This article and many others can be found on Rich Trouton’s blog Der Flounder As part of Apple’s unveiling of Declarative Device Management (DDM) at WWDC 2023, Apple announced that DDM management included the ability to deploy MDM configuration profiles using DDM as the delivery mechanism in place of using MDM to deliver the profiles. Jamf Pro’s Blueprints leverages this capability to support device restrictions.Let’s see how this works using a device restriction configuration, using the example of setting the following Apple Intelligence management functions to false in order to block the correspo

I’m wondering how others approach Macs that have become unaccounted for, lost or stolen?We have a fleet of approx 1500 - many that were purchased before any of the stuff currently involved in managing them were working for our organisation.Sometimes I’ll come across a Mac that is still checking into Jamf, but we have no record of who it belongs to and whether it was legitimatly bought-out or not.Othertimes we have Macs that have just been plain stolen.There’s another scenario on top of this where I’ll encounter Macs that check-in, so can seemingly run Policies but aren’t doing an inventory update, and won’t run Management commands. (the Wipe Computer command being one I’d find quite useful in particular)With that in mind, I put together a script to install a launch daemon that launches a script that agressively notifies the user that the device belongs to our org, and to contact our helpdesk - it blocks the screen out to the point the device become

Hey All,We’ve been using a fleet of WiFi Only Apple TV’s as digital signage in single apple mode, we changed the configuration profile, and this appears to have disconnected all of them, while keeping them stuck in single app mode. Is there a way out of this? Kind Regards,Jarrah

Hello everyone, teachers use the Managed Apple ID but cannot download applications in the AppStore, the only apps that can be downloaded are the same as those from the selservice. Do you know a solution so that teachers managed Apple IDs have more possibilities? I use JamfPro, Thank you

I read somewhere that with iPadOS 26 we will have an option to manage Safari like set Bookmarks and other staff. Unfortunately when i want elaborate this more further i am not able to find any offical documentation from Apple or from Jamf on this topic. Has anybody experience with this? Does Jamf already implemented into console tools to manage Safari via DDM?

Hi,I'm trying to experiment with deploying Safari web apps to other devices for an IT environment.I can create a package of a Safari web app on my personal MacBook, and repeatedly deploy the package to my personal MacBook without issue. The Safari web apps are typically installed to ~/Applications, but I can install to the system /Applications folder, or even to a place like the user desktop, and it will work. The app will also work for different users on my personal MacBook.When I install the package to another computer, there is a pop up saying that says "You can't open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete."Are Safari web apps hard locked to a device, from something like associating the web app with hardware identifiers? Could changing the web app or an associated plist with the web app via a script resolve this issue, or do web apps have to be manually created per user? Or more importantly, does anyone know if Jamf will support creat

I created this small application to make it easier to retrieve the Bundle ID of a macOS app.Simply drag a .app file onto its icon in the Dock to display the app’s unique identifier and easily copy it to the clipboard.The link below includes both the AppleScript source code and the compiled, ready-to-use application.https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/74iqhkbs7cd7nfhi0fsn9/Bundle-ID-Droplet.7z?rlkey=a2kldrolexvix16z6hluvjpar&st=n999z5tv&dl=0Hopefully, this can help someone.

I wanted clarification on what HTTP response status code Jamf Pro will return if I call the /api/v2/mobile-devices endpoint when I only have a Jamf Computer license, and similarly, what status code I will get if I call the /api/v1/computers-inventory endpoint when I only have a Mobile Devices license.

Hi all,we just configured Jamf Protect, and it seems that the Macs removed from Jamf Pro were not removed automatically from the list on Protect.Is there a way to automatize the offboarding, or the only solution is to remove a device manually from both?Thanks,

Hi, We have had quite a few calls into our service desk recently where users are unable to connect to known networks. Upon further investigation it appears that all known networks have disappeared from the device however the profile is showing as installed on the management profiles.    The workaround is to exclude them from the configuration profile and then re-add them which solves the issue, but this is becoming a bigger issue.   Has anyone been able to resolve?    Thanks Ashley

Our Device Inventory is no longer displaying Static Group Memberships. I can see the devices in the Static Group, just not in reverse on the Device Inventory. Anyone got similar problems? Kind Regards,Mathew

In the MacAdmin world, few names command the kind of respect Charles Edge does. Not just for his technical expertise, but for his relentless curiosity and generosity. After his unexpected passing in 2024, I found myself reflecting on a behavior I learned through Charles's actions. A mindset I've come to call the Edge Methodology. It's not a framework or a management technique in the traditional sense. It's a response to fear. A refusal to fake confidence in things not yet understood. And it's inspired by the way Charles lived: by digging in, learning with humility, and lifting up others in the process.

I don't know about you, but my in-person conference skills need a brush-up. For me, it's been a little over three years since my last in-person. So here are some tips I've put together with some help from a few friends. If you are turning up on Monday before dinner, check the JNUC Slack Channel for any pre-conference get-togethers Monday night. The same is true every night. You can sleep when you get back home. This may be the only chance you get to talk to these people for some time. Go to the Keynote. It's the start of the conference, and at JNUC it starts well. I know it might be hard getting out of bed after the long flight the day before but do it. In fact, get into the conference venue for breakfast and a

It must be 8 or 9 years ago that I started supporting customers with ZuluDesk (now Jamf School). This was my first step into the device management world. Before that, I was a repair technician.  As my curiosity grew, I was lucky enough that my employer allowed me to do the Jamf 100 and 200 courses. Managing iOS devices is all good and well, but with Mac you need a little more tools. Things like setting a wallpaper sound easy, but they actually require a bit more work than I expected.   Welcome to the world of Mac Admins! I discovered that for everything I wanted to figure out how to do, there is usually someone with the same question, and maybe they’ve already found a solution for it. Coming in as a completely new Mac Admin, it might be a bit difficult to find your way. But knowing the right peop

Not too long ago, I wrote a Tech Thoughts article covering some of my favorite community resources. I wrapped up that post by mentioning a couple of conferences that might be worth your time. Well, it’s time to revisit those — because conference season is upon us! This list is heavily inspired by Jamf’s very own Armin Briegel whom has a fantastic page listing conferences and resources at scriptingosx.com/conferences — and he keeps it well updated!    A Quick Look Back  My personal favorite from last year was JNUC 2024 in Nashville. It was my second time attending, and I already knew a few folks, which made the experience even better. The networking opportunities are truly the highlight. Talking to l

Death by PowerPoint started in the living room Willis H. O’Brien was a famous Hollywood special effects artist known for his pioneering work in stop-motion cinematography. While we may look at his special effects in the movie King Kong from 1933 as outdated compared to the special effects we see in contemporary movies, his work is still relevant. He gave his audience the illusion that a giant gorilla not only moved but climbed the Empire State Building, then the tallest building in the world. And he did it one frame at a time. Unlike stop-mot

Ok, if the subject doesn't say enough, here is a little back ground. I've created a gofundme account for MacMule in hopes he will be able to attend this years JNUC. He was informed he would not be able to go to this years JNUC due to corporate issue(we all know and love those issues don't we). So for all of those of you who he has helped and those of you who use his AutoCasperNBI, he needs your help! He keeps calling me nuts for doing this, but I think as much as he has contributed to the community, we should help him. He stays up late each night(since he lives in England) to help out US mac admins from his house. He doesn't have to do this, but he does it for the love of the community, lets pay him back! MacMule's GoFundMe Page (*Note: to the jamf nation admins, if this is considered to be against the forum rules, my bad, just wanted to help out a fello

I need to uninstall Jamf Protect from a device running macOS 12, so I download the uninstaller and try to run it locally and also tried to push it from Jamf Pro. It fails with an error saying macOS 13 is required to run the uninstaller…..Anyone else dealt with this?Am I stuck with reimage the device? I’d rather not but will if I have to.

For the life of me I simply cannot get our Windows Virtual Print queues with Papercut working on MacOS (currently for us 15.6.1).I get the dreaded ‘unable to connect to printer’ error.  and then its just stuck waiting. Here is what I’m doing.I set up the printer locally using the advanced tab and add it as smb://print.domain.local/printer-queuename I select the universal “Mac Printer” driver I downloaded from Fuji Xerox site (currently v 2.6).  I do a test print. It works. But only once. It never works again. If I now add a second printer queue using the same method it doesn’t work. if I then go and delete the initial prin

Hi Jamf Nation, we are using conditional access policies in EntraID to prevent users from using private mobile devices to access our M365 Services. However I need to Exclude Microsoft Authenticator App from this Policy but im not able to select this app in CA Policy Config. I tried to use a filter for a device condition "device.mdmAppId -eq "4813382a-8fa7-425e-ab75-3b753aab3abb"" But i guess this attribute is not available to EntraID since Devices are not Intune but Jamf managed. In the Device Sign In Log im able to see the block based on the Application ID for Microsoft Authenticator. Do any of you have any ideas on how to do this?

Hi Everyone I'm wondering if anyone knows how I can prevent students from changing the colour of their apps? I have looked around in the profile settings but can't seem to find a setting to disable that function.
