We are trying to find a way to disable Bluetooth File Sharing and prevent re-activation by clients. I've successfully disabled it several different ways via scripts but the issue is preventing the re-enabling by the clients. User Level MCX or Configuration Profiles will disable it at login but then the client is able to re-enable it again until they logout or restart; same goes for running the scripts as part of a policy at login. I could run a policy on the every15 but that still leaves security holes and is a less than ideal approach. The Sharing pane in System Preferences doesn't require Admin rights to access and as far as I can find, there isn't a way to grey out the Bluetooth File Sharing box inside of it. Any suggestions are appreciated!
Background Like most organizations, we want the best — most secure — experience for our users. So, naturally, we’ve investigated leveraging Managed Apple IDs. While Managed Apple IDs come with some significant limitations, my personal favorite has to be: Allows browsing but not purchasing, paid or free in: App Store However, the promise of a Shared iPad is quite alluring. The Rub I also suspect “the rub” for most organizations who wish to federate their domain is Apple’s unwillingness to inform the enterprise which of the enterprise’s users will be impacted before federation is enabled: … but you can’t see their actual personal Apple ID. Get notified about federated authentication user name conflicts, Item No. 7 Script The following Domain Apple IDs Jamf Pro Computer Extension Attribute will inspect the current (or previous) logged-in user’s MobileMeAccounts.plist for Apple IDs associated with domains included in the domainsT
Our Admin team would love to be able to log into JAMF School at the beginning of the morning and get a "quick report" of the battery life across the campus to see who is not bringing their devices fully charged. I could envision it like the current circle graphs that you make with buckets: 90% and above - 80% -89% - 70% -79% - 60% -69% and anything below 60%. Ideally this would require a special "check in" command to happen every day a specified time as well. (So all devices check in around 7am) or allow us to assign that special check in time based on device group so we can stagger the timing. But we only have 1000 devices.
How do you guys have your road warriors login to Jamf Connect from public wifi with captive portals?I only have a few users that do this but wonder what the Jamf Connect config setup is like.
I attended JNUC in both 2023 and 2024 and finally have got around to implementing Installomator as per https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2J6fTQXIwU. Lots of people were talking about it and in 2024 was convinced to at least try it. The implmentation in the video uses two Smart groups. Smart group targetting "Patch Reporting" for the targetted application. For example, the criteria would be Patch Reporting: Google Chrome is less than Latest Version. Smart group targetting the above group because you can't target policies using Patch Reporting directly as per the video. The first group using Patch Reporting updates just fine. My issue is the 2nd group does not update correctly. When I initially save it the numbers match but after testing by updating an app the 2nd group will not update to reflect the number of the 1st group. The only way to update it is to go in and edit and resave the group. Then it will update correctly until the next time it
This one of the new MacOS DDM management features we were most looking forward to. Why is Jamf locking this to the cloud?
Hello everyone, For the Chrome browser, I've created a PLIST for installing the extension and a second one for configuring the extension, and it works perfectly. That's why I'd like to do the same for Firefox. The PLIST for installation works. But for the extension configuration PLIST I don't know how to do it? I can't find any information about this if it's possible. Here's what I did for Chrome : Preference domain : com.google.Chrome.extensions.IDextension <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>ConfigJson</key> <string> { "backend_servers": [ { "title": "Exemple title", "url": "https://exemple.com" } ], "base_url": "https://exemple.com", "allow_custom_server": false, "allow_registration": tru
We have all our managed iOS devices in Jamf Pro. We have most of these also in Jamf Security Cloud but need to remove some of them from there. What is the proper order to remove them from Security Cloud so the device is still usuable for the end user without any interaction on their part? We have the Jamf Trust app pushed out through Jamf Pro as well as a configuration profile containing the certificate, JamfSecurityCA.crt, and content filters and DNS settings are specified for Security Cloud and I can easily remove that app and configuration profile from the device, but I don't think that will remove the content filtering or data usage policies from the device that are setup in Security Cloud.
We've got a few devices that the Student app is giving a generic error on. We have enough licenses of it, wiped these iPads, tested other working ones. Any other ideas of what to check?
I'm trying to install Nexthink by using the script that was provided that has all the information in it. I'm issues getting it to run. In the path BASE_PATH="/Library/NexthinkInstall" should this be where I'm mounting the .dmg file? For instance, I created a composer pkg to add the Nexthink.dmg file to /private/tmp/Nexthink and then tried adding the completed postinstall script. #!/bin/bash# v5i - nxt_collector_installer.sh## Nexthink Collector Installation script for macOS## This script makes the following assumptions:# 1) The 'csi.app' folder from the Collector DMG is deployed to the endpoint. The installation# only needs that folder and not the full DMG.# 2) The deployment directory is configured below as 'BASE_PATH'# 3) This script is located in the same directory as the csi.app folder from assumption 1.# # Instructions: # 1) Modify the Nexthink Instance Settings in the section below# COLLECTOR_ADDRESS - The data collection address from the welcome email# CUSTOMER

I am new to the community. I have a configuration policy for AD binding. The policy has been in place for well over a year. There has been no changes to the Active Directory settings, however its giving failing messages. What's causing this?
Here's one out of left field, from my security group... We have a number of computers (Macs, windows, etc) reporting in CrowdStrike, Axonius, and other services. Not all of the Macs are enrolled in Jamf, for reasons good and bad, and we need to get them enrolled. The security team is looking for ways to deploy Jamf without needing to visit the computer (identifying user and location can be a challenge). I know nothing about whatever process CrowdStrike might use for this. I do know that installing MDM software on Windows computers can be done via Active Directory, and apparently CrowdStrike uses a some kind of method for deploying MSI or exe installers to Windows computers. I also know at one time Jamf had a quick add package that could, maybe, have been deployed from CrowdStrike or other tool that can support macOS pkg files, but today Jamf deployment depends on having the user, at the computer, download and install, with authentication, the Cert and MDM files.  
At one of the JNUC sessions, I could swear that a presenter commented that you could restrict access to the web console to specific IP ranges. This would be a good workaround for us to limit access to our 2FA jump host IPs rather than building a limited access JSS for this purpose. Am I taking crazy pills and made this up, or does anyone know how to configure such access, maybe via Tomcat settings?
Got an odd one. Anyone had this issue where Microsoft Word won't save anymore?I tried uninstalling, re-installing. Killed preference files and Microsoft Container files. Just on this Mac after he updated to 15.1 and Word 16.91.24111020. Tried an older version. User is signed into M365 okay. Other apps are fine, like PowerPoint and Excel. Other Macs are fine. Happens on every Word file, even a new blank one. Once we click Save As, just beach ball, freezes for a bit. No prompt or options to save from Finder.
Hi All,is it possible to enable an iPad that has been disabled for a period of time because the user has entered the incorrect passcode multiple times? I know that Casper can remove a passcode lock, but once the user has gone and disabled the iPad, can anything be done without having to resort to a full reset? Cheers,Chris.
HiQuestion which I don't know if it's related to Jamf or to Microsoft (Intune). We are using Jamf Pro with Microsoft Intune Integration. Some of our company Mac devices are fully managed and enrolled with our Jamf Pro Server. But some of our company Mac devices are just unmanaged (BYOD).Both types can be registered in Intune for Conditional Access. Jamf devices need to register with Self Service (which then starts Company Portal).BYOD devices just register with Company Portal app only. In the past, we had no issues with this. In the last days, all of our BYOD Macs can not register anymore with Company Portal. There's always the following error message: Your organization requires you to enroll this device with a different device management provider. It seems, that Intune now REQUIRES that every (Mac) device needs to be enrolled with Jamf.We updated our Jamf Pro Server to version 10.16.1 last week, but I don't know, if this is related to this update or if anything
Hi, We have integrated Jamf Pro and Microsoft Intune to define Conditional Access Policies for MacOS devices in our company. In this way, we can see the devices on Azure AD. In order to enroll devices on Intune, we also installed the Company Portal application as specified on the Jamf Pro site. After the installation, the user authenticates and registers. So far everything is running normally. However, after a while, authentication is requested again on MacOS devices at random times. What is the reason for this and is there a way to prevent it? I have shared the screenshots below. Thank you very much for your help in advance.This verification request is very annoying and bad experience for users and us technical teams.
We have students using ipads that are removing the MDM profile. Is there a way to prevent this?
Hey Guys, Is there a way to export a report that confirms which users have the screen and system audio recording setting toggled on? The goal is to export a list of users with any settings enabled in that area.
i had the same problem with my test run but on day 3 i got the update prompt, then i moved to adding 2 test users and nothing, i set it to give them 2 weeks to update and had them check after 3 and 9 days and they get "can not reopen app" error Police set to Recurring Check-in. i show it installed no error Config profile Preference Domain Properties Properties to configure for the preference domain Form editorPlist preview <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>optionalFeatures</key> <dict> <key>acceptableCameraUsage</key> <true/> <key>acceptableScreenSharingUsage</key> <true/> <key>attemptToBlockApplicationLaunches</key> <true/> <key>enforceMinorUpdates</key> <tru
Greetings! Having a bit of trouble with a host name mismatch on a ceritificate that's causing an issue with Outlook on startup. So far, I've added and exported the certificate in Keychain Access, uploaded it to the JSS in a configuration profile, and then tried to deploy it to a test computer but the problem here is that the trust settings are set to Use System Defaults. Then, I tried packaging the certificate up with composer and copying it to /tmp and installing it with this command: /usr/bin/security add-trusted-cert -d -r trustAsRoot -k /Library/Keychains/System.keychain /tmp/certificate.cer Which does add it and set to Always Trust... However, I still see the Verify Certificate message when Outlook is opened and Use System Defaults as the Trust settings even though the certificate is marked trusted for all users. Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong or another way to go about adding this certificate to the keychain and setting it to Always Trust? Thanks!
I set up a configuration marked OnPrem and SharePointDoor, but when logging in it tries to authorize me through office365, but we have a keycloak
