Hi everyone,I am trying to create a configuration profile in JAMF pro which will allow us to block connections to a specific IP address, but the configuration profile is showing the option to block only the incoming connections.Is there any way that we can block the outgoing connections to a specific IP address? Thanks

Hi,We would like to get MS Teams to open on startup, i read a post where it suggested to add the Microsoft Teams.app as a login item however that didn't work.  I also see a plist somewhere that had some settings but i couldn't work out how to replicate this in xcode and it wouldn't let me save the contents to a text file and change the extension to .plist.  I know there is a tick box within the app to "Auto-Start Application" but we want to enable this for all users by default. Any ideas on the easiest way to achieve this?  TIA 

HiEver since 13.4.1 update, some of our users are being prompted daily that their is a managed update that is required, when you click it. It checks the update the server and it says your up to date.I originally thought it was Nudge causing this, so I uninstalled Nudge from the affected users laptop, but the prompt is still coming on.Any ideas, 

seem to be having issues deploying 2 packages out of 3 edge seems to deploy ok and will install but i am having issues installing Eset and Datto i am getting the following errors. nstallation failed. The installer reported: installer: Package name is ESET Endpoint Solutionsinstaller: 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 “epi_mac_live_installer (1).pkg”.)I have downloaded the pkg again and install them on my own machine ok 

I'm getting the error "sync failed.  Awaiting next sync" on the ADE page.  I'm also getting a similar error in another MDM we have.  Is there an issue with Apple's ADE sync right now?

Hello everyone, I have been working on this for a long time now. I am trying to install Unity Hub on iMacs in the labs. The application installs fine, however it crashes every time it launches with a crash report. If I run it from terminal using the below command it works fine. sudo /Applications/Unity Hub.app/Contents/MacOS/Unity Hub Is there a way to have this command run every time a user launches the application? At the moment this command only works once when the application is first installed. I have added that command to my policy in the files and processes payload. If i script it i think it would be the same issue where it would run only once and not whenever a user double clicks the app to launch it. Thanks for your help in advance.

We have 2 users who need to use the terminal a lot for their day2day work. With Jamf installed (with firewall policy), opening a new terminal window takes a long time and this time increases. After a reboot it works ok for a while, but gets slower again. When we remove the MDM profile, it works as normal again. Anyone experience with that?

Hi all, been looking around the past few weeks on some information on getting Tableau and JAMF to play nice so I can make use of Tableau's nice visual reporting for our environment. Haven't really found anything substantial. I did find a JAMF Marketplace post (https://marketplace.jamf.com/details/jamf-tableau-integration/) but all the links seem broken, and it looks to be catered more towards On-Prem environments anyway. Wondering if anyone has had experience on using the two together? Thank you!

Hi, has anyone tried to set "export JAVA_HOME='/usr/libexec/java_home'" with a policy/script yet?Or write it into the profile? No success on my side until now :( The installation of the JDK 8u91 package is succeeding without issues.Maybe someone can help me :)

I've raised a ticket with JAMF on this, but some Jamf Nation...clarification... would be welcome. On a JAMF instance there is a configuration profile setup for FileVault escrow. The associated certificate in the configuration profile has expired. JAMF support say to delete the cert and it will auto generate a new one. Before this is actioned, does this sound correct?Surely the cert here is used to decrypt the PRK that exists in the jamf database. If you update the certificate will this not break it? What is the ongoing impact of deploying this config profile with the outdated cert? Ive seen something along these lines before and its ended up with a need to decrypt the Macs and redo FileVault.  

Our Jamf server is no longer getting any inventory updates from our iPads and we can no longer push apps whch all started on 6/3/22.  the Jamf Pro Server Logs shows this error - 2022-06-03 23:54:17,389 [ERROR] [lina-exec-8] [dmControllerProcessorImpl] - Could not create MDMResponseAction, returning 500Any idea what would cause this? 

I want to push a policy or something out to our computers that when they start either Chrome or Firefox it will open two tabs by default. I found a plist command that will open our home page, but can't figure out where or how to have it open the 2nd tab. My plist is below... I got this to open our school home page via this plist. Is there a way to open two tabs when chrome is started? I tried below info but no luck, if anyone has accomplished this, please share what I might be missing or did wrong. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"><plist version="1.0"><dict> <key>DefaultBrowserSettingEnabled</key> <false/> <key>HomepageIsNewTabPage</key> <false/> <key>HomepageLocation</key> <string>https://www.emknights.org</string><key>HomepageIsNewTabPage</key> <

Full disclosure - we're only just getting started with JAMF Pro, so apologies if I've missed something obvious.We want to manage a small fleet of iPads, configured to be in Shared Mode using guest account only (so no data is retained between sessions - important consideration for us).I want to add a webclip / URL to the key web application that these will be used for, and from what I read here (https://docs.jamf.com/10.24.1/jamf-pro/release-notes/Bug_Fixes_and_Enhancements.html) this should now be possible. However, I still get an error in the management console for the device stating "The payload type “com.apple.webClip.managed” is not permitted to be installed for the system in multi-user mode.". Wondering if I'm missing something obvious?Secondly, I have the device smart group supposed to be setting a wallpaper / lock screen on the device, but this doesn't appear to take. The group says the wallpaper command was 'Acknowledged', but it stays on the default. I DO have a setting a

I've seen a bunch of posts on how to set Adobe Acrobat as the default PDF handler on Mac OS, but it seems as new versions of the OS comes out many of these may have broken. We are currently running Monterey, is that any methods that work on this OS? Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have any guides within the past 3 years for getting the dev environment setup for jamf pro? Everything i find online is from 2016-18 and rather outdated. I want to test the LAPS but dont want to enable it in prod incase pulling the password doesnt work. 

We have a Mac which installed the macOS 13.5.1 update in the afternoon at 14:48.This is confirmed by the user as the install.log (/var/log/install.log)In the afternoon at 14:36 a script was running which checks and reads the macOS version. The corresponding policy log says that he still had macOS 13.5 installed at this time (14:36).This is another confirmation that the user has made the macOS 13.5.1 update in the afternoon at 14:48.Now to the unclear:In the Jamf under "Hardware and Software history" it shows that he already installed the update in the morning at 09:54:From where did Jamf get this info?Has anyone else observed this?(We have not observed this phenomenon on any other device)

Hi, I have a few .apps that i need to deploy to users devices. I have created a script that copies the files from a temp location to users/applications however when the app is opened i get a warning saying the app is not trusted etc. My question is what is the easiest way to deploy the .apps and also prevent the warning message from appearing?TIA.

Hi All, Our Macs all reboot when a new MacOS patch comes out. We've had JAMF pro for over a year and I don't think this started till 10.14.1. Our users get a pop up saying 'Updates were installed and the system needs to reboot in 5 minutes'. Oddly enough my machine got the pop up and it didn't install the update. After talking with JAMF support when this happened on 10.14.2 we added restart options to NOT reboot if a user was logged in. That apparently did nothing. Any other suggestions?

How does one request a Safe Internet category change for a site?Example: ducksters.comCategories: Video Games, EducationI block video games, but this IS an educational website. Shouldn't the category just be education, or at least be prioritized as educational? Because I block video games this educational site got blocked. How can we manually change a sites category and/or request that a site be re-evaluated and the category possibly changed? As it is I created a custom allow rule for the site.

Hi All,We have got the requirement where we need to push same day update to all MS Office apps and macOS update. We have pushed MS office apps using a complete package with teams.Thanks
