I’ve passed the JAMF 200 and have been learning about JAMF from Jamf Catalog and also trying to get more hands on experience at work.I'm keen to learn more and aim to do JAMF 300 in 6 months time. Are there any good books for new Mac Admins? I’m keen to learn more about scripting and macOS so maybe a book on AppleScript? I’m open to any suggestions that may have helped others in their Mac Admin careers.

I've used command sudo jamf removemdmprofile and  sudo jamf removeframework to fix certificate expired issue, After that I renerolled my mac with Jamf with web. My mac received all configuration profiles, but self service applicaton and jamf binary can not be pushed on my mac. Anyone knows how to install that manually?

Autodesk sadly doesn't have a removal script for macOS.  So I made one using their collection of random documentation.  It removes all Autodesk apps, the system files and user files.One piece missing is FlexNet, since this is used by other Applications and should be kept. #!/bin/bash # Autodesk Cleanup Script currentUser=$( scutil <<< "show State:/Users/ConsoleUser" | awk '/Name :/ && ! /loginwindow/ { print $3 }' ) # Removes Autodesk Applications sudo rm -rf /Applications/Autodesk/ # Removes Autodesk User Library Files rm -rf /Users/$currentUser/Library/Application Support/AdSSO-v2 rm -rf /Users/$currentUser/Library/Application Support/Autodesk rm -rf /Users/$currentUser/Library/Application Support/Autodesk Installer rm -rf /Users/$currentUser/Library/Logs/Autodesk rm -rf /Users/$currentUser/Library/Logs/Autodesk Installer rm -rf /Users/$currentUser/Adlm sudo rm -rf /Users/$currentUser/Autodesk # Removes all com.autodesk files from user's logs and

Hey y'all! I'm currently mass uninstalling an antivirus program within our environment. I got the script to run as I need it to but with one problem: to complete the uninstall, it prompts for a local admin password to remove the system extension. How do I get around this without going to almost 200+ computers to input local admin information?

Hi All, I haven't seen any discussion regarding OBS Studio and creating profile settings using PPPC or manually through JAMF Pro. Many of our teachers are requesting this software for teaching due to remote learning and any input is appreciated. Thank you!

I started getting a SSO timeout issue a few weeks ago when trying to sign in to my jamf pro instance. every morning, i get this time out warning and need to sign out of my office account, quit chrome, then hot my bookmark. Once i get there, i have to then select my account and sign out again, then sign back in.    Any way to stop this other then using my failover account?

Hi AllCan anyone tell me, why is isn't possible to switch off the wifi for the App " TI Nspire CAS" over Jamf Teacher and for the App "GeoGebra" is it possible. Because the Apps need the "Guided access" to start Exam mode.Is this a matter of an App developer oder Jamf ?Thanks for you comment or help.Peter

Hello all, Would anyone out there be able to provide me with a Script that on execution would delete all Users and/or User's home folder's with the exception of the user that is logged in and an option to specify specific (admin) users that need to stay on there? It is likely that my Macs have a User Home folders that don't have a local user. So if the Local user doesn't exist, it still should wipe the Home folders of anyone but the current logged in user (and the specified admin user(s). I would be tremendously gratefull!

Hi allSince iOS 17, students can change the background with the new "Focus" function. When will this be integrated into the Jamf restrictions?Thank and best RegardsPeter

Dear community,I´ve got following problem:When erasing a device and wanting it to return to service afterwards, I use this configuration:Return to Service is checked, a valid network configuration is scoped. The option:"Install MDM profile after erasure" is NOT checked, because all our devices are registered in ASM. The documentation says:"If the device is registered in Apple School Manager, the MDM configuration can be omitted."Now when I confirm these settings, I get an error in the activity log saying "Für „Wiederinbetriebnahme“ ist ein MDM-Profil auf diesem Gerät erforderlich." Meaning: "A MDM-profile on the device is required for "return to service"". No erasure takes place.So I cannot use this option, although it is described this way in the documentation.https://learn.jamf.com/bundle/jamf-school-documentation/page/Return_Device_to_Service.html Does anybody experience the same problem or knows a possible solution?Thank You in advance, Daniel 

Hi All, I am having issue with Microsoft Login (Azure) appearing on a Pre deployment with computers on Jamf ProCan anyone help me with this issue  or send some instructions?

Hi,We have a set of classroom iPads which have been configured in Jamf School to prevent pupils from deleting their browser (Safari) history.Recently a pupil has been searching for inappropriate subjects, how do I delete the browser history now the matter has been dealt with? Thank you. 

It would be nice if we were able to have a smart group of all lost mode devices to make it easier to follow up on. I don't see a way to do this.

I can see one mac is present in ABM and assigned to the correct MDM server in ABM but when we are going to provision the mac, it is configuring locally as personal mac device but not enrolling in JAMF automatically. I unassigned the mac from the present MDM and reassigned back to the same MDM server but still no luck. I can see the storage is showing Unknown in ABM portal for this mac, but for other macs it is showing the storage and those are getting enrolled in JAMF automatically. What might be the possible causes and what should be the resolution here?

Is there a document process for Jamf admins to recover Mac OS devices that have been locked with the Lock Computer command?  I understand from prior threads there is the risk of brute force activity by the end user that could render the device useless.  Is there any recommended best practice from Jamf to prevent this from happening?  

Hello! I wanted to see how the hive mind was handling updating Apple's command line tools when they are not installed alongside Xcode. I currently have a smart group set up to track who has it installed without Xcode. I have attempted to push the PKG for 15.3 (from Apple's Developer website), but the issue is that after updated via Jamf, a new incremental update appears in the System Settings. This sort of defeats the purpose of Jamf updating them when the end user will have to manually update them anyway. Is there another way to update command line tools via Jamf that I am missing?Thank you in advance!

I'm having trouble logging in to Mut with my SSO. I get this error message, but I know my Jamf credentials are working because I use them every time I log into Jamf. Do I need to make some changes or have request access? I've tried using this link but still having issues.   

Hi all, how would I change the password of the managed devices inside of Jamf, I know how to instruct them to change it from their end but im not sure how to change it from our end, how would I do this?

We are wanting to move to using the "Mac App" and the Jamf App catalog to manage several apps. Since it only support Smart Groups, simply assigning it to "All Managed Clients" or similar seems a bit lazy to me. What kind of workflows are you using? Generally we use a Policy that installs the app the first time to a static group that needs the application, not everyone gets Sketch for example. Then we use Patch Management for updates. We do have company wide applications such as Zoom that All Managed works for. Just interested in how others have gotten around the single Smart Group limitation of Mac Apps.

Got a question regarding WiFi troubleshooting. Our networking team was asking if there is a similar command like what they run on the windows side for troubleshooting (Netsh WLAN show WLANreport). Is there something similar that can be run on the Mac side? I was just going to enable logging and hoping that would capture the data the network guys would need to troubleshoot some disconnects on the local device. Since our users don't have admin rights, I was trying to create a policy that deploys the enable command via files and processes or even a script, but it doesn't enable logging./usr/libexec/airportd debug +AllUserland +AllDriver +AllVendor.

So today I decided to get one of these old intel machines, a 2015 Macbook Pro a whirl. It has been erased and removed from Jamf as well as ASM, but still has the prompt to enroll in remote management during setup. I erased it again, but to no avail. Anyone got a clue what could be happening?

Hello All, We enabled SSO for Google Chrome and Edge browsers through a config profile, so that our users can log into the internal site without prompting the username and password again and again when they are in office network, all sudden it stopped working. Any idea what might be the reason, I can tell you the below is set in my config profile for GC and Edge  and was working before.<key>AuthNegotiateDelegateAllowlist</key> <string>*.mycompany.com</string> <key>AuthServerAllowlist</key> <string>*.mycompany.com</string> Any idea what might be the cause and resolution?

I have a Mac that's already been encrypted with FileVault (Moving it from AirWatch as the MDM to Jamf), and the Disk Encryption page for this specific computer is blank. The computer's been encrypted according to System Preferences, but Jamf for some reason isn't able to see that information, or any information relating to ecryption for that matter. What can I do to get Jamf to see the FileVault info and escrow the recovery key? We're running Jamf Cloud if that's important

Hello all, After configuring a basic time machine setup Mac OS server running on Mac Pro with Sierra Setting up a Time Machine Configuration profile with the time machine folder address that I can navigate to across the network via smb (smb://mycompany.com/Timemachine) With folder restrictions set, and a size limit of 25gb The configuration profile logs show 'completed' on my test machine - but no backup ever initiates, and nothing is backed up to the folder Is there any other setting I need to apply? Do I need to input a managed preferences configuration and set 'enable time machine' in conjunction with the config profile? PS: I am aware TM isn't the best enterprise resource for backing up, but it's what I will have to make do with for now
