we have a policy to restrict access to "Users & Groups" under system preferences, but we do allow the user to be local admin, and I used to be able to use the following script so users can give themself local admin right from self service, but it stopped working.we are using MacOS 10.12.x (x=3,4,5,6) and 10.11.x (x=5 and 6) and JSS 9.96 does anyone have a different way of creating a self service policy so the users can make themself local admins ? thank you in advance for your help. #!/bin/sh if [ -z $3 ]; then currentUser=`stat -f '%Su' /dev/console` else currentUser=$3 fi # Add the current user to the local admin group on the Mac dseditgroup -o edit -a $currentUser -t user admin if [ "$?" == "0" ]; then echo "Successfully added $currentUser to admin group" else echo "ERROR: Unable to add $currentUser to admin group" exit 1 fi exit 0

 Is there any known issue or someone faced the issue?  

The Jamf cloud team is working on an effort to improve the infrastructure of the Jamf Pro cloud environment. This is part of a continued effort to always provide you with the latest features that are available from our Amazon Web Service (AWS) environment, most notably to improve reliability and scalability to reduce environment downtime and better serve you as a Jamf customer. As an incremental step in this process, we are planning to migrate all Client Sandbox Jamf Pro cloud instances on Saturday, December 10, 2022 which will require a small outage of any Sandbox instances. Note: this will NOT affect any Production instances. Thank you

So my new job uses Jamf Pro according to the policy. I was wondering if the policy description is all Jamf can actually do. Currently it does not say it is allowed to capture my screen. Does this mean it is impossible for jamf to capture my screen unless the policy is updated and sent out? I'm just trying to figure out what Jamf can and can't do and if I can figure out exactly what it has permission to do on the system.

Hello, Does anyone here already tried disabling password manager option in chrome using JAMF?

I'm wondering if anyone has a solution for upgrading Python? Our Vulnerability scans are picking up a vulnerability with older versions of Python on a number or our mac machines. It appears Python 3.9.4 resolves this. When I install the package for 3.9.4, it installs, but leaves the older Python Launcher folder in /Applications, and I assume some framework stuff elsewhere? I'm not a python user and am afraid to remove that older folder out of fear(and also believe there is more to python than just that folder) of "breaking" something. We have a lot of dev users in our environment. Thanks for any input on how to accomplish this upgrade.

Hi everyoneCan someone suggest me a good script to change my mac's name to "username-serialnumber" ?Thanks

I thought I'd post this here in case any one ever needs it, as we've had quite a few issues getting this working!If you don't know what Komprise is, then check out their website.Essentially, it's a data management/migration/archiving solution that can do things like take any data that hasn't been accessed in 3+ years and archive it off to cheaper storage, leaving a symlink in its place. When the user then clicks on that symlink it goes off and retrieves the data.To get the symlinks to work you need an Automounter Service installed on client devices. For Windows we didn't have any issues getting it installed, just deploy the package. However for macOS we ran into a few issues.If you try and make a package in Jamf Composer it won't work. The after snapshot doesn't pick up some files for some reason, and we went back and forth with this before finding there were some files missing that stopped things from working correctly.The trick is (much like FortiClient), to deploy a package before t

Any advantages in using a custom trigger to trigger policies vs. using their IDs? Just curious if I can skip a step in adding all the policies I want to call in the script a custom name when they already have an ID attached to 'em. Thanks!

I have a large amount of iPads I am trying to enroll. All of them have already been changed to jamf in apple school manager as the MDM, and the enrollment profile was setup during the training, however, i've suddenly started running into this problem that wasn't happening before. First it happened on just a couple yesterday, and now today it's happening on all of them.After connecting to wifi and tapping next on remote management, iPads are now suddenly asking me to enter my credentials for my university. I have tried my apple, LDAP, and jamf credentials but none of them work. The "require credentials for enrollment" checkbox is off in pre-stage and were never on. These iPads were previously enrolled in an apple profile manager server and we are erasing them all to move to jamf.Any help is greatly appreciated.This is the same problem it seems, but no answer: https://community.jamf.com/t5/jamf-school/error-when-enrolling-ipad/m-p/245610

Would just like to see some input on how other manage adobe CC Normally the Adobe RUM take care of the updates within the version like version 21.2 to 21.3But how about going from 21 to 22 that needs a new full installer, as adobe does not seems to have a normal update mechanism for that So create the package at adobe admin console. But do you then unpack etc this package or just keep it as it is and upload to jamf ? And what communication do you use to upgrade- jamf helper or just self service item? Hope some can give some best practise on this

Many software publishers provide static (non-changing) links that always point to the latest release.Consider this download link for Zoom:https://zoom.us/client/5.12.9.13190/zoomusInstallerFull.pkgIt works, but it always downloads version 5.12.9.13190, even if a newer version is available. Now, consider this download link.Zoom (Intel): https://zoom.us/client/latest/Zoom.pkg As the name suggests, it always points to the latest release. You can use that URL with a Universal Installer script (like the one found here) to create a Jamf policy that never needs to be updated.Similar static links are available for lots of other apps, but they're not always easy to find.That's why I created this thread.  It is my hope that others will share these static links here, so that this thread can be a continuing resource to Jamf Admins.Here are a few more.Zoom (Apple Silicon):https://zoom.us/client/latest/Zoom.pkg?archType=arm64Coconut Battery: https://coconut-flavour.com/downl

Is it possible to have multiple instances use the same ADCS server at the same time? I've been told yes, but the ADCS deployment appears linked to a specific cloud instance. How do you generate an additional client certificate for use with the second cloud instance of Jamf Pro?Or maybe an additional client cert isn't needed?

I am the Mac admin for my company and we are thinking about using the Jamf Connect product. I was able to work with my Ping team and get my test environment setup properly, but I am having some connectivity trouble with setup for my production environment. The OIDC connects and validates with no issues. The ROPG test shoots me back an error message that states"ROPG test failure: Error from request to URL: https://idp.aa.com/as/token.oauth2, ERROR: Unknown error. Message: There are no access token managers available for the selected client and authentication context, STATUS: 400"Does anyone have any idea what this means or what I should have my Ping team try to change/correct for the successful test of ROPG? Any assistance or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Before Ventura was released, we were testing out erase-install.sh and it worked pretty good and updated from to 12.6 pretty fast. We had to set to just install the latest version, but since Ventura is considered a minor update on 12.6, I had to change some of the install options. I added the os option, but the download is now installing the full installer and takes about 1hr and 15min to complete. Below are the options I'm using to install 12.6.1. In way to get this to update faster?/Library/Management/erase-install/erase-install.sh --pkg --reinstall --os=12 --update --min-drive-space=35 --current-user --check-power --no-fs --depnotify --cleanup-after-use 

We have a 'Make Yourself an Admin for 10 Min" self service that stores logs for those 10 min. Issue is I am not sure how to grab them or get them somewhere where we can do spot checks. Is this possible?

We have JAMF Connect and the Kerberos SSO extension deployed and 1 particular user’s sso extension every 14 days seems to disconnect and you can’t reconnect or sign in unless you reboot. Has anybody come across this before? Running 12.6 on an M1 Pro.

Having a bit of a weird issue. So I have this script that pops a notification box open on check-in, and it's working fine, except that it won't display the branding icon in the box. It's probably easier to show than to tell, so see below (executing this script in macOS Ventura 13.0.1): jamfHelper="/Library/Application Support/JAMF/bin/jamfHelper.app/Contents/MacOS/jamfHelper" windowType="hud" description="Insert description here (edited for the sake of this forum post)" icon="~/Library/Application\\ Support/com.jamfsoftware.selfservice.mac/Documents/Images/brandingimage.png" #this path is accurate title="macOS Update Required" alignDescription="left" alignHeading="center" button1="OK" timeout="600" window=$("$jamfHelper" -windowType "$windowType" -lockHUD -title "$title" -timeout "$timeout" -icon "$icon" -description "$description" -alignDescription "$alignDescription" -alignHeading "$alignHeading" -button1 "$button1") What am I doing wrong?

We have deployed microsoft defender via Jamf.

Hi,We mainly use Jamf Connect with Azure AD for staff and student user accounts on our Macs. However, I'm thinking about using a generic local user account for consultants and guests because it is our school's policy to not create school domain accounts for consultants and guests. When I log into the local user account that I created, the user is logged in successfully, but the Jamf Connect login window pops up asking the user to authenticate to Jamf Connect. This login window can't be closed or ignored, unless I disable the setting "RequireSignIn" in the com.jamf.connect configuration profile plist. By disabling that setting, the login window will still pop up, but now I can close the window and ignore it. Are there any repercussions to disabling this setting? How will that setting affect other Jamf Connect with Azure users if I leave it disabled?

Good day When I am sending updates to some applications via Jamf pro there is failed command with invalid status code.  We have license for that application . I am very disappointed about that. I need help to get it function.Thank you for help Regards Richard   

I'm looking for ways to migrate existing machines into our JAMF Pro implementation.  Utopia would have us erase the machines and re-enrol through DEP.  Out thinking is we will do this as part of our hardware refresh cycle.  In the meantime I've been looking at using reenroller (GitHub - jamf/ReEnroller: Migrate macOS devices from one Jamf Server to another.) to migrate existing machines across.  Although the migration is working the MDM profile is not downloaded for the user to approve.  Am I missing something in the configuration or do I have to script a Profile to manually download and open "Self Service" to prompt the user to approve it.Thanks 

Hi All, I am fairly new to Jamf Pro, and I am facing an issue that I am trying to find a solution for.In our organisation, we have approximately 600+ iPads, enrolled in 5 PreStage Enrollment groups, and each group will have anywhere from 30-90apps being pushed to the iPads automatically once they are enrolled. Each group has been assigned a different range of apps to suit the users in their respective groups.As you can imagine, that is a TON of data trying to be pushed through on our network, and we find that if we are resetting any more than 5-10 iPads at a time, it is completely bombing our network.My question. Is it possible to set up self service, to show only the apps that, currently, are being pushed out automatically to the PreStage Enrollment Groups, to not install automatically, and just have the user download the apps they require when they need them,? rather than pushing every single app to the device automatically, where half of the apps might not even get used....This woul
