensaver, Lock Screen, and FileVault screen to same image (Mojave) as well as several posts found on the Apple community boards with no success. I am hoping to avoid disabling FileVault on hundreds of machines simply to change an image.Any guidance you can provide would be appreciated.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to scope a configuration profile by network location?For example;  We have a configuration profile to bind to our Active directory and it fails when these devices can not reach the domain controller.    Not a great example as most of us are moving away from binding.Another example would be to allow Bonjour (mDNS) on a home network and disable it on the enterprise and public networks.     We have disabled Bonjour for a long time to reduce the visibility of our devices and their services, however when these devices go home disabling Bonjour may break features like finding shared disks, using screen sharing, and printing.

It's very glad to push the OS software updates with the recent software update feature through JAMF Pro.But it will be great to provide any tracking of these deployments, as once we push the software updates we couldn't track them and unknowingly deploying further deployments to the same target machines and it causes the issues with this feature.
