+3Hi, I am trying to create the Nexthink package in jamf pro need to deploy 200+ MacBooks and am unable to create the yet not found any steps related to this. I got only a profile from the Nexthink site
can anyone guide or share the step for Nexthink collector deployment?
Thanks
+5You need to use Composer to create the package.
Looking at the script it doesn't look like there's a need to cd to the Nexthink directory but it's working so I'm not going to change it :)
Postinstall
#!/bin/bash
cd /private/tmp/Nexthink
hdiutil mount /private/tmp/Nexthink/Nexthink_Collector_22.6.2.10_10.15-12.dmg -nobrowse
sudo /Volumes/Nexthink_Collector_22.6.2.10\\ OSX\\ 10.15\\ -\\ 12/csi.app/Contents/MacOS/csi -address [your engine].us.nexthink.cloud -tcp_port 443 -key /private/tmp/Nexthink/customer_key.txt -engage enable -data_over_tcp enable -use_assignment enable -ra_execution_policy signed_trusted_or_nexthink
hdiutil detach /Volumes/Nexthink_Collector_22.6.2.10\\ OSX\\ 10.15\\ -\\ 12/ -force
#Cleaning up
rm -rf /private/tmp/Nexthink/

If I copy the .dmg file under /tmp file and drag into my composer then it doesnt show me the entire path that .dmg is under /tmp. And after clicking on convert to source taking some time and opening all four files under .dmg, if I close that window and build as .pkg and manually run on my mac, it is saying incompatible on this device, any idea?
+13I followed the steps above and just changed the Nexthink version to the one I'm installing, but it doesn't install. I see the folder show up in the tmp directory, it then mounts the dmg, the tmp folder goes away, but it doesn't install.

Is your path to csi.app correct? I think this would be the most likely place for an error.
You can try running the individual pieces of the script in terminal using sudo to see what the issue is.

Looks like my path was a little different and I also had an extra space. It looks like it's installed. Is the nexthink service nxtsvc supposed to show up under Full Disk Access when you upload the mobileconfig?

Full disk access permissions don't show up in the macOS GUI when they're enabled via config profile. This is my experience anyway.
+13Sounds good. Has anybody created config profiles for the browser extensions? The steps online are pretty vague. I went to the below site and tried doing a copy and paste, but Jamf doesn't like the format of it.

I don't use them this but should probably work (Chrome as an example):

Confirmed working. Thanks!

I am trying similar steps to install Nexthink 24.9.2.3 via JAMF. No errors found, but I couldn't find nexthink folder under /library/application support post installation. If manually install Nexthink using dmg , I am able to see nexthink folder under application support. Any suggestions?
