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 All, I wanted to share this with you, it's a bookmarklet. https://pro4tlzz.github.io/JamfHealComputer.htmlFollow the instructions on the page to add a button to redeploy the Management Framework on a computer device.

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!)

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

Hi All,I have never done this before, but I am trying to upload an iBook that I download from the App store (free book). Every time I attach the file to upload it to my cloud distribution point, it is complaining that I am uploading a ibooks.zip file. It is looking for just .ibooks, .epub, or .pdf. Does anyone know a workaround to this? Is this a way to convert ibooks to PDF? I have looked around online but I do not see any tools that actually work. Maybe this is a bug on JAMF's end?Thank you
Hey, y'all! I'm baffled and after much internet searching I need help!Our current setup is Mac lab computers bound to AD so that students can log in with their network accounts (also have a single local admin account). This creates a mobile user profile. I have a configuration profile with the following settings: Login Window / Window / Login Prompt: Name and password text fieldsLogin Window / Options / [x] Enable external accountsOn Ventura, our Mac lab computers would show the name and password fields when the screen was locked. If I remember correctly, it would show name and password EVEN IF the user hadn't logged out.Since Sonoma 14.1 or something, this is no longer the case. If a user leaves a computer and the screen times out and locks, it only shows the last user's profile picture, name, and password field, with no option to change this. I keep thinking this will magically return to the way it worked on Ventura, showing the name and password fields on the lock screen and lo
Hi there !Currently got a frustrating bug in Jamf Pro as it happens as soon as I log off (manually or via auto logout).I'm used to the interface in english but since the version 11 of Jamf and the new interface with translations, it keeps ignoring my setting to keep the interface in english and shows me french as soon as I login.Computer language is french, Chrome is used and empty cache/private navigation/Firefox got same issue.Timezone in Paris/Monaco does not change anything. How to reproduce:On top right corner lick on Account Settings when logged/Language & Region/ set language to english, save and logout.When I log back interface is back in french even if setting is still in english. Workaround:Set langage to french (but anything should work I think), save, set it back to english, save, interface back in english until next logout.Hope it can be fixed soon !
I've been trying to created a managed folder of bookmarks/favorites deployed via Configuration Profile to Microsoft Edge. It isn't available via the JSON custom schema. I've uploaded this plist, borrowed from Talking Moose, using the com.microsoft.edge domain. This info outlines how the setting should work:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#managedfavoritesMaybe I'm missing how to make the setting "mandatory".Thanks for any help.
