HI we face the issue to install Forcepoint on our Macs, but I can't even install it myself via command line because the HD is read only.So deploying it an masse is even more tedious Anyone out there who has been able to install it on Catalina, and wants to share how? any help is appreciated

Running a managed MBP and iMac and was wondering what a simple solution would be to backup my machines. I realize most of my data is in iCloud (and the cloud) but as of late I've had to reinstall my apps and it's a royal pain - even though some of then were on the App Store some were not and one has to hunt down old serial numbers and find the actual place where you can download the software. I know there is the update feature using firewire cable but I will need to do a fresh install as it's a new MAC.I'm thinking a simple TimeMachine backup may be ok, was wondering if superduper  (I don't really need a notable backup) would be ok too as I've used that before. I know these backup solutions work great but was wondering how adding the whole managed computer / Jamf thing into the mix would effect these backup strategies?  

I'm looking for a way to create a webclip for a specific site to deploy to a mac.  Some of our users have moved from ipads to macs and I would like to still provide the webclips we have pushed to their iPads for consistency.  It looks like there might be a way to create it and deploy to the dock.  Also saw some mention of Fluid - but not sure that is an option that can be deployed.

Hi,I'm preparing deployment of the admin-by-request tool Privileges (https://github.com/SAP/macOS-enterprise-privileges), but I've run into a snag when I try to install it via Jamf.So, the package that I've made has the .app, the LaunchDaemon and the PrivilegedHelperTool, all according to the documentation, and they all install fine. But when I run it the first time, I get the following prompt asking me for adminstrator credentials to install the PrivilegedHelperTool again: If I enter them, it works as expected, but the problem is that I want a standard user to be able to install this without entering any admin credentials.Has anyone encountered this problem? I don't understand why it wants to install it when I've already pre-installed it via my package.

Hello Nation!Coming across a weird Jamf bug where some devices are having their user and location information disappear. For context, we fill in this information manually upon enrolling computers. Has anyone seen anything like this in their environment before and if so how did you deal with it?Thanks in advance!

Hi Everyone, Today's crisis is related to VMware Fusion. We have version 8.5 installed, however, we are finding out the license we used to install it is expiring in 5 days. We are working directly with VMware to acquire a new license to use on our Macs. The question is, does anyone know of an easy way to package up or push out the new license without the need of repackaging Fusion? Thankfully, this is only affecting a handful of our Macs. Thanks in advance.

We are pretty new to Jamf and still trying to understand the scripting.  We have a renamecomputer script that we got as part of our onboarding for computers.  Was working great till we started sending in the department on the user from Okta.  So now the naming is off.  I am pretty good at Powershell and C#, but bash scripts I am struggling with.  Is there way in a bash script to look up a department value in like a switch statement?example if the department is "IT", then can you do something like this?switch (department)case "irs":     value = 123case "IT":     value = 987Any help or pointers to reference links would be great.  I am not sure what the bash term would be to do that so if I can get someone to help with that, might be able to get this figured out.

Since the 10.19 JSS update -or the 10.15.3 macOS update- something has broken where any Macs enrolled show up unmanaged. This applies to both DEP and user-enrolled Macs. I have the management account configured in both the PreStage enrollments and User-Initiated enrollments settings. I end up manually assigning the management account and then it's all good. I didn't have to do this before. Any ideas what might be happening or where to find a log that might say what's going on?

For some time our InfoSec guys have been giving me no end of heartburn due to near-continuous changes to the security architecture of the enterprise. Within the last year there have been no less than at least 14 security-related initiatives rolling concurrently.I've experienced deployment failures, profile corruption, inability to auth via SSO depending upon network attachment...To that end I've spun up a JPro server on prep, and just to make it fun (it's just for testing) it's running on macOS Sonoma 14.4.1:Jamf Pro Summary: Created 2024-04-08 07:03:48 by admin==========================================================================================Installed Version                                   11.3.0-t1707837736Hosted ............................................ false----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Managed Computers         &n

I haven't needed this information for a few years; I used to see it when I signed in, but that was before the website re-design. (C'mon, Jamf! Don't make it hard for me to give you my money!)

I recently had Jamf Pro update my MacBook to 14.3.1 from Ventura. The computer is AD bound and we have the Domain Admins and another group we use set so they should be computer admins. Before I pushed the upgrade my account was listed as "Mobile, Admin" but after the upgrade it just say "Mobile". I logged out and logged in as another account from our admin group and it didn't give that account Admin status either. At this point I suppose my next step would be to try to rebind the Mac to AD and hope that corrects the issue.Has anyone else seen this happen?

Has anyone had any luck in building out a Title Editor application for Chromedriver? (https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads)I am trying to see how doable this would be if we installed Chromedriver in the "usr/bin" folder. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

This may not be specifically about Jamf School but looking for a general recommendation and I think Jamf School users would be most likely able to relate.Our school division is trying to re-use older iPads which use iOS v12.5.7 as the latest OS.  The iPads are being used for communication devices for limited use cases.  Places where only 1 or 2 apps are needed so we can lock these apps down.The use case I'm trying to address is where teachers need to lock the app down to a video library where only the 5 or 6 videos can be accessed and nothing else.  If the students in this case have access to any other apps they will get distracted and sometimes combative.One idea was to use something like Microsoft Stream in Single App Mode but it isn't compatible with iOS v12.5.7.  It works in Google Chrome and I'm currently looking into using Chrome Browser Cloud Managment along with a content filter to lock the student into Microsoft Stream web version.  I don't really pref
