Hi everyone, With the update to Ventura, is there a way in Jamf Pro to enable users to change the Airplay Receiver settings? We want our users to be able to enable Airplay Receiver and Change the "Allow Airplay for" category without needing admin credentials. We were able to allow users to change these settings when they were under the Sharing menu in Monterey, but these settings were moved to the AirDrop & Handoff and now users can no longer edit (without admin credentials). We currently have AirDrop enabled in Jamf Pro. Thanks!
For the apps that are in Jamf's catalog, you can use less than "Current version" as a way to add users to a smart group, but what about the apps that aren't in the catalog? Is the best method just to run the policy once per week? Or is there something I'm missing here?
Hello,I'm experiencing difficulties enabling FileVault on some macOS devices that were auto-enrolled via JAMF Connect. Despite having the policy in place, FileVault encryption did not initiate.I've opened a ticket for new devices, but there are still a few lingering devices where FileVault remains disabled. When attempting to manually enable FileVault and cycle the key Thank you for your help.Best regards,Darshan Hiranandani
Not a huge deal but since upgrading our Windows On-Prem Jamf server to 11.6 we are not getting any backup notifications.It just shows the following on both production and dev server:Backups run fine, SMTP also works for other notifications.Anyone else affected?
Sorry for the weird title, but I just want to check with the community before moving forward! We have a fully setup Jamf environment where everything is humming along well (enough). We have Okta and don't utilize it for Users/Groups/Buildings/etc and would like to start (unfortunately Okta isn't native for Directory Integration yet. Vote for it here: https://ideas.jamf.com/ideas/JN-I-16061) I've setup Okta successfully in our sandbox Jamf Pro server and everything just fine so we're ready to move forward to Prod but we're not sure if anything will break. Since we don't have any policies, groups, extension attributes, that use LDAP in any way, we don't expect anything to take effect until we start using those, but we also weren't sure. Can anybody confirm that adding an LDAP server to Jamf Pro just adds the ability to start using going forward? Rather than take over some part of your server and break/change things immediately? Thanks a ton!
Hello all,I have a two-part question... Has anyone ever installed the Datadog agent into JamfPro so it can be accessed through SelfService? And do I need to get a script from Datadog to get it configured so it can be installed on the Mac using SelfService?I'm planning to get the free trial of Datadog, but I want to see if this can be done since the trial is only for 14 days. I want to be able to show my management that Datadog works and can be available for all of our users using SelfService. Thanks for any feedback :)
Does anyone have suggestions how to maintain iPads in the Return to Service app scope after it is run? The iPads are dropped from static groups, and I can't think of a smart group that will retain the iPad after it is erased (other than all iPads and I don't want scope this to all iPads).
Hi Mac Community,I'm trying to correctly deploy Unreal to my lab environment and I'm having a time making this work smoothly. My lab setup consists of users logging with standard rights along with accounts being removed at every startup.My issue is, when Unreal is launched, the student has to wait until all the "Compiling Shaders" are finished which can take awhile. I'm aware of a setting called Global Derived Date Cache folder which I've pointed to the /User/Shared/Epic location but it doesn't seem to respect it. Anyone run unto this with a solution? I was hoping to be able to capture this cache folder on a test machine and have it pushed to the full lab. The times that I have done this it still goes through the Compiling Shaders process.
Hi everyone,I am looking to get in touch with any MSPs who are looking to automate their work and realise that the future of the MSP industry at the SMB level is end-user self service.Any one who fits the bill please dm me!
All,I've got an end user who I'm doing a favor for, he's retiring and buying a new Mac which I'm setting up for him. I'd like to use migration assistant to move all his stuff over, while just removing the Jamf stuff-- I don't want the self service app going over, and I certainly don't want any configuration profiles moving over.I haven't tried this in the past, but if I use migration assistant, and JUST move applications and the user folder, not checking any other boxes, will it also bring over configuration profiles, or other managed settings? All the apps on there are either free, site licenses (Which he won't be able to use once he's not connected to our network), or apps he purchased himself, so we're not worried about him taking any licenses he's not supposed to have. My big concern is that he's got an AD account, and we'll need to move him to a local account. Is this possible with migration assistant? Looking forward to hearing any possible suggestions that others have for h

Hi everyone. I am using Composer to build packages a different MDM and really enjoying it.One question I have- am I missing on updates/upgrades? How do I check if a new version is available? Is it paid/free? Where to look for info? Couldn't find any useful info on the product page itself. Right now I have 10.40.0-[lots of digits].
Hey Everyone,Ran into an issue today that was out of the blue and fun I think would be helpful for some of you. Earlier today a couple of my users were signed into Teams and sat them at a disconnected screen and to sign back in. After relaunching Teams it brought them to a "We Ran Into Trouble 1002" and a "Something Went Wrong 1001(or 1000)" error page. Effectively making them unable to open and even attempt to sign into Teams.Troubleshooting through this and blowing out the cache in ~/Library/Application\\ Support/Microsoft/Teams/Cache and a restart did not resolve it and there are no Microsoft Teams Identities Cache entries in the Keychain to remove either if you are using either or both Jamf Connect and the Microsoft SSO Extension. To resolve this I had to delete the Teams Cache folder from the machine, un-scope the MS SSO Extension to the device and after a restart the user is prompted to sign into Teams again without an issue. I believe this is stemming from an issue of users
Have a Mac that's lost contact with Jamf...Trying to update the MDM profile with "sudo profiles renew -type enrollment" but end up with a "different server URL" error. (I guess the prestage changed)sudo jamf removemdmprofile didn't work - maybe because the machine has Ventura?When I ran jamf policy I got "device signature error"After running jamf removeframework the "bad" MDM profile persists. ... Is the only solution to wipe the device or have I missed something?
We have limited number of licenses for MainStage, just enough for the number of teachers. We're now replacing their ageing Macbooks with newer ones but they can't install the app using self-service because there are no free licenses. How have others worked around this (without purchasing extra licenses)? I have created a script that deletes the app and do a recon (the record for the device in Jamf no longer shows the app as installed in inventory) but the license is not released (Mac Apps still show all licenses are used). Is there a delay when this gets updated or do I really have to wipe the old device before the record is updated?
Has anyone had any luck getting defender config profiles to block USB storage in jamf? I had gotten it to work using the guide provided by Microsoft a few months ago, but recently it appears to no longer be working. We've tried changing the plist that microsoft provided in the config profile to disable USB but it just doesnt appear to work. If anyones in a similar situation and gotten it to work, id love to know what you did. Our company isnt looking to use jamf protect just for the USB blocking.
Is it possible to export a list of just the applications found across all devices without listing the device name. Basically I want just a list of applications so that periodically I can run the report, go through the list and look for odd applications that I'm not familiar with and follow up from there. The current computer inventory export > applications file is huge and takes to long to go through as EVERY device has chess.app installed for example. If not I might have to go to plan B
I'm trying to create a smart group to remove applications. Normally I just do application title 'has' Application.app. However, I'm finding users have renamed 'Application.app' to other values, like 'Application (1234).app or 'Application (112233) (445566).app' and so on, probably to maintain specific build numbers of the app. Is there any smart group criteria that I could use to catch all those modified names? I tried the `Application %.app` wildcard in the name, but that returned 0 results.
Hi,I am running Mac OS X 13.3.1 for 100 iMacs, after a schedule maintenance update, I would want to make sure student account is able to login to the iMac.

I've read in all the other articles/discussions on people having the same issues as me in deploying the new version of AMP... but have yet to see a clear-cut solution on getting this deployed... I've seen the "solution" of finding the hidden policy.xml file in the DMG, but am still a little confused about that part.... Can anyone (maybe not exactly) step-by-step have an easier way of deploying this?
This isn't a big deal, but it worked when I tested over a month ago. When running installing the client, it does the update correctly and removes the old icon, but it's not adding the new icon to the end of the dock. If I run the update without the old agent installed, it installs and adds the icon to the end of the dock, just doesn't do it when there is a previous version installed.
Hello, I would like to configure the "Wait to send Messages for -+ " under the "Undo Send" to 20 seconds for all MacBook Outlook clients through JAMF Pro. Can this be done?
I was having issues getting smartcards to work on my M2 MacBooks. I'm able to pair the card and unlock the system using the card, however when it shuts down and gets to the FV2 logon it says " smartcard configuration is invalid for this account" Has anyone else run into this? Any ideas where to start? Thanks,
Hi, When trying to download Self Service from the JSS (JAMF cloud), I am met with the above error message. I have performed this ask previously with on premise solutions and had no problem - but it seems unless I automatically install it (which I don't want to do as it will install for everyone) I cannot use the app and test out the functionality. Is there a way around this?
