Looking at Computer Extension Attributes in Jamf Summary… at the end of every bash script is says ” Windows Script …” Just trying to figure out what that is about and should I be concerned about it at all? This does not show up when you look at the Jamf Pro editor for the script.   ========================================================================================== ID 4 Name ............. Last Reboot Enabled true Type .............

Hello!We have run into an issue with one of our profiles disabling communication to internal services, JAMF Pro and/or Apple for app downloads prior to completing initial enrollment for enterprise network policies.Is there a way to delay or stall a single configuration profile from installing until after a specified trigger (time idle, last app to download, rename, next restart etc.) for an iPad? Thank you

I've rolled out several new iPhones in the last week and the configuration state of iMessages is completely inconsistent from device to device. These are all phones that are the same model, same IOS version, same department profile. Some show iMessages in the settings app as editable to toggle on and off. Others show it greyed out. And the ones that have it greyed out, it's greyed out and enabled on some, and grey out and turned off on others. I have not been able to see any pattern in the behavior. In fact, I deployed 2 phones to people in the same office with the same work roles. The phones were set up at the same time, same model, same IOS, same department/profile etc. Both have the iMessage toggle greyed out. One is enabled and the other is turned off.Unless I am missing something, this is problematic because unless a message sender specifically sends a bare bones SMS message, the recipient will not receive it until iMessages is enabled. I have checked the status of the setting bef

Hi, I'm new to Casper (hi) and I'm a bit confused about the Policy FUT and FEU options. Do I just use Composer to capture user-level preferences etc. from whatever account I'm logged into, then create a DMG from the result, or do I have to place user items in a particular place? Is it possible to mix user files and non-user in the same DMG? Sorry for the silly questions, but this doesn't seem to be covered in the Casper manual. Cheers, a|x

Hello!I am a relatively new JAMF admin in my org, but have been with my organization for almost 10 years most of that in a helpdesk or Desktop support role. I work in a K-12  organization. For most of the time I've been here, after every summer we often have high number of iPads (close to 20%) that just drop out of communication with our JAMF pro instance (on-prem) and have to be reset and re-enrolled to be properly managed again.  I've gone a few rounds of support tickets with JAMF without much headway until a recent ticket that I opened. The support tech noticed that our APNS push certificate is getting renewed around the time that we come back from school and it was hypothesized if we renewed the push cert more towards the middle of the school year that all of the devices would have time to get the new MDM profile.  Does this make sense? To me, because the topic code string is the same on the old cert and the renewed cert, the iPad's shouldn't have to g

The company i work for (as a contractor) is requiring me to install JAMF on my *personal* laptop and iMac because of "compliance requirements". While i would usually refuse on principle (since these are my own devices), i am enjoying my job so i'm not really planning to challenge it.As these are my personal devices, i do my banking and have my personal data on them so i'm wondering what can they actually access through JAMF. IT told me they will not have access any personal data, and that i can continue using my personal AppleID but after reading what i could find online, i am starting to doubt that.Another reason is they are refusing to buy the apps i purchased that speed up my work, but they don't consider essential. So if i create a new AppleID, i would lose access to my music and all the apps that i use daily (both for work and my own use).I wonder what is the actual capability of JAMF and what will they be able to access. Will they be able to access my photos, browser history, rec

I am managing a few software titles through the JAMF Patch Management, but I'm unable to update the Definitions on my own. One of the titles has fallen a bit behind. Foxit PDF Editor is now on version 12.1.0.1229 and the last definition update was for 10.0.2.1028 from back in January. It now being late March, is there a way to update those definitions?

I'm looking for a way to remove photos and videos from an iPad without doing a full wipe. We have iPads at our 2nd campus, but they are all pre-DEP and it would be nice to be able to just clear unnecessary data from them at the end of each term without having to do a full wipe, then drive myself there and configurate them all and log in to them again.

Hello,Can you please tell me how you manage MDM Capable Users with Jamf Connect?We use Jamf Connect but on all of our computers the Capable Users MDM is empty.This is very problematic, because no more VPP applications, no more user level configuration profiles, etc...Our devices are enrolled DEP, MacOS 11 or more recent.The un-enroll and re-enroll solution is not acceptable with us, we have hundreds of new computers per month.I'm amazed that it's so complicated for such basic and important things.Thank you for your help

I have been trying to update patch policies today and when I edit and save the definitions, they are not saving. The interface also looks like it has been updated. Tried on 2 different Macs and no luck.Anyone else having this issue?

I'm currently experiencing difficulties in installing the MuseScore deployment package through Jamf Apple Device Management on MacOS Ventura Version. I have tried multiple installation methods, including using a Jamf Pro policy and manually installing the package through the command line, but the installation process keeps failing with various error messages. https://fmwhatsapp.one Here are some additional details about my setup and troubleshooting steps:I am using Jamf Pro version 10.32.1 and have created a policy to install the MuseScore deployment package (version 3.6.2) on multiple devices running MacOS Ventura Version (12.0.1).I have confirmed that the package is compatible with the Ventura version of MacOS by testing the installation on a few individual devices outside of Jamf Pro.I have also checked that the MuseScore deployment package is properly signed and notarized by Apple.When attempting to install the package through the Jamf Pro policy, the installation process

Our users routinely snarf things up playing around with printers, trying to add home printers or change queue names to work with Printopia; or things just get hosed. I'm working on a Self Service policy to blow away the printers and re-add all those scoped to the user. When I do this manually, I use the "Reseting printing system..." option accessed by right-clicking the printer list in the System Preferences pane. Is there a way to invoke this action from the command line so that I could script it? In 10.4 and 10.5 there was a PrintingReset.sh script in the Printer Setup Utility bundle, but that tool is gone in later releases. I'm aware that I can simply kill the queues via lpadmin and reset cupsd.conf, but I think the OS is doing a bit more to "fully" reset cups. If you watch the system log, clicking "reset printing system" invokes printtool (found at /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/PrintCore.fra

We have used LDAP enrollment for years, but im wondering if preload would be easier and save classroom time the first week of school. So I have a couple questions-1) With LDAP, it uses their Active directory usernames. But- does it actually just pull the information from AD and then create a jamf user based on that information?2) If #1 is true, then I assume preload is basically creating those Jamf users and assigning a device to them without the need for an LDAP pull?3) If those Jamf users are created in #2, then will the ipad automatically enroll and start downloading apps when it is turned on for the first time? Or will it still ask for some information? (language, time zone etc?)Essentially- every student in the building seems to have some method of "wiping" their memory of usernames and passwords over the summer, so im hoping that the preload can "auto-assign" ipads to them so they dont need to recall their username and password the first week of school to get going (and also simi

Afternoon jamf nation.Just looking to get some insight, into how you are all dealing with restricting preference panes in macOS Ventura.I have created a config profile with a few bits I want to restrict.While most of it seems to work it's breaks the ability to remotely manage it via VNC.I think it has something to do with what Apple have depricated when re designing system preferences. I have raised a call with Jamf, they have confirmed it is product issues but that's about all. We are moving to jamf cloud soon so hoping that will better experience. 

Hi all,Anyone know if it's possible to have entirely passwordless login to macOS using Jamf Connect and Okta? Would like to use TouchID and/or MFA Okta Verify Push.Thanks!

In the midst of testing and we have a Mac at the client site that was not properly assigned to a department when DEP enrollment completed (and the department being blank meant that the computer was out of scope). Since Enrollment is the only trigger, I'm trying to figure out another way to push all of the policies that should have fired under normal circumstances. Due to the lack of mass-editing functionality in Jamf, I'm not really excited about the thought of creating Self-service versions of the same policies or making dupe policies with only that machine in scope. Is there any non-destructive way to make JSS think that the device just completed enrollment so all of these policies will fire?

Hello all,Just wanted to know if anyone here has taken the Jamf 100 certification exam. I've been studying for about 3 weeks and wanted to know anyone's experience taking the exam in the past.Also I would like to know how accurate is the practice exam compared to the actual exam.

It is possible to use installomator with jamf cloud and not jamf pro server ? 

Hello all,    I've tried difference scripts (bash and AppleScript) but none seem to work for me.  Basically, (and I see this has been asked a lot but varies), I would like for any user that logs into the Macbook, connect to their smb share AND place that drive as a shortcut in either the Locations (in Finder) OR Desktop.  Users should not be prompted for their username and password.  Here's what the smb path looks like:smb://servername/Userdata/UserName/My%20DocumentsWhere UserName can be any user that logs in to that Mac device.  But do not prompt for username and password if possible.  If password is a must, then I'll take whatever I can work with.

We have about 50/50 M1 vs Intel chip Macbooks.We are using Jamf Connect as well (not sure if relevant)We have a standard Admin account created and loaded for every computer during prestage enrollment.We are not able to run the MacOS Ventura Installer on the M1 macs because it does accept the Admin credentials provided. These same Admin credentials are working for installing apps, etc. The update does work if you switch to the mentioned Admin account on the computer and then run the update.The update has none of these issues for the Intel macs. I can run the update from the user's account using the same Admin credentials. Anyone know why the M1 would not let us run this update from the user's standard account, even providing the correct Admin credentials?

Hello Team, Is it possible to create a recovery partition on mac clients via a JAMF policy? We have few mac devices where recovery partition is missing and FV key too. I want to reissue those FV key to escrow in my JAMF console. Any idea will be appreciated.

Hey I want to achieve the following. If a certain local user logs in to open a terminal window and show the jamf.log file.What I have done so far create a policy. with the trigger Login that executes a script that looks the following  #!/bin/bash# Check if the user is sadminif [ $(whoami) = "admin" ]; then# Open a new Terminal window and run 'tail -f /var/log/jamf.log'osascript -e 'tell app "Terminal" to do script "tail -f /var/log/jamf.log"'fi the policy is executed when user "admin" logs in and gives no errors but there is no terminal window being opened and displays the jamf.log fileI dont know where the error is or why it won't work!? How can I achieve this?
