Hi, I use the Layout payload from our Jamf School MDM to organize the Apps on our students Shared iPads.That works BUT when I add a Web Clip in the Layout section this Web Clip is not shown nor any other reorganizing of the Apps. To me it seems Jamf School 9.2.7 has a problem with more than one payload in a profile. Can anybody confirm that? In a Jamf Pro installation I administer, too, more than one payload in a configuration profile works.

I'm trying to use an extension attribute to tell if a program is installed by looking at a few folders to see if the folder/files exist. It's reporting if it's Not Installed, but it's not telling me if it's installed. Am i doing something wrong? #!/bin/bash #xclient is a unix executable if [ ! -f /usr/local/bin/xClient ]; then echo "<result>Not Installed</result>" #xmetering is a unix executable if [ ! -f /usr/local/bin/xMetering ]; then echo "<result>Not Installed</result>" #snowclient.conf is a config file if [ ! -f /etc/snowclient.conf ];then echo "<result>Not Installed</result>" #Snow software is a directory if [ ! -d /Library/Application Support/Snow Software ]; then echo "<result>Not Installed</result>" else echo "<result>Installed</result&gt

Hello,I want to shut down a group of mac minis at 9 PM using a cronjob. I have this written, but not useful. Would anyone have any advice on how to implement a script for this?command being used:Sudo crontab -ii* 21 * * * /sbin/shutdown -h nowEsc:wq 

I'm going nuts with this. In 2020 I created desktop shortcuts for my Apple computer fleet just fine, and now I'm trying to create a new one and can't figure out how I did this. I've read, and re-read, this post from which I learned initially how to do this a couple years ago. Today, when I open Composer and drag the desktop webloc file in the sidebar, it creates the entry, but doesn't show the item under Desktop (it should show right under Desktop, like the picture in this post): I have confirmed that Composer has full disk access. I have tested on a Mac with macOS 12.1 and another with macOS 12.4.macOS account has admin rights.I have tried with chown/chmod/chgflags terminal commands from the original post, and without.Current file info:I'm stumped. I even tried an older Jamf Tools version, didn't make a difference. Any ideas? I know that some of you use scripts for desktop shortcuts but I really wanted to use this method.

Hello all! Im trying to figure out a script to track down the version of Adobe RUM on our Macs to determine if they need to be upgraded. I think the current version is 2.4.0.3. Any idea's? Since it's a Unix Executable its been problematic. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi,The extension I'm having issue with is the IP Geo Locator - I tried it as a script and don't get anything except the comma, failing that I tested it line by line and get a 404 error from the freegeoip.appspot.com Do I need to do something special to make this work? https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/third-party-products/files/332/ip-geo-location Thanks!

I need to copy a preconfigured *.app from a Windows share over to the /System/Application folder on a Mac.Unfortunately, I've been beating my head against how to do this and haven't come up with much.I'm really hoping that someone who knows more than I do would know if there's anyway to load that *.app into Jamf and it push it down to a Mac?Otherwise I can probably script it, but since it's Windows it's not exactly as easy as an scp command to copy from "//{fileserver}/MAC INSTALLS/PcounterClient.app" over to "/System/Application".Any suggestions would be highly welcomed!

Hey there! If your users run into this issue https://kb.tableau.com/articles/issue/error-ora-21561-oid-generation-failed-connecting-to-oracle-from-mac"Error "ORA-21561: OID generation failed" Connecting to Oracle with a Mac"Tableau has a solution, edit the hosts file to include local computer name by adding the computer name to the end of the 127.0.0.1 lineWhich is wonderful! and helped us out. But we did not want users to have to edit this manually. So we made a script and deployed it to Tableau users via self service.  This script will add the entry, or remove it if the entry is already there. It uses jamf helper to show the user a nice notification window    #!/bin/bash # Developed by bizzaredm - 2020 # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # SYSTEM VARIABLES # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # jamfHelper="/Library/Applicat

My institution is moving to named licenses for Adobe, so I am trying to figure out an easy way to package the Adobe CC Desktop installer, and install it on Macs campus-wide. Does anyone have any advice, or know of a way to do this? I've tried to package through composer and then push it via policy, but it never installs the app.Thanks!

Is it possible to create a WebLink in Jamf Pro and then to push that out to the desktop on all MacBooks?

Hi All,I'm trying to work through an issue I'm having binding in Jamf Pro.  The issue is specifically, the directory option "Allow Administration by" is not working.  This option allows AD groups like "Domain admins" to be automatically local administrators on the MacBook.The strange thing is if I use that same AD admin account and unbind/rebind manually, the "Allow Administration by" option works.Here's what we are doing.1. I created a Configuration profile in the Jamf Pro Console for AD binding2. I created a Prestage enrollment profile selected the AD binding Config. profile3. At enrollment, I can see the AD bind Configuration profile runs.4. once the computer is enrolled, I can log in via my AD admin login, but it does not have administrative rights on the computer. here's some more points of data:1. I ran the command dsconfigad -show.  Verified the "Allowed Admin groups" in the Advanced Options section included all the AD groups.  In our case it's domain ad

I've got a Macbook joined to AD that won't let the user update the OS. The user account is an Admin/mobile account because it's joined to AD and our other MB's don't have this problem, and allow users to kick off the update.  While I could push the update, I'd like to know why this isn't working for this one account and address it before it becomes an issue elsewhere.

I need some advice here but may be impossible...We've been using JAMF as a company for some time to manage Macs but today we had our first request for an iPad.So, I built out a prestage enrolment for iOS devices and asked my colleague to order the iPad through our apple ecommerce page that's linked to our ABM. HOWEVER, they accidently ordered through the standard Apple store.So, my question is... is there a way that I can now add this device to our ABM before it arrives so that I can see how the Prestage enrolment will behave??Thanks :)

We have MacBook Pros that are always on adapter power that have to process large amounts of data. We are finding that the graphics card keeps switching and need to be able to run a profile or policy that will disable the Automatic graphics switching without having to tell users to manually change it themselves. After much digging, we found that the following command would work. We created a policy and added the line to the Files and Processes module. pmset -a gpuswitch 1

I've done lot's of searching, but cannot seem to find any information on this.We are planning to upgrade our backend database from MySQL 5.7 to 8.0.The database is currently using the utf8 character set, which has been deprecated in favor of utf8mb4 in MySQL 8.0.Most other applications now support utf8mb4, does Jamf?  We would like to update the character set as part of the database upgrade. 

Leverage Jamf Pro Script Parameters to automate a multi-Sub-Estate installation of Sophos EndpointBackgroundDuring our monthly Sophos vendor meeting last week, we learned about updated documentation for Installing Endpoint Protection on Macs.The most intriguing information was the addition of a vendor-signed Configuration Profile to ease the sometimes confusing requirements for macOS Big Sur 11 and later.Continue reading …

Hello Everyone,We enable file vault on user's Macs, and some of them may use Mac by remote method.When they try to restart the computer, they won't be able to unlock file vault in person.So we write a script to help them restart their Mac and bypass file vault.But we have to ensure that they restart the Mac by using the policy in self service we made.Is there a way to pop up a menu or something when user click restart, to remind them doing this by self service item.Or even directly run the script when user click restart?Thanks!

Hi Gang,  am I doing something wrong? I am trying to control a specific preference for Wacom Desktop Center.  The preference is located as seen in the attached photo. Not in User Library>Preferences, but in User Library>Group Containers> EG27766DY7.com.wacom.WacomTabletDriver>Library>Preferences. I set up a configuration profile in Jamf Pro that looks like the attached 2nd photo, but it is not being enforced. I suspect that this is because the .plist file is not in User Library>Preferences, but within the file path above, but I am not sure how to tweak the configuration file, or if it is something that is just not possible. Any help?   

I am migrating iPads from JAMF to INTUNE.  One particular device is not showing up in JAMF yet it is showing managed by JAMF on the device.If I change the device MDM to INTUNE in ASM, will it allow me to erase and reset accordingly?  OR do I need to release from organisation and add again to ASM?Thanks.Peter.  

I'm creating a user from script and it works fine. You can unlock the padlock using the account, you can switch to the account in terminal and run things BUT the account will not log in!!!When logging in as the account it just hangs?!#!/bin/bash sudo dscl . -create /Users/testuser sudo dscl . -create /Users/testuser UserShell /bin/bash sudo dscl . -create /Users/testuser RealName testuser2 sudo dscl . -create /Users/testuser UniqueID 1050 sudo dscl . -create /Users/testuser PrimaryGroupID 1000 sudo dscl . -create /Users/testuser NFSHomeDirectory /Local/Users/testuser sudo dscl . -passwd /Users/testuser qwerty12345 sudo dscl . -append /Groups/admin GroupMembership testuserThis is the script its pretty straight forward!Does anyone know if the account needs to be added to the apple setup assistant or something else!?!?

My school has been using jamf School for around 1-2 years and in that time I was able to find some interesting bugs and exploits that can be used to for Example: delete browser history, change some settings bypass the search filter Etc.And this is why i wanted to ask if there is a way to report bugs and exploits directly to jamf.

We can create device groups and assign app licenses on a per-device basis but is it possible to do that on a per-user basis?  I'm not seeing that as an option.  I know that is something that can be done in Jamf Pro but if there's a way to do it in Jamf School, I'm not finding it. Thank you!

We are currently using the script above to delete unwanted files created by students in our institution.
