Hi all - has anyone managed to change Jamf-related notifications (Self Service, Jamf Connect, Management Framework) from persistent alerts to banners on macOS?On our supervised Macs, these are stuck as persistent, the alert style is greyed out, and users can’t change them.I tried pushing a custom Notifications profile (setting everything to banners), but it didn’t override the behaviour while the Jamf automatic notifications setting was enabled.When I disabled “Automatically install a Jamf Notifications profile”, my custom profile worked and switched them to banners - but it broke Self Service (lost the Elevate Admin option), so I had to roll it back.No other conflicting profiles in place.Just wondering if anyone has found a clean way to allow banner notifications without impacting Self Service, or if this is just expected behaviour with Jamf’s default setup.Thanks 👍

Hello,Since iOS 26.2, a passcode is required when using AirDrop, which quickly becomes cumbersome in a classroom setting.Is there a way to disable this requirement via Jamf School? I haven’t been able to find a relevant setting.Thank you in advance for your help.

Hey everyone, I have been going through different posts across here and Reddit, and I could really use some help. I am attempting to use the Jamf ADCS connector to push a machine certificate to a MacBook, which I can get it to do successfully. In the same profile, I have the network configuration in place there as well.   The issue that I am running into is not anything with the certificate/Jamf side, but with the Windows RADIUS server. I have an unbound AD object for the machine created, but I am unsure what I need to do with the object. The machine currently is successfully attempting to authenticate with the certificate, but NPS is rejecting it for error 8 - User account does not exist.   Does anyone have this set up in their environments, and is there a better way to do things? My security and systems teams won't let me domain bind the Mac devices, so I am using Jamf Connect for authentication, and I assume this is also why I am having accou

I am trying to make a smart group to see what computers have the PaperCut Client installed but i don’t see anything in the /Applications/PaperCut Print Deploy Client/ directory that i can select as the .app in the smart group. What can I use create this smart group?   

I’ve read most documentation and searched the forums but I’m having trouble finding out how devices that are assigned to users are kept assigned to users during and after the migration. We have 1200 Mac devices and about 4k ipads that need to keep their assigned user during the migration. We plan to use the migration tool in Jamf Pro. Currently we are using LDAP Username and not email for the user assignment. However each user has an email brought in as well. Should we update LDAP values first in order to make the transition? Would it be better to use the API to pull all devices and users, do the migration, then put them back with new usernames? Any insight into the migration tool and things to look out for also welcome. 

Hey folks,I have something odd on a few macOS devices after users change their AD/Entra password via Jamf Connect and sync it locally.Zscaler asking for auth again / certificate install Outlook asking to sign in again Self Service opens but is completely blank Company Portal acts like there’s no server connection Keychain won’t unlock or accept the correct new passwordThe only thing that consistently fixes it for us:Delete everything in ~/Library/Keychains Reboot Log back in Re‑enroll the Mac into Intune via Self ServiceAfter that, everything works normally again.

Hi, I have deployed a CIS benchmark under Compliance in JAMF Pro, I want to use this to justify how secure our Mac devices are and adjust the rules as needed. Is there a way to generate a report is a CSV or PDF format? having a detailed informations or executive summary options?

I have recently taken responsibility of jamf pro from a previous employee and have never really used it before so this is a learning experience. I have a Macbook Pro on Ventura OS in a computer group with a Staff Restrictions profile applied. This profile is somehow completely disabling Control Center and the ability to set a Screen Saver with the message "Control Center settings are not available. These settings are controlled by a profile." I can exclude the device from the profile and gain access to the Control Center and Screen Saver settings but not when it's applied. I figured these settings would be located under the Restrictions payload under Preferences but I see no such setting specifically targeting these. Does anyone know where / what is the setting that controls these? Is it another name or in another location? What am I missing? I see no specific setting to enable / disable. Thanks in advance

We are currently in the process of implementing Jamf Pro in our company environment. So far, we have successfully integrated several scripts, SMB shares, and other configurations, and everything was running smoothly.As the next step, we attempted to set up Jamf Connect in order to integrate a SAML authentication flow via our Entra environment. The goal was to allow users to log in with their Entra credentials during a fresh macOS installation.However, after configuring Jamf Connect, we started encountering a critical issue. The Microsoft 365 login window appears as expected, but after a few seconds, the entire Mac screen goes black and becomes completely unresponsive. The only way to recover from this state is by manually restarting the device.Additionally, since this issue started occurring, our previously working scripts and configurations are no longer functioning as expected.Has anyone experienced a similar issue or has any suggestions on how to troub

Anyone want to share best practice for this? Blueutil doesn’t work as great/possibly at all in our environment after updating to macos 26.As a workaround I’ve been using the api to send the MDM command in a policy/script to those macs that turn it off. We have an outset login script that manages to lock out bluetooth changing in the control center and system settings, but there’s a short window of 5 seconds or so where students can turn it off before it is locked. 

Does anyone have issues when using JRA with the users that have multiple displays?During a session it will swap between displays automatically, even thought I have auto switch monitor turned off.

We got Defender working on our Macs about a year ago - deployed via JAMF Pro and with configuration profiles. We are not bound to the domain and do not use JAMF Connect.I am trying to follow along with Microsofts documentation (Onboard and offboard macOS devices into Microsoft Purview solutions using JAMF Pro | Microsoft Learn) which seems to be written for setting this up from scratch rather than adding it in to an existing setup. It seems to be doing something as we are getting better feedback under Device Onboarding, but still not making much progress. Here is an example of the details in Device Onboarding  in Microsoft Purview with the error messages before and the more informative messages after I have created the configuration profiles in JAMF from the above guide:

Hey Jamf Nation! With JNUC getting closer you may have noticed that Level Up training options were recently added to the registration page. If you’re not familiar or you’ve never attended Level Up before, I wanted to share a little bit more about these training sessions and what you can expect this year. Level Up at JNUC returns as one day, exclusive, in-person training opportunities that take place the day before the conference kicks off. They will be held at the same location as JNUC, the Kansas City Convention Center, on Tuesday, September 22nd.These learning experiences are supplementary to the Jamf Training Courses like the Jamf 200, 300, and 400 Courses, but you don’t need to already have taken any of those as there are no prerequisites to participating in Leve

Today, Jamf Training turns 20, and the milestone is worth pausing on.More than 40,000 people trained through instructor-led courses. Over 120,000 reached through the Online Training Catalog. 60,000+ certifications issued to IT professionals who've built careers on what they learned here.When we started this journey, the term "Mac Admin" didn't exist. There were no careers in Apple endpoint management. The path you're on today? It wasn't there yet. You, and people like you, built it.Now Jamf certifications are the industry standard for Apple device management and security. The admins who get trained deploy faster, run leaner operations and support their users better.But here's the thing: none of those numbers belong to us.They belong to you.To every admin who took a course before they felt ready. To everyone who earned a certification and finally had the credential to back up what they already knew. To th

We use Jamf Pro Cloud with Jamf Connect (for account creation + Entra ID password sync).After enabling “Use Self Service+ as the default end user app” in settings:Old Self Service was upgraded to Self Service+ on existing Macs Jamf Connect was removed, menu bar now has Self Service+ icon instead On new enrollments, we install Jamf Connect 2.45.1 → now it’s there alongside Self Service+I can’t find clear docs on this — so:Questions:Is Self Service+ intended to replace Jamf Connect completely? If yes, should we skip installing Jamf Connect post‑enrollment? Or should we move to Jamf Connect 3.x? Any official migration guide for 2.x → 3.x with Self Service+?Any experience or official Jamf resources appreciated.

Hi everyone, I’m new here, so if this has already been asked before, please go easy on me 😅 Here’s the situation: I have a client who wants to prevent their developers from losing time every time they switch to a new machine (setting up their development environment, SSH keys, cloning repositories, etc.). Right now, their servicedesk team spends almost an entire morning preparing each device… but here’s the catch: instead of rebuilding the environment cleanly, they’re cloning everything from the user’s old machine. Personally, I don’t agree with this approach. I believe it’s better to go for a clean and automated process: regenerate SSH keys, clone repositories from Git, and configure the environment from scratch. So my question is:Is there any common approach or script within the community to handle this kind of scenario?For example, something that, using the user’s credentials, can generate SSH keys,

Trying to deploy device based certs to Non Domain MacOS devices, which will automatically connect to wifi. We have the following configured: AD (Ghost object created for the MacOS Device) ADCS (separate certificate template created for Mac) NPS NDES When we deploy the cert from Jamf, the cert deploys and installs on the device and I can see it’s issued with the correct template in ADCS. When we try connecting to wifi, we see ‘The specified user account does not exist.  What am I missing? The domain controller is 2016, ghost object created, network policies created, we just can’t seem to bind the cert to the ghost object therefor it does not authenticate. Windows auth is obviously fine via the same NPS server. Any suggestions? 

I was wondering if Jamf Hero’s is still open? Is there a application process?

Does anyone has a way to setup MS Outlook 365 as default mail app? If you want to setup it manually you have to do it in the Mac mail app, although you never used it. I have to send out something to the organization with an mailto: link and I do not want all people calling me to ask why Mail is opening instead of Outlook. Additionally it would be nice to set default programs via config profile in Jamf pro. Thank you for your help.
