Hi all, I want to create a series of Smart Groups for the purposes of testing new software releases.  I'm looking for about 3-4 groups. I'd like the groups to be made up of machines that don't all have a core attribute in common (such as OS version, model or processor type) - so a 'random' assortment if you will. Any ideas how I can go about creating a 'random' assortment of machines? - I tried using 'matches regex' to filter out serial-numbers with '1' in etc but didn't have much luck.  I could separate into static groups easy enough, but was hoping the dynamic nature of smart groups would save me having to go back and update them as machines come in and out of our environment.  Thanks for your time!  Steve.  

Hey everyone, I wanted to know what could be happening when a computer is getting turned on for the first time and it goes through prestage enrollment, and the login screen always comes up grey with the sign in at the bottom.   We use Jamf Connect and with Jamf Connect 2.42 and 2.43 we have been getting a grey login screen,   Jamf Connect 2.41 works fine but I am not sure why we are getting a grey login screen on the other JC versions.

Hi everyone, just exploring this and i just need to confirm a few things , if anyone knows that would be a massive help. I will get my hands on a device soon but i need to hit the ground running.   So for vision OS 2 we do not need managed apple IDs anymore and it will work fine without for a prestage enrollment? Will i be able to hide bits and pieces from the set-up assistant? Lets say i don't want users to login to their personal apple IDs. The Prestage does not make any mentions of visionOS Can this be set-up as a shared device or is it not supported for VisionPro? Will enrollment customisation work ? Will i need any custom configuration profiles or will they just work from : Mobile Devices -> Configuration Profiles. I cant see what applies to visionOS only. Do i need Jamf Trust and Jamf Security cloud to keep these devices secure? I mean what is the best practice in terms of AV/EDR?  Those who have implemented it, what has your experience been? Thanks

Does anyone have any experience with the Jamf Pro API and logging the movement of app licenses?   My organization deals a lot with mobile device apps, and we are trying to find a solution to track the daily movement of licenses when they are checked in or out so we can cost them properly. The daily transactions are high, and we have a lot of apps. It's too much for one person to track so we need a robot.  

Hi Chaps, Trying to create a DMG file to deploy that will install a safari shortcut to everyones desktop. Or possibly in the Applications folder, when I open composer and drag the Icon from my desktop in, it creates the folder Users>Simon>Desktop>GreyConnect.webloc Obviously not everyone will have a "Simon" user folder and I want it to go to theres, is there something like $username or something that will work and edit the folder named Simon? Thanks

Hello. I can get these commands and scripts to work just fine when running them locally on my Mac, but they seem to fail when getting pushed from Jamf.Scripts.1:  #!/bin/sh defaults write NSGlobalDomain "AppleShowAllExtensions" -int "1" && killall Finder 2: #!/bin/sh defaults write NSGlobalDomain "AppleShowAllExtensions" YES && killall Finder Both work fine, surprisingly. Whether I run the scripts from Terminal, or I run the commands themselves directly from Terminal, it works both ways. But if I run either of the two scripts via a policy through Jamf, it doesn't work. The script runs and I see Finder quit/restart, but the setting for 'Show all filename extensions' does not change.I was going to try a Configuration Profile instead, but cannot figure that out. I had started something like this:Preference Domain: com.apple.finder <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://

I'm trying to get Jamf Protect offline client/policy talking from Mac to SIEM. It appears that protectctl is only useful with the full cloud product, or else my clients are broken. If protectctl needs cloud version, why is it installed on my Macs? And how do you debug without it. The files in the db folder are totally opaque for debugging. It appears that protectctl diagnose is also useless without cloud. Ideas?

Hello everyone, I would like to implement Installomator to manage the installation and updates of the applications I use, in order to streamline the process and avoid the repetitive task of manually searching for each package for every application. I watched the Patch That App Up (By Using Installomator) session presented at JNUC 2023. In the video, it is recommended to create a smart group based on the "Patch Reporting" criterion to identify devices running a version older than the latest available. Additionally, it is advised to create a second group containing the members of the first one, as Jamf does not allow targeting a group directly based on the "latest version" criterion. Is this still the best method today? Do you have alternative approaches to suggest?

Hello everyone, I'm looking for advice on how to integrate SwiftDialog with Installomator. When I update an application, it closes automatically without notifying the user, which can lead to the loss of their current work. Should I configure specific parameters when adding the script to the rule ? Modify the Installomator script directly ? Or use SwiftDialog to notify the user beforehand ? Thank you in advance for your help!

Getting back to testing OneDrive since we're moving to it this year. For the most part it looks like it's working, but one issue I'm having is, when launching OneDrive, it's not populating the email address on the first step. The below is what we have setup. We're trying to match with Windows settings are going to be, but it looks like some settings are available on the Mac side like, Continue syncing on metered networks Continue syncing when devices have battery saver mode turned on <dict> <key>DisablePersonalSync</key> <true/> <key>DisableTutorial</key> <true/> <key>DefaultFolder</key> <dict> <key>Path</key> <string>~/OneDrive - CompanyName</string> <key>TenantID</key> <string>ourtenantID</string> </dict> <key>AutomaticUploadBandwidthPercentage</key> <integer>30</integer> <key>Fil

Hey there,   I was wondering if there is an easy way to remove user-added web clips from the home screen, or preventing them from being added in the first place. I see that someone had asked this question a few years ago but there was no accepted solution from what I could tell.   At my district we have 1:1 iPads in K-2 and it helps to have the layout configured so that our managed apps and web clips are where our teachers/student expect them to be. Sometimes a web clip will get added by a student/teacher and the teacher will want it removed, but they lack the permissions to edit the layout themselves. Jamf school does not have any way to view/remove user-added web clips to my knowledge.   Is disabling the profile with the managed layout or wiping the device the only ways to circumvent this?   Thank you! Ben

I haven't seen any documentation so I'm not sure if this is possible but I'd like to show days until password expiration on Jamf Connect Menu Bar. Does anyone have any info on how to do this if it is possible?

I am setting up Zscaler for my Org and this requires adding several processes to the MacOS native firewall. We are hoping to use Jamf for this however we seem to be limited by Zscaler not knowing the bundle ID of their products as well as the format not meshing well with the Jamf Firewall allowlist. Has anyone configured this in the past?I'm looking to allow the following: (from https://help.zscaler.com/client-connector/zscaler-client-connector-processes-allowlist)Zscaler: InboundZscaler: OutboundZscalerService: InboundZscalerService: OutboundZscalerTunnel: InboundZscalerTunnel: OutboundZscalerUpdater: OutboundUPMServiceController: InboundUPMServiceController: Outbound/Applications/Zscaler/.Updater/autoupdate-osx.app/Contents/MacOS/ZscalerUpdater: Inbound/Applications/Zscaler/.Updater/autoupdate-osx.app/Contents/MacOS/ZscalerUpdater: Outbound/Library/Application Support/Zscaler/ZDP/bin/zdpd: Outbound/Library/Application Support/Zscaler/ZDP: Inbound/Library/Application Support/Zsca

Hello Community, I am trying to install wazuh agents in our organisation's computers in an effective way, and i wanted to use jamf pro for this. Any one have an idea on how to do this? or any alternative way?

I've setup the "Device Compliance" in Jamf as well as the "Partners Compliance Management" in Entra ID successfully and syncs daily with Jamf. However, it appears that after a macOS device has registered in Entra ID, a day later it's no longer compliant and "MDM" is no longer reporting as "Microsoft Intune" but as "N/A".  In Intune, all macOS devices are also not reporting any compliance status. Any suggestions?   

Is anyone currently using Platform SSO, specifically with Microsoft as the IdP? I’m impressed with its capabilities so far, but I’m not entirely confident about deploying it just yet, as it still feels like an early-stage product. Initial testing has been positive—Kerberos tickets authenticate to all resources seamlessly, and much of what we rely on Jamf Connect and NoMAD for is covered. One issue I’ve noticed, though, is that Microsoft Teams prompts users to reauthenticate almost daily when using SSO—something that doesn’t occur without it. Has anyone else run into this Teams reauthentication issue, or have feedback on the overall stability of Platform SSO?

Hello,in our school, students can no longer create an Apple icloud.com account.I tested, with the latest update, without restriction, on two different networks, by changing the date of birth but during the configuration, I always have the same error message "unable to create the account at the moment".Do you have a solution?Do we have to use managed identifiers? Thnks for your help

We've trialled Platform SSO fairly successfully, I'd like to use this more broadly but have a user-friendly workflow which follows enrolment.Using Prestage enrolment with SSO for account creation, only to then follow a separate process with company portal to register the mac in Intune and complete the user integration seems a bit odd, to a degree a duplicate step.  Has anyone developed a smooth workflow with platform sso integration and PSE?

Good morning, I'm looking for help on updating or new fleet of Apple Silicon MacBooks. We wrote a script that worked perfectly with our old intel MacBooks, but with the new Silicon MacBooks the scripts get stuck waiting for admin user or an user with secure token to input their credentials. I found that Jamf "Software Update" does not work well for our MacBooks in our environment. I found two scripts that works well with the new Silicon devices, but we still run into the issues with enduser having to type in their information.  The scripts I used were S.U.P.E.R and Erase-Install I'm looking for a workflow like this if anyone has one. Prompts the user there is an Update Allow the User to defer if time is not right, but forces them after they reach their limit Checks to make sure MacBook is connected to charger Performs the update without needing users credentials  Thank you guys in advance for any help or suggestions

Hey Community,  I am facing an issue and need to identify the solution for that. I have couple of enrollment customizations which are working fine with PreStage enrollment. But I wan enrollment customization for user initiated enrollment. For example, I want to guide the users how to install the MDM profile once downloaded.  But I can see enrollment customization works only with PreStage Enrollment. Any ways to achieve this for user inititated enrollment? Thanks in advance. 

Hi all,So we are using the MakeMeAnAdmin script for almost 3 years without a hitch.Now we are having the first macoS 12.3.1 devices and the MakeMeAnAdmin script does not work anymore. On older macOS versions everything works fine.Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Hello!We are using JAMF School, and I wanted to update the logo in DEP. Unfortunately, every time I try to change it in the settings under "Appearance," I receive an error with the following message:"An error occurred while saving - The following error occurred: Our development team is notified about this problem. Problem identification:" The size and format are correct, and the file is quite small. Are there any specific rules?  

Hello,I've been testing how to recover a device in the case an employee logged into their iCloud account with their personal credentials on a supervised machine. I was able to successfully boot into recovery mode, erase the machine then after rebooting again use the MDM recovery key in JAMF to regain control over the machine. However, I tried another scenario where I used the personal iCloud account to remotely lock the machine. I was not able to find a procedure to recover the machine in that case.Is there a process for this, or is there a way to disable remote lock via iCloud in Jamf Now?
