When using Erase Device in Jamf School and using the Return to Service option, all goes well except the device is remembering its former user, which is not the behavior we want.

We want it to be unassigned. 

I can’t figure out what setting I’m missing and have tried many combinations, but attached is the current enrollment settings for our School instance. There could be other settings somewhere else I’m hoping someone can point out to me!

I’ve fixated on playing with two settings on under Enrollment with no change.

  1. We’ve always had the Assigned Owner option unchecked, which seems like the obvious culprit but since we haven’t had it checked is baffling.
  2. I’ve playing with the Location setting as something to try even though I wouldn’t think it would affect this. Our default was Do not change user’s or device’s location during enrollment.

Please point out my obvious omission if you know!

 

 

I showed up here with the answer for Jamf Pro….

….Just to realize that it’s Jamf School. 😒

 I REALLY need a Jamf School tenant to p2p user assist.  Jamf folks, you listening?  LOL


Thanks we are most the way to conversion to Jamf School from Jamf Pro here this school year. So I have experience with the Jamf Pro version as well. I love that Jamf School there was essentially no setup to get Return to Service working in general but that makes troubleshooting this tricky - but it could just be i’m unfamiliar as I don’t have the same “muscle memory” built up for Jamf School yet.


Yea I want to know all things JAMF so I can better help people.  Unfortunately my org won’t purchase jamf protect (incoming SKU soon though! lol) and Jamf School is just an “extra” MDM that we won’t purchase.

Hopefully someone else can chime in with a bit of support.

Another striving for polymath status like me!  Greetings Program!
