Hello community,we are using jamfschool to push wifi profiles to our iPads.What settings in the restrictions tab are best practice to prevent sharing these connectionsor to show the password?thanks
Hello,we are a school with many iPads that are managed but also able to be privatly used by the students. For this we allow parents to use the Jamf Parent app. We have currently an iPad that keeps getting a profile installed that restricts a lot of the apps and other functions as well, basically rendering the iPad almost useless. I have talked to the parent who installed the app and he said "something went wrong" and he had to uninstall the app and now he cannot set up it anymore after reinstalling. When trying to rescan the QR code by the parent, the parent app says: "This device has already been added to the overview page" (translated from the german: "Dieses Gerät wurde bereits zu ihrer Übersichtsseite hinzugefügt").This is a snippet from the activity log:It seems to me as if the jamf server keeps thinking it needs to install the profile without the parents app issuing the command. Can this happen? If I manually clear the parents restrictions on the device it is in fact c

Hi allIs there any way that we can find out what is the current Apple ID on the Mac ??
We are attempting to build a compliance dashboard for senior leadership. One of the top compliance items is that macOS be up to date. That criterion is defined as that the endpoint must be on the latest patch and version of macOS within 30 days of release. What we need is a data source that we can poll for the most recent version of macOS and when it was released so that we can feed the logic in the dashboard.Has anyone put together something like this, and if so, what did you use for the data source for the current version and patch level of macOS?

I bought a MBP last year that came with Monetary OS installed. During setup I connected to the internet just fine with no issues.A year later I upgraded my computer and was going to sell the one I got last year, I went to do a full wipe of the drive and install Ventura OS. Upon setting it up and connecting to the internet I was presented with a message stating my device can be configured my Netflix remotely.I am curious as to how initially I never saw that message then when I go to upgrade the OS now my device is somehow MDM locked?Of course I have no way of contacting Netflix IT to resolve this as I feel this is some mistake. Is there any way to get this unmanaged or removed? When I continue with the setup it takes to a screen where at the bottom I can see different servers like jamfcloud as if its trying to connect and then it brings me to a screen to sign in to google, if I do that it just errors out. My only way to bypass is to not connect to the internet but I had to downgrade bac
Hello, I was wondering if any knows of a way, if it's either scripting, or making changes to the PPD file, to automate the process of configuring a printers Department ID? We are deploying a Canon copier, that is locked with a department ID, and the settings do not seem to stick, when I upload the printer to Jamf, even though, I am setting them locally, on my computer. Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated! :) -Loren
I'm trying to automate Department ID configuration for our Canon MFD's deployed. Composer says that changing the department ID modifies the PPD file for that printer, however I can't seem to find where in the PPD file this is being changed. Has anyone had any luck deploying printer payloads with the Department ID included? If so how? Help.

In our Mac classrooms we would like to standardize the right-click (as secondary button) feature on new user accounts, without having to manually make the change on setup. I'm attempting to do this with a JSON Schema affecting com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plistSo far, I've had no success. Can someone with some experience take a look at the schema and configuration profile and let me know if I'm making any simple mistakes?JSON Schema: { "title": "Enable Right-Click as Secondary Click", "type": "object", "properties": { "Button2": { "type": "integer", "title": "Secondary Click Button", "description": "Set the value to 2 to enable the right-click as a secondary click." } } } Plist Preview: <?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>Button2</key> <in
Our machine certificates are formatted by hostname.domain.comWithin the certificate payload, should I use CN=$COMPUTERNAME.domain.com or CN=$HOSTNAME.domain.com? I was hoping I could do it by DNS name only - but the Certificate payload requires a subject.

I use a Policy that runs the script below to name our MacBooks to the machine's S/N that runs after enrollment and lately it stopped working. It might be since Ventura came out or one of the revision, but I cannot confirm. I can run the commands manually so they commands haven't changed. Any suggestions would be great. #!/usr/bin/env bash# Get the Serial Number of the Machinesn=$(system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | awk '/Serial/ {print $4}')# Set the ComputerName, HostName and LocalHostNamescutil --set ComputerName $snscutil --set HostName $snscutil --set LocalHostName $sn
Have issue with Sophos signed mobile config profile. Have uploaded the mobile config file provided by sophos into jamf and it works fine. I need to add the profile to another site but I can not clone the profile (which is fine) but when I try to upload the mobile config file to the other site it will not let me. I am assume since it signed and its name can not be changed this is why it would not let me upload it to another site?
Hi, We are using QR codes to open websites but some do not work through Safari and want to know if you can change the ipads to open chrome by default, i know you can change it in the settings but want to know if i can change the setting globally.
I have been working on this all day and cannot find a way to make this work. We want in our IT lab, to show ALL filename extensions for all users. Essentially, if we use the com.apple.finder.plist for the user template and enable it for one user, it is set for true. However, when we use this as our basis, new users logging in have it set to true, but the filename extensions is still unchecked in Finder preferences. There must be a trigger for this I am simply missing or overlooking. Has anyone done this successfully? Thanks for any insights you can offer me. Mick

Hello Team,This is with regards to MAC performance testing .We are in process of streamlining and identifying a tool which would help us to benchmark MAC system performance across various models (PREFERABLY A LICENSED SOFTWARE) and various enrollment plan changes .Basically, we need a tool to benchmark system performance like CPU,GPU and Disk speed (Read/Write) after the every change we make to our environment.Can anyone suggest on the tools that we can use.Thanks,Manivannan
We have been through multiple phases launching Jamf Pro. We began on Jamf Now and migrated many users and now we are enrolling directly onto Jamf Pro. In the process, we discovered that a number of computers do not have Activation Lock Bypass configured. I have searched for ways to resolve this without success.Is there a Configuration Policy or Policy I can create that will enable that? If so, I am all eyes/ears.

Hey all, I'm looking to restrict our users (K-12 students) from enabling Full Keyboard Access in System Preferences - Accessibility - Keyboard. I've identified the plist key value, FullKeyboardAccessEnabled and FullKeyboardAccessFocusRingEnabled, created a plist and set the -int to 0 and uploaded it to Jamf in a profile with Application & Custom Settings. While I'm used to custom .plist files "graying out" the option to enable/disable items, this one doesn't seem to do anything to restrict the user. Thoughts? This would only be a temporary management profile to get our district through state testing. I don't like locking down Accessibility options, but a request has been made.
