I've been testing Jamf Connect with a custom background on everything from an 11-inch MacBook Air to a 27-inch iMac, and one thing I've noticed is that the image isn't scaling correctly on all screen sizes.  Significant chunks are being cut off on laptops, which is making it effectively impossible for me to find a background that works and doesn't chop our branding in half.  I couldn't find anyone else reporting this, but it seems like this has to be a bug.Is this bad scaling expected behavior?  If so, what is the work around the community recommends?Alternatively, is there some undocumented setting for the Jamf Connect login window that sets the background to fit the screen?

Hi there, So Im trying to create some python script to put computer into a static group through API, but somehow i cant get this working . I tried to use requests lib, with no luck. Does anyone one got some ideas how to do it?

Dear nation,i would like to use some apps from the Jamf App Catalog e.g. 1Password 8. But i have to scope it in this format:Target > All ComputersLimitations > LDAP User Group named e.g. gpm_xy_1passwordIs there any smart way to do this? I cannot use 1Password 7 which is offered as an Mac App Store application.Thanks.

I am having issues customizing the sign in window with Jamf Connect 2.0. My company actually has a light and a dark logo to work with, but I cannot find a way or key for Jamf Connect to offer a light and dark image options. So choosing one specific image for both is where I am stuck now. However the light logo in light mode or dark logo in dark mode both look horrible. I see the Jamf Connect default logo though changes color. So wondering if there is a way to achieve this?

Hi Team,wanted to check if there is any way to create a dashboard in Jamf Pro which shows all apps installed in a user machine and status of apps (like running/not running/last opened/modified)Regards,Yaswanth

Hi everyone,I have a Jamf School issue I can't fix or find anything online about. This is a shot in the dark.In the summer of 2018 an IT employee no longer with our company set up and deployed Jamf School to our iPads. His account appears to have more access than myself and my colleague, who are both System Administrators. His account is called Full Access and the description says "This role is automatically generated by migrating administrator acl levels into roles"Today I tried to get access to this account via the "forgot password" old company email for the former employee. Jamf says the reset email has been sent, however it never arrives to his email account. I tested the email and checked all filters/rules etc.We are not in the USA so do not have any Jamf support. Any ideas would be awesome!

Hi.Has anyone experienced the battery drain problem after updating to Ventura and  found a fix that works for them ?I'm seeing massive battery drain on multiple macs since the Ventura update.I have read lots of forums that offer various solutions.I have tried lots of them and none have helped.Thanks.

HI there, Does anyone know of a command to remove an icon from the macOS dock? We use Google Chrome as our default browser which also works without issue if you try to sign into a Google federated managed Apple ID during Apple ID / iCloud login.

Hi there, I'm currently seeing behaviour from jamf scoping with exclusions.We have 1 configuration that applies based on "All manage devices" excluding "Devices on macOS Ventura without Sophos Monterey Config Installed".The problem is, it looks like when enrolling the device, if scope criteria is checked for "All managed devices" before "Devices on macOS Ventura without Sophos Monterey Config Installed" criteria then it will install on that Ventura device anyway as if the device is actually not part of "Devices on macOS Ventura without Sophos Monterey Config Installed" scope exclusion. I cant think of a way around this except to somehow get the criteria checked for "Devices on macOS Ventura without Sophos Monterey Config Installed" first.  Most likely what's happening is that jamf has to perform a task to verify if the criteria of the config profile existing is met but the device is already part of all managed devices and not part of the exclusion YET until that tas

Hi There, I'm not super familiar with JAMF capabilities but am wondering if something is possible. Is there currently a method of being able to prevent apps from prompting for updates that would require administrator credentials? Or is there a way of giving users rights only to update their apps?We are hearing that whenever a developer pushes out an update to some apps, our users are unable to use the product until the app is updated. I know this may be app-specific, but is there a way to do this on a broader scale? I've seen there is a way to defer updates of software/apps, but I don't know how well that works and if it works on every app. Any feedback would be appreciated!

Hello I'm really struggling to get our Macs authenticating to our Wireless Network using Certificate based authentication. I've followed a few help guides but none of them seem to work, has anyone managed to get this working. Below is a copy of our Configuration profile

Need a sanity check, I wanted to manage the DNS settings for a given network adapter and the "DNS Settings" payload really seems like it should work. Does it actually only support encrypted DNS?Thanks, Matt

My organization is looking to automate devices going into lost mode after a defined frequency of not checking into JAMF.  In review, we have a process that we can execute this process in bulk but still requires manual intervention.  Does anyone know of a way to automate this process?  It would be ideal!  Thank you for any insight!

Hey guys,this might be a easy question for some of you guys, but im pretty new to Jamf.How do I check the JamfConnect Version that i am currently using? If I go to JamfID it only shows methe new JamfConnect version that I can download but not the version that I am currently using or is it updating automatically. Thanks for your help.

Hi there!I was asked if there is a way to lock down an iPad setting under Settings --> General --> other languages so that a student can NOT select and change the language on his/her iPad.  Once the student adds a language, he/she can go to any website and select the AA in the URL bar, and from that menu, toggle back and forth between as many languages as they add. Our Middle School Students are causing a ruckus with this. From what I can see, it's not something we can do, but I know if anyone knows it's someone here!   

Hi folks. Tried searching but couldn't find a solution (if any) to running a policy after the first setup screen is finished? We've found that some users get their laptops early, go through setup, hit enrollment and leave their computer only to finish that setup later in the day or the next day. We have a few policies that run after enrollment but require a logged in user to be present (some people haven't even created the user in the setup screen yet).  Hope that made sense! Thanks all :D

Hello,Is there possible way to change AD password after expiration on no-bind (SSO extension), external VPN client Mac device?

Hi AllWe currently have the wrong power setting in our labs. I want the machines to always be on which I think I have working with a config profile.However our machines are set lock at 20 minutes. This now doesn't happen as the machine never sleeps.Can two exist together.Any thoughts welcome.      

HI,I have two small Windows applications to run on Intel iMacs. Therefore I tried WINE on a Mac. And it works.  Can somebody provide me help to deploy WINE on these iMacs and deploy Apps for WINE.thank youMathias

Hello Jamf NationI have a query.Client has deployed  ISE certificate’s on Mac systems at all his global locations from jamf pro and he wants to know If these certificates will expire then how he can renew those certificate without any manual intervention as well as re-deploy through configuration profile on systems. How he can do that from Jamf in order to renew the existing deployed certificate’s. 

Hey all, we have had an issue where about 653 of our laptops didnt renew their MDM profile when it was expiring.I'm now in process of re-enrolling them with the profiles renew -type enrollment command, however it prompts the end user to go a click install on their computer to complete the process.  Since we had them approve the ability for applescript to do keystrokes and mouse clicks perviously, I am thinking I could script the click of the update button in notification center when it pops up. I'm struggling to determine the UI element that is showing this button though.  Does anyone have any clues to processing the click of the update button seen here?  I always respect @mm2270 and their work, wondering if you have any idea if I can make it click this update button.

Hello everybody,i habe a strange problem: Since a few days apps disappearing randomly. They are not removed, because everytime i save (saving is enough) a profile of this device group the apps appear again. But not much later the next user complains about the same problem.I cannot say if it are always the same apps, but often the jamf apps "teacher" and "classroom disappears and also "Goodnotes". Did someone had this issue before and knows a solution?Thank you!Marius

We have Jamf Pro on-prem and are just rolling out Jamf Teacher. Our teachers only have 5 options within Jamf teacher (Clear Restrictions, Start Lesson, Restrictions, Applock and Weblock) and I'm wondering if we've missed a setting or the other Jamf Teacher features I've heard about are only available through Jamf Schools or maybe Jamf Pro cloud. Has anyone come accross documentation about what Jamf Teacher features are available with Jamf Pro on-prem?

Hey Nation :-)So here's a challenge for the scripting guru's...I'm trying to write an EA for getting the Design Capacity for a built-in Intel MacBook Pro battery.So far I have this script:/usr/sbin/ioreg -r -c "AppleSmartBattery" | /usr/bin/grep -w "DesignCapacity" | /usr/bin/awk '{print $3}'But this yields me waaaaaay too much info and the required awk value is on it's own new line right at the bottom.The body of the result output does contain the "DesignCapacity" value mixed in among hundreds of other values!So my challenge is... how do I get rid of all that extra value output to just have the final line output?eg:me@MacBookPro ~ % /usr/sbin/ioreg -r -c "AppleSmartBattery" | /usr/bin/grep -w "DesignCapacity" | /usr/bin/awk '{print $3}'gives this result:                {"PMUConfigured"=0,"FccComp2"=5050,"ResScale"=133,"SystemPower"=1051098690,"Qmax"=(5496,5497,5510),"DesignCapacity"=5103,"CellVoltage"=(4169,4169,4169),"PassedCharge"=26,"RaT
