I have MacBooks and iMacs (both M-series and Intel) ranging from macOS 12.3 up to 14.3.  We have lab computers and do not want students signing with Apple IDs or using the App Store.  I've created a Restrictions config profile with both "Apple ID Preference Pane" and "App Store" disabled.  I login with a local admin or standard account and it will show it locked down (sweet!).  Then you close system preferences/settings then re-open it, and there is the ability to login, as if the configuration profile isn't even there.  Reboot and do it again, then its back to restricted... then not.  This is clearly broken.  The App Store also opens right up every time... So what's the fix? 

My org has set up Jamf Connect to sync passwords between my local account and IdP. I do not understand the rationale here, as the 1st rule I ever learned about passwords was to not share them between accounts. Can someone either explain the logic or perhaps link to some relevant docs on why this is a good idea?

Hey everyone ...trying to install a package to all my fleet, it got installed successfully on all of them except 1 Mac !!"Installation failed. The installer reported: installer: Package name is XYZinstaller: Installing at base path / installer: The install failed. (The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. An error occurred while running scripts from the package “zyx.pkg”.)What does that mean? why only that endpoint!?

When typing serial numbers that almost match a real word, Safari autocorrect jumps in and makes the correction. You end up not finding the device you are searching for and have to go back and make the correction. Possibly hitting ESC to avoid the change.Also happens when typing student names that might have variations on spelling.Frustrating because are typically focused on the left side of the screen after typing the search text and don't notice. Sometimes you jump into the habit of hitting escape to avoid the issue. But most of the time, you don't.There is a way to load the HTML field so that auto correct is turned off.It would be great if Jamf School turned off autocorrection in search fields, especially if they could be capturing serial numbers.input autocomplete="off" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" type="text"

Greetings all,Is the Jamf One app for iOS obsolete?  I hadn't used it in quite a while, and when I tried today it gives a network connection error.  In investigating, I don't see it on the App Store anymore either...

We want to manage New Users with a script upon enrollment and disable iCloud Drive in the Finder Sidebar. Does anyone know the defaults write command for that? No command works for us. Thanks a lot

Hey guys. I have a website we use that asks for a client certificate from the users. I'd like to auto-accept it in Safari and are pushing these custom settings with the SCEP certificate, but it wont work in Safari. We are using this documentation and it works for the TENANT.vmwareidentity.eu. I can get Google Chrome to auto-select the certificate. This is the custom code that I'm pushing <dict> <key>Name</key> <string>WEBSITE HERE</string> <key>PayloadCertificateUUID</key> <string>UUIDHERE</string> <key>PayloadUUID</key> <string>UUIDHERE</string> <key>PayloadType</key> <string>com.apple.security.identitypreference</string> <key>PayloadDisplayName</key> <string>Identity Pref</string> <key>PayloadVersion</key> <integer>1</integer> <key>PayloadIdentifier</key>

Hello Everyone, I am testing out a new enrollment process and testing different use cases.I seem to run into an error every time when I enroll a device with a user who DOES NOT have a Jamf Pro Account, within the Jamf Pro Console (Account Users and Groups setting). I able to enter my SSO credentials and complete MFA, but after that step, the enrollment Management Screen just hangs, doesn't move forward in the process. Is this expected? I was previously told by Jamf Support that the Jamf Pro Console account should not be a factor, but it looks like it is? Any help would be appreciated, thanks! James Rodgers

Hi there, Does anyone know of an app (preferably tied to Jamf) that is capable of hardware diagnostics? i.e temp, storage limits and general performance related variables.  

OOI, does anyone know of a way of deleting existing icons uploaded when creating Policies?Have a couple of duplicates/redundant icons that I'd like to just tidy up.

hello all, does anyone know how to disable remote login using a profile/policy 

We are having an issue with Secure Tokens.JAMF creates an admin account by default, which is created before setup assistant and almost always the fist account we log into. From my understanding, the fist logged in account is the one that gets the secure token. However, in many case (not always) a generic standard account we push through policy is the one that gets the token. This causes issues with running updates and changing passwords. I am able to resolve it through a series of terminal commands but wondering what is causing in the first place. I originally thought it was an issue with Catalina but am still seeing it currently with Ventura.     

Here everyone - please go and vote for this in the feature requests.  It is annoying to have to spend 1/2 the day logging back into Jamf and waiting for the page to load.   https://ideas.jamf.com/ideas/JN-I-27272

 Dear allI have created some guidelines in Jamf.These also work, but unfortunately only when you click on "Install" in the Self Service Portal.Is there a way for such policies to be installed automatically without having to proactively click on Install?Information about a policy:Policy: Disable IPv6- General:Trigger: Enrollment CompleteExecution Frequency: Once per computer- Restart Options:Reboot Method: Standard RestartStartup Disk: Current Startup DiskNo User Logged In Action: Restart if a package or update requires itUser Logged In Action: Restart if a package or update requires it- Files and Processes:Execute Command: networksetup -setv6off "Wi-Fi"- Self Service:Button Name: Install Do you have any ideas?I would be very happy.Best regards

Here is the script I started using from Jamf Nation:  Parameters:  Error:   I found the Waiting Room and I had to give myself permission to view the folder because I don’t have access    The agent file is there.  But it fails to install.   Is there anything I should do?  It is failing on all of our organization's Macs. 

We have 100 MacBooks that we manage with On-Prem Jamf Pro.   We have seven (7) different VPN servers that our users can choose from to connect to the company's network.  Jamf is working normally on all machines EXCEPT for the MacBooks connected to our NY VPN server.  For the 5 people on the NY VPN server, they all have Pending Management Commands stuck for weeks, maybe months.  I clear them out, but they come back and go Pending indefinitely again.  Even the built-in commands (like InstalledApplicationList, SecurityInfo, ContentCachingInformation, ContentCachingInformation, CertificateList) are stuck Pending as well.  I cannot send any Configuration Profile to any of these machines on the NY VPN.  But the same Config Profiles work everywhere else.  I don't think that re-enrolling them in Jamf is an option since they are all working from home and also because the "Allow MDM Profile Removal" was not checked in the PreS

Just updated our jamf cloud to 11.3 and noticed that I have a whole load of config profiles now in 'No category assigned'  Prior to the upgrade all our config profiles where in the correct category.  As we have a pretty robust naming convention this took only a little bit of work to get them back where they should be.. but... better things to do!   Any one else? 

I'm testing management of mobile devices in Jamf Pro and have just user enrolled a mobile phone. Looking to test the remote lock feature if a device is lost/stolen, which worked flawlessly, but now I can't find any way of unlocking the device. Would have expected the Lock Device button to switch to an unlock option, but that hasn't happened, and I'm not finding any documentation on how to unlock a lost/stolen device should it be recovered.How am I suppose to unlock a locked mobile device in Jamf Pro?

Has anyone attempted to perform policy updates or installs to computers that are in cart(s) asleep and lid closed? I notice the computers check-in while in this state, therefore, why not push updated policy at night when no one is around?

Hello,Has anyone successfully been able to connect to an 802.1x wireless network from the Jamf Connect Login screen while being unbound and using the ADCS Connector? If so, please share your Network/Certificate payloads. Edit: After configuring this myself and helping many others with this issue, I've created a simple guide for those of you that need help below:1. Configure one of the following:A. ADCS Connector (expensive)B SCEP PKI Cert (inexpensive)2. Add the PKI Cert to your Jamf Pro Server.3. Learn how your Radius server authenticates. (username, hostname, serial, etc)4. Configure a Wireless configuration profile that contains the chain of trust for your radius server the ADCS/SCEP cert and trust these certs. The profile most also contain your wireless payload.5. Deploy the profile.  How to configure ADCS: https://youtu.be/oRkpkN1Z3aIHow to configure SCEP: Integrating with DigiCert Using Jamf Pro - Integrating with DigiCert Using Jamf Pro | JamfOpen a tick

Hi! I've been asked to create a configuration/policy/etc that allows full access to the Mac, but also deletes all stored files upon logout and becomes a fresh OS install. Guest Mode only allows access to safari, which is insufficient for our needs. I've been looking around online for a while but perhaps I just don't know the correct search terminology. Anyone created a policy like this before that creates an account on the Mac that wipes itself of stored files and cookies etc when you log out of it? 

The last two versions of Cisco Secure have had caused a weird issue in our environment. On random machines, we're getting a popup message (that locks up Finder until acknowledged) with the text "The VPN client agent was unable to create the interprocess communications depot" every 30 seconds. Looking around online, we found this was caused by Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) being enabled. Thing is, we don't enable ICS, and the machines we're seeing it on don't have ICS enabled. My first thought was our installer was bad, but we're just doing the standard choices.xml for the install and applying their provided temp workaround for the macOS 14.2+ launchagent issue. /usr/sbin/installer -pkg ./Cisco\\ Secure\\ Client.pkg -target / -applyChoiceChangesXML ./Cisco-Secure_choices.xml# Temp fix for macOS 14.2 and 5.1.0.136if [[ "$( sw_vers -productVersion | awk -F '.'

We are attempting to implement the Australian Government’s ISM controls and we are required to satisfy these:1171      Attempts to access websites through their IP addresses instead of their domain names are blocked by web content filters.649         Files imported or exported via gateways or CDSs are filtered for allowed file types.Can jamf do either of these?  If so, please point me to a page/link that explains how.
