Just wanted to share this. I've had some specific use case scenarios where people have enabled FileVault outside of Jamf, and it's necessary to decrypt the machine and then perform encryption over again to get the recovery key escrowed in Jamf properly. It's not perfect, but I wrote this script to be used in Self Service by the user. Since the fdesetup disable command requires the user's password, you can't remotely disable FileVault (unless you know a FV enabled user's password or recovery key on the machine, which chances are you won't know if FV was enabled improperly). This seemed to be the next best option in my case so I didn't have to go around to every machine and run it. Tested on 10.13 and 10.14 machines. Cheers. #!/bin/sh # Get logged in user USER=$( ls -l /dev/console | awk '{print $3}' ) # Check if FileVault is already off - no need to run script if so if fdesetup status | grep -q Off; then /usr/bin/osascript <<EOT tell application "System Events" activate displa

I would  like to know how many are using TouchID to unlock their macs.My EA is working pretty good. However, i am not able to exclude who have the fingerprint set but not used. Any idea please? 

HelloI would like to allow network credentials to login for Jamf console and self service . We have already enabled cloud identity provider and SSO but still we are unable to sign in on Jamf console using network credentials . Is it mandatory to configure LDAP server configurations on Jamf pro settings to allow network credentials to sign in on Jamf pro console ? If yes can we use with Microsoft IDP for LDAP server or we need to allow the traffic to onprem LDAP through Jamf cloud hosted server ? . I believe for any cloud or SAAS instances we prefer to use Microsoft IDP with OAUTH2 or SAML SSO for authentication and authorization.

I'm looking for recommendation for scripting installs with Brew to deploy software.  Whenever I try to do an install from Jamf using brew it fails stating cannot be run as a root user or something like that.  I've found several recommended ways do it but never seem to work.

We have an interesting situation.Last year we discovered an issue where about 630 of our devices never renewed their mdm profile, and they are now unable to get any management commands or profile updates.  We have a decent solution that takes about 5 min per device to turn of csrutil and then remove the profiles and then re-enroll, however we have also found that one of the profiles is causing issues for testing that is currently going on.  The profile in question adjusts the "Parental Controls" to try to block adult websites with its content blocker.  We turned this one on back in 2020 and it originally allowed parents of students to use the screen time function.  This appears to no longer be necessary since you dont now need this feature on to turn on screen time, but now since the mdm is expired we cannot remove or adjust this setting without many steps. Im hoping someone in the community can tell me a way to write the plist or a defaults command that can su

Hello all. So I'm witnessing some odd behavior when attempting to scope or exclude computers. I've tried this in both Safari and Brave. I'll select a policy or profile and either include or exclude a device. When I click the edit button, go to "Add" (or remove) a device the bottom scroll bar in the browser disappears. If I zoom out to about 25% of size I can finally click the Add button but this is quite inconvenient. I was just wondering if anyone else had run into this. Thanks

Hello Team,How do I Prevent uninstallation of Symantec DLP Agent/App from all login user on managed Mac?Note:- I'm looking a way that Jamf can control over the uninstallation of DLP.Thank you.

I see there are layouts that can be configured and assigned to devices. I'd like for this to be the initial layout but allow users to change it how they want. Is there a way to apply a layout and not have it be sticky or reapply itself after a user modifies it? Thanks in advance.

 Here's what I'm talking about: I've tried several Configuration Profile configurations and followed the instructions as provided by Cylance, but what's pictured above still appears. For now, we've been manually hitting the "Allow" button to ensure that Cylance fully installs. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hello,I have a couple iPads at remote sites that are signed in with other Apple Ids is there a way to remotely remove the Apple ID with Jamf Pro, preferably without erasing it?

New to Jamf. We're finding that a fair few of our users are no longer checking in on the frequency we've set. Also finding that sending blank pushes etc doesn't seem to be doing anything, so the assumption is they've deleted the MDM profile. Is there a way to tell this for sure without having access to the Macbook itself?

Majority of our Macs are not registered in Azure AD. We have had reports of users getting promoted way too often to MFA. We use Jamf Connect. But I noticed in the Azure logs Jamf connect shows single factor authentication most of the time and it’s successful. Anything related to Jamf connect multi factor authentication usually shows as Interrupted. If we deploy Company Portal and the Config profile to register device to Azure AD. Would that help with the prompts that users are getting? I also see there is a SSO plugin that Microsoft shows as in preview. Could that also help? It does need Company Portal to be on the device as well I see.

I am looking for a way to password protect individual apps on an Ipad. If the user wants to open the app he must first activate it with a password? Has anyone experience and solved the problem?

Is it possible to push the Change Management Logs and Jamf Pro Access Logs to a SEIM like SumoLogic? We currently have a ComputerCheckIn webhook event that's set up to send data to SumoLogic but I don't see an option under the Webhook Event types for the two logs I mentioned above.

I have a whole department that gets a standard wallpaper but I'd like the option to assign device specific wallpaper to devices within the department. If I have a wallpaper assigned to a group of devices and I try to assign a different wallpaper to a device within that group, would one take priority? Or if they are pushed by command, would the wallpaper simply toggle between the two when each push happens?

Hi JAMF Nation, Good afternoon. Just need your guidance on the best way to update SentinelOne agents using JAMF. I am assuming that the "update agents" function in the SO UI is not the way to go for this case. Do I simply change the pkg in the configuration profiles? TIA!

Hey all,Was working on deploying a new macbook when I noticed our configuration profiles were not deploying.I looked in the logs and see this: "The current system configuration does not allow the requested operation"I saw this article from Apple: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212596But I honestly have no idea what they are talking about or how to build or config profiles so they have a "PayloadIdentifier" I assume this is the issue but not sure, anyone else having problems with this?

Hi,I am just bought new Apple changed the Airdrop option from "Everyone" to "Everyone for 10 Minutes". We use Jamf Pro in a huge educational enviroment with the Classrom-App. The problem is that teachers can´t send documents to students after the 10 minutes have elapsed. So every student has to change the setting again after the time period which is not practicable. Any hints to fix that problem or any workarounds? Tell CulversHelp will be appreciated 

The Block policy is not restricting any website, even after configuring the Profiles, and mapping groups in Jamf Radar.Any suggestions?

Hey everyone, When deploying a new Mac using ADE, the user first login with their Azure AD account then they get a prompt to change their temp password so they choose a new password and verify it, after that they get this window : They enter the new password they have chosen and hit "Create account" !! isn't weird that they are getting this!!?Also if they reboot their Mac, you know they need to enter first their FV password to unlock the disk but it doesn't work !!! I had to use PRK to unlock the disk then I got JC login window, entered the password they've chosen and  booom they logged in !so it seems we have an sync issue between FV password and local account password! to solve it I had to go to Users and Groups preference pane and changed the password to something else and rebooted the Mac, it worked!So this is happening i think because when the account signed in first using JC login window with Azure, the user got prompted to change their temp password. when the

I'm just wondering if there is a way to re-read the preferences for a user without logging out and back in.In particular, I've removed a plist file for a user for printer preferences 

Hey,is there a possibility to disable the Guided access? The students are frequently setting codes, which is very annoying...

Should I create smart computer groups for each of my licensed software that I want to keep updated with Jamf App catalog? I am concerned that if I choose all of my managed clients, the catalog will install licensed software on my assets that did not purchase a license. Also curious that if I use Jamf App Catalog to keep Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox updated will it only update the assets that have it installed or will it install the latest version on all of my assets?

We recently got a ticket to install vectorworks on a bunch of managed iMacs. The iMacs are in a video lab, where the only account the student's can use is the guest account. This is causing issues with the license not sticking when the user logs in and out. Has anyone come up with a way to install vectorworks and license it for the guest account? I know Apple is fading out login scripts, but would they work for this? From what I have heard, here are the places a license file needs to be: 'HD > Library > Preferences' “net.nemetschek.vectorworks20XX.plist” 'HD > Users > (User's Home Folder) > Library > Preferences' "net.nemetschek.vectorworks.license.20XX.plist" “net.nemetschek.vectorworks20XX.plist” There is a 2018 folder in 'HD > Users > (User's Home Folder) > Library > Application Support > Vectorworks' Has anyone done anything like this? Thanks in advance.
