I install the swift binary package of MacOS LAPS. and I create another policy (that run weekly) to reset the password    

Hi all,I am managing all of our company macs through Jamf however the pre-stage enrollment was previously set up by someone no longer in the company so I don't know what the password is for the local admin account. 1. Is there a way to view the already set passwordor2. If I change what is in the password boxes, will it then sync and change the password for the local accounts on the machines already enrolled?Thanks

Has anyone experienced an issue with any applications repeatedly getting uninstalled from their Mac? We have a user whose zoom keeps getting uninstalled repeatedly. 

Apple released macOS 14.1 today. On my Macs running Sonoma, this update is being deferred by our minor macOS update deferral profile. On Macs that have not yet been upgraded to Sonoma, macOS 14.1 is showing up in Software Update to install. Before today, Sonoma was being deferred. Why would 14.1 not be deferred? For a Mac running Ventura, any version of Sonoma should be considered to be a major macOS upgrade. Is there an adjustment that I need to make?

Hi there. In order to keep our extension attributes up-to-date, we have added a recon policy, to run once daily, with a script called as follows; #!/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/jamf recon exit 0 When I run this script locally on macs, the recon command updates the extension attributes correctly, populating the database with the expected results, but when it runs as a policy, all the results are cleared out leaving no information in the extension attribute fields. Can anyone help to shed light on this or advise how I can force an update to the extension attributes? Thanks

I'm trying to run a VERY simple script that mounts a folder based on user login - open "smb://server/staffhome$/$(whoami)"This works perfectly in terminal but when putting it as a process to execute on login it keeps on being unable to find the location?

Im getting ready to go-live with FV2 and PRKs this fall. Doing final testing and documentation now.I had a FV2 Mac ‘on-ice’ for a few weeks for testing. It was shut down and left alone on purpose to test a few things. When I booted it up, I noticed the PRK escrowed in Jamf did NOT match the PRK on the laptop (I am testing a Smart Group to report this, which was accurate). Questions about this observation:-Did the act of leaving the Mac dormant for a long time cause the PRKS to get out-of-sync?-Do escrowed PRKs automatically rotate over time?-Does the act of viewing the PRK in Jamf Pro cause the PRK to rotate?-If I would have let the Mac sit a while to run a recon, check for policies etc, would the escrowed PRK get set on the Mac eventually?

Heya folks. I had a previous post about Adobe CC with a lot of helpful feedback. I've gotten to a point where I was able to succesfully deploy and download applications via Mac Apps (Hooray!) but for individual Adobe products such as Photoshop and Illustrator, this was not working in that once installed the credentials I used to sign in was not recognized as being an Education account and I was granted only a trial.Whereas when I create a package via Adobe CC Admin portal, pick my apps and install, when I log into after an install this way, Adobe recognizes my credential. So, after setting up my distribution point with Jamf Cloud and creating a package with the .pkg from the latest package build in Adobe Admin, I pushed it down to Self-Service with a policy.I see Adobe CC in self-service and i go to install it and it takes about 8 to 10 minutes before it ultimately fails. When I go to the details in Jamf, all I get is...Installation failed. The installer reported: installer: Package na

Does anybody have a script that can be run on a network account, to automatically add it to the sudoers file? We have several developers that will need to work with some code and use some sudo commands, that we do not want to have Admin access I'm aware this is splitting hairs somewhat

Hi - Simple question here, I'm just wondering if I can enable the self-service desktop app for just a subset of our users. We just recently deployed JAMF and I didn't have this turned on at the time. I'd like to flip it on now, but I'd like to do some testing and get things in there, and communicate what the new icon is before it shows up on everyones computer. Can I deploy it via policy or profile? Because it looks like a global setting.. Thanks!

How do you all keep an inventory on your devices? What do you use as an asset tag in Jamf? I am looking for a better way to track our devices.

Is there a way to create an extension attribute in JAMF under the 'Users' section that can also be displayed in the 'Computer' section? Currently, if I create an extension attribute in the 'Computers' section to mark a machine as 'Remote,' it applies only to that specific Mac and not to the user. Is it possible to make this user-specific information visible in the 'Computer' section as well?

I recently received an alert that I had reached the "Valued Contributor II" rank in Jamf Nation. That's nice, but what are all of the ranks and how does one reach them? I don't think I've ever seen anything introducing us to these ranks. I'm always happy to contribute to the discussion and help others as much as I can.

We just had a round of passwords expire and now some of our users use their old AD password to get past the FV2 login screen, then use their newly reset AD password to get into the OS. How do we get the passwords to sync back up? I saw the apple solution to use a sudo touch command to delete the cache and let it rebuild, but that has not worked for us yet. Any other tips or trick on getting them back in sync?

We have several macbooks (Monterey and Ventura) that cannot boot anymore and are asking for a recovery key. After filling in the key an reinstallation doesn't work (error), only a complete format and reinstall solves the issue. Some users are able to get to the login screen after entering the recovery key at boot but then the macbook reboots back into the recovery mode. We tried safemode, logging mode etc. All the options that we could find couldn't prevent a complete wipe of the disk and reinstallation. We suspect this has something to do with a patch policy with an Safari 17 update but we are not sure.
