I've inherited a JSS from someone else and see steps detailed in link below to set up a JSS - GSX connection but in our case we will be renewing it — 1) are those same steps needed for that? Also 2) can the same GSX certificate once renewed be added to two JSSes? https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/articles/26/integrating-with-apple-s-global-service-exchange-gsx Thanks for pointing me in the right direction...

We have several policies, configuration profiles, and other objects assigned to a site. This site serves the same purpose as our 'Full Jamf Pro' and is therefore redundant.  We want to reassign all the objects in the site over to our ‘Full Jamf Pro’ (site set to ‘none’). What’s the most efficient way to transfer everything to Full Jamf Pro? 

Does any one happen to know how to structure a config profile for plist settings for Microsoft edge https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies   The aim at present, is to enforce safe browsing, prevent incognito mode and prevent deleting browsing history. As this helps curb miss use of web browsing as kids realise, they can't hide where they have visited.

Part of our Mac hardening, we have to have the BT icon show on the menu bar. All our Mac's are mostly Ventura with a handful of Sonoma. I don't see anything in to Jamf to allow this. I have a command that when ran locally via terminal, it'll add the icon, but if I create a policy using the Files and Processes>Execute Command, it won't add it, but the according to the log on the device, it was successful.  I've also tried using a script, but the script won't add it either.defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.controlcenter.plist Bluetooth -int 2

Job posting: "... You can write production-quality code for automation in Python, Bash, or similar languages" I've written some scripts, but nothing significant like the open-source projects we all use. I can modify what I need from other sources to get stuff done. What sort of 'production code' have you used or written? Where would I start to write something?  Seems everything I can think of exists I'm not nearly experienced enough to contribute to nudge or super, etc. If you have a code repo, where'd you get the experience? I guess I'm having a rough day after being passed on job after job and the only factor I can figure is I don't have the programming experience as a sysadmin

I am having a little brain fart here, but I'm sure it's simple. When I run this jamf policy using the event flag from Terminal, it runs just fine (probably because it prompts for my credentials). But if I try to run it from self service, I get an error that a Terminal is required for the password. Script: #!/bin/bash #Find current logged in user loggedInUser=$( scutil <<< "show State:/Users/ConsoleUser" | awk '/Name :/ && ! /loginwindow/ { print $3 }' ) #Runs SysDiagnose as Current User su $loggedInUser -c "sudo /usr/bin/sysdiagnose -u -f ~/Desktop/" Error: I want users to have the capability to run SysDiagnose from Self Service, without it prompting for a password.

Good Afternoon All!I work for a school district, and I've kind of taken on the mantel of apple Sysadmin. We are a windows org, but we do have a chunk of apple devices managed with Jamf Pro/ASM.   I am having trouble getting our WiFi payload working the way I want. Our windows devices are on AD, so everything is automatic, but I want our apple devices to be on the WiFi using an AD credential we made for this. That technically works, but whenever you first push that payload out you have to make a "Trust Exception" to connect to the WiFi. At the moment we don't have a clear way of getting these devices on AD, and I'm wondering if there's anything I can do or a Certificate I can upload with it to make the device automatically Trust.I don't have a ton of experience on the networking side of things, and not many of us do, so we're trying to figure this out as we go.I appreciate any helpful tips!

Hey JAMF'ers- Is there a good way to bundle multiple .pkgs into one pkg file using composer? So like say I have a bunch of instrument packs I've downloaded the .pkg files from the vendor and I want to deploy to some of our machines, is there a way to bundle those dozen or so pkgs into one pkg file using composer? 

My district currently uses JAMF School and I am pretty familiar with the Teacher app and have several teachers using it consistently.  My question is if we were to upgrade to Pro are there added features within the teacher app that would benefit our teachers?  We are trying to gather as much information as possible from people actually using the product to make an informed decision on whether an upgrade to Pro would be worth it for our district.

I am a system administrator for a school in Germany. We have received a ton of IPads this Year where the MDM was an old version due to it still allowing the App Store and removal of the MDM.We have already tried many things like resetting it or contacting the City Administration but nothing had worked until now. If you could help me that would be very kind of you

We have a user who wants to run iMovie and Music on an iPad managed by JAMF.  They want to make promotional videos with iMovie and use Music to create playlists for events at our on-campus art museum. Both require the user to sign in with an iCloud account to launch the App (correct me if I"m wrong, I'm not a wiz at all this).  I don't want to encounter Activation Lock with this iPad so I'm wondering if a Managed Apple ID is the solution or if an email address that we create for the user (and know the password once they use it to create an AppleID and iCloud account) is the correct method. WWW research has not yet revealed this particular situation; can someone wiser than me offer help?

Hey all, got a question for you. We have recently been using Jamf on our clients' Mac devices. However, we have been using ncentral for years now. We love the ncentral agents' ability to monitor device statistics and the alert board for issues. My question; can we install the ncentral agent via Jamf Policy? The research I have done so far has indicated they are competing for products. I am still planning on testing this but wanted to see if anyone else had already gone through the process and can tell me if I am on a doomed quest or not.

There is a notification in the Jamf Pro console showing that the Push Notification cert will expire in x days, but I can't find the option to send me an email to prompt me to take action. I do not live in the Jamf console! If this does not exist, does anyone have any suggestions for implementing a reminder/alert/notification externally to Jamf?  Thanks!

Hi there,Does anyone have a working method of disabling FileVault maybe through a script? The FileVault user is not the prestaged local admin account but the users themselves. Most likely this will require input from the user which is completely fine.One of the ways of doing this I thought of but may not work is to enable FileVault on the prestaged local admin through a script and then turn off FileVault alltogether but I'm just checking if anyone else dealt with this issue in a more graceful way.

My district has been using Jamf School for several years now and we love it.  It is much better than the MDM we had previously, and made our transition to 1:1 very easy.  We are considering an upgrade to JAMF Pro to get access to possibly some more features.  I would love to hear some feedback from some who maybe have used or have knowledge of both and get your thoughts on whether we should do the upgrade.  What are some of the perks of pro that would make the upgrade worth it. Thanks in advance.

Hello community, currently having the issue that we have two different accounts (asm/jamf). for a better experience we want to consolidate these, but not sure what the correct way is and I can't find any relevant articles. all iPads on both accounts are DEP registered. 1. adapt the DEP registration from ASM account 1) to account 2) - then the devices automatically end up in Jamf? (if yes, can we do this on our own?) 2. remove the devices from an account (via ASM) and add them to Jamf via Mac and Apple Configurator 2 or is there another way? Thanks in advance.

I hope this guide proves as helpful to others as it has been for our organization! If you're looking to automate the creation of application restrictions, you're in the right place. Feel free to ask any questions—this process might not suit everyone, but I’m happy to share more about what we do here at the college. The community has been a tremendous help to me over the years, and I’m eager to give back in any way I can.# Jamf Restricted Software Automation Script # **Overview**This Powershell script automates the identification and restriction of unauthorized software in a Jamf Pro environment. It analyzes applications installed on managed devices, compares them to a whitelist, and restricts unauthorized applications exceeding a specified usage threshold. Additionally, it generates a log report and sends an email summary with details of restricted applications. **Features**Automated Restricted Software ManagementAutomatically identifies and restricts software not in the whitelist. **

I'm trying to add the $ASSET_TAG variable to a login window config profile payload and all I'm seeing on the lock screen is $ASSET_TAG. I can use other variables, but that one doesn't seem t work.

Hello Team, Need one info, we can see Flexera agent deployment working fine when we are running the installer command with enabling root account in CLI mode. But if I run the same command with another user account which is also an admin I mean having sudo privilege it doesnt work, now my question is, is it security violation to run the command with root account(sudo su, which switchs to root account with CLI prompt sh-3.2#)?  Apple doesnt recommend to enable root account in GUI mode, is it valid for root account in CLI mode or it is OK to use root account in CLI mode?

I created the Cisco Secure Client package (version 5.1.2.42) using the Cisco documentation . It was working fine, but now I am seeing the error "No connection to VPN service. Reattachment failed" (Screenshot attached). I don't know what could be the root cause. Any help would be appreciated.  https://support.umbrella.com/hc/en-us/articles/23515921165844-How-to-deploy-Cisco-Secure-Client-via-JAMF-MacOS

Hi everyone, I set a code every afternoon on the iPad of my daughter to set screen time limits. The iPad also has Jamf School to restrict the usage of applications while children are in the school. Every time I check in family, the code enforcement is gone.Either my daughter knows how to hack it, or Jamf is interfering with family. I would like to ask you, if you have experience something similar? Best regards, Paul 

Is there a way to disable Password Manager in Settings? I don't want users to be able to view passwords nor add a password to the password manager for iPad/iOS devices.

Hi, I want to migrate my on prem installation of Jamf Pro to a clustered environment. What are the best resources on how to proceed. Until now I dont have any knowledge on clustering, so a complete overview on what to do would be appreciated. Kind regards

Hey everyone, We're currently in a situation where we have users mixing their corporate/managed and personal/unmanaged apps on our devices (please don't ask why, it's a long story). Unfortunately, this leads to some of them being unable to back up personal data into their iCloud, as the app is seen as a managed app, and iCloud backups aren't allowed for managed apps.It seems to me the most straightforward solution would be to convert the apps from managed to unmanaged. But I can only find information going from unmanaged to managed. Does anyone know if it's possible to convert an app back to unmanaged once it's been managed and how to do that? Cheers,Phil
