Hey Folks,Curious if anyone has found a way to automate emails to users based on a Smart Group membership? Examples of things we’d like to notify users of:Your internal storage is at XX% of capacity, here’s what you can do about itYour laptop hasn’t checked in to Jamf in XX days, please turn it onYour computer hasn’t rebooted in XX days, please reboot Right now, admins are getting emails from Jamf based on criteria we prioritize (eg: ‘storage almost full’), or manually checking Smart Groups once a month, and emailing the users directly.I know you can email group members via VIEW -> ACTION -> SEND EMAIL, but that’s a manual process, and we’d rather automate it. ## I found versions of this feature request on JN, and confirmed with Jamf that it's not currently part of the product in 2023.2016 post: https://community.jamf.com/t5/jamf-pro/alert-system-user-on-smart-group-change/m-p/1416392013 post: https://community.jamf.com/t5/jamf-pro/automated-emails/m-p/10530
Hi,I'm trying to get Jamf connect working with Google. We can connect and update the local password using the toolbar application, however when logging out of the device it will load a Google sign in window and when signing in to this it produces an error "Configuration is nil or invalid". Any ideas as to what I'm missing? Thanks
Has anyone been able to make a Code42 CrashPlan installer in Composer? I'm trying to do that for version 10.2.0 of Code42 and it fails. I notice that there are some Code42-related files that change after the installation is done, so I'm thinking that Composer might not be making an accurate "after" snapshot. I can give more details if someone wants. I'm just wondering if there is anyone who has gotten this to work, and, if so, what they did to get it to work. Thanks. --Jeff
We were testing our Apple Business Manager and Apple Configurator 2 enrollment. We have a few MacBooks that were not added to ABM when they were purchased and need to be added via iPhone Apple Configurator2. I was able to add the macbook into ABM but now when it gets to the Remote Management screen it gives an error stating "Enrolling with management server failed. unable to connect to the MDM server for your organization. "Usually when we enroll a new mac and is on ABM this section has no issues connecting. PreStage enrollment seems to be setup properly and never had an issue. Is there a difference for the remote enrollment when the device was enrolled into ABM using Apple Configurator2? Is this something to check on Jamf Pro or on ABM side?

Hello,I am very new to JAMF and have an issue with Installomator, I am trying to use it to install several apps. I have created smart groups for each app one that will see if the package is up to date or not installed and another for the members of that group so I can use it in the policy.In the policy I have it set to deploy the app name that I found from the github package list, every app that I try to install this way fails and gives me an exit code 4 error;2023-01-27 06:26:32 : REQ : adobereaderdc : ################## End Installomator, exit code 4 Error running script: return code was 4.I am not sure what is causing this error for the packages I am trying to deploy, any help would be appreciated!?Thank you
Hello, I'm IT manager in a school with 1000 ipads.Many students inadvertently click on the "download all" button. It often saturates the ipad.It would be great if the button could be disabled in Jamf School.Thx.
Any youtube channels or website where I can practice and learn scripting or get practice scripts to run and see how they work. Thanks
Hello, We have an older version of Sophos in our install package which will not install for any device running M1 or M2 chipsets. This has been patched by Sophos but I need to get our current Sophos installer updated. After some research I determined this will be a two step process. One step is targeting the 27 enrolled devices are are missing Sophos through a configuration profile and a Static Computer Group. And the second portion is updating the install .pkg. When I follow the directions from Sophos it says click the 'Filename' file that is a .pkg file and upload, and then do the same with a Manifest File. After downloading the macOS Sophos installer it is 3 file folders and the only .pkg file in any of these folders or sub-folders is a file called InfoPkg.Pkg. Am I supposed to just rename this to something like "SophosInstall.pkg" and upload as Filename?! And should the manifest file be a .plist extension?
I'm new to this so I'm sure I making mistakes. We recently setup Jamf and Jamf connect. Now users can log into their Mac using their AD credentials. When a user is added to Jamf our installer set Jamf up to convert that users from a mobile user to a standard user. The problem is that as a standard user if you open terminal and use the id command it will only report back local groups not AD groups. The users access to certain network shares is based off of AD groups. If I force the user to stay as a remote user then all their groups are retained. However if the remote user changes their password it does not automatically sync. I feel like I'm missing something basic. I would like users to be able to login with the AD credentials and have all their AD groups and be able to change their passwords and have it sync. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Hey,I want to collect the information from our Mac Clients, if the automated software update check is enabled. The BASH Script for this action works locally on my Mac and I get the correct information when used in Jamf Pro as an EA. But all other Mac clients do not report anything back ... the Software Update is managed by a configuration profile, any ideas? Thank you! #!/bin/bash ########################################### # Check Status of AutomaticCheckEnabled # ########################################### AutomaticCheckEnabled=`/usr/bin/defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate AutomaticCheckEnabled` LastDateCheck=`/usr/bin/defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate LastSuccessfulDate` if [ $AutomaticCheckEnabled -eq 1 ]; then result="Yes" elif [ $AutomaticCheckEnabled -eq 0 ]; then result="No" else result="Unknown" fi echo "<result>$result - $LastDateCheck</result>"
Hi all, I'd like to uncheck OTP for users (app: Yuibkey Manager) for users. Otherwise, once touched, OTP will generate random numbers and bother users. Here is an ex: cccccbctnbhgchgnnrnhhlibtknenrceddfgjfndfifvGuide: https://support.yubico.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013714379-Accidentally-Triggering-OTP-Codes-with-Your-Nano-YubiKeyissue: Any idea how to make it happen ?Thanks,
We have a question!We have for example 10 classes 5a,6a,7a, etc. with every same 71 teachers and diffrent 28 student per class and one teacher Group names NE16514teacher (see screenshot). All 71 teacher are Member of Group „NE16514teacher“ and Managable Groups 5a,6a,7a, etc. for Jamf School Teacher & Classroom App.So, if we put under a Member Group "NE16514teacher" teacher to catgegory „Teacher“, we could’t see all classes in the classroom app but only under Jamf Teacher. But if we move the Teacher from category „Teacher“ to „Students“ (see Screenshot), than it works and we can see all classes in the Jamf Teacher App and in the classroom App.Why is it so?FYI: In the screenshot you see the teacher Simon with "owner device: 0"please ignore that. We tested with the teacher and "owner device: 1" with the issue.
I am putting this out there because JAMF support has washed their hands in assisting us. We integrated JAMF Connect with Azure AD recently and are currently testing. The issue we are having is that Azure, and our MFA setup in Conditional Access, is requiring users to log in at EVERY restart. It also is requiring password verification after authenticating. As you might imagine, this would cause some inconvenience to macOS users, especially if their means of MFA authentication was not at hand: phone, Microsoft Authenticator app (iphone or ipad) or other means. MFA does not work this way for anything else requiring it. It is only required once per app, per device, until there is a password change. Support suggestion was to exempt macOS from requiring MFA, essentially. This did not go over well with our Sys Admin who is heading the rollout of our MFA requirement. This is a real frustration as JAMF Connect was touted as a solution for AD authentication, ability to provide zero-touch d
Hoping to get some assistance from the knowledge of the JAMF Nation. I am struggling to remove an individual configuration profile, that was installed manually, via the command line. Testing on Mavericks 10.9.1 currently. Used the profiles man page and this: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/profiles.1.html Commands I've tried: sudo profiles -R -F /tmp/profilename.mobileconfig sudo profiles -R -p profileidentifier sudo profiles -R -p profileidentifier -U username No dice so far. Use case is that a profile is installed manually and it needs to be removed without removing all profiles. Any thoughts out there? Thanks!Ben
I have a goal this quarter to deploy Jamf Connect. Things are looking great and working. However, I have one big questions that I'm just not sure about.If we don't use the menu bar (which we don't because we're not on the right Google Workspace edition, and therefore it cannot be configured). Will the local password still sync with the Google Password if it's changed? I'm testing this and while I can log in with my new Google Password, I'm then prompted for the old local password, I thought maybe it would update, but so far, it still asks to verify with the old password.Does it eventually reconcile so the local password is updated to be the new Google Password or is this what the menu bar is for?
Has anybody created a presentation for their staff that explains WHY you're moving to Jamf? We're a non-profit org of 200 staff members who are mostly remote working and are moving to mobile device management. I don't want to reinvent the wheel if somebody has already created a presentation that explains why the move to Jamf and the benefits of an MDM. Many thanks!
I am in a healthcare environment and we are configuring the devices with Jamf Setup and different profiles based on the user login.I am trying to deploy some webclips but I am finding when users change profiles the webclips are multiplying each profile change. What am i dong wrong?
I am trying to deploy MuseScore 4 in self service to allow a lab of Mac’s to download the application. I first made it available via a policy, and the base package taken from MuseScore. The package would fail to install on my test device. It would download, and then just fail. I then went and made a package using composer(taking a snapshot>installing the app>opening app>finish capture>create package). I then deployed THAT package in self service and got the same results. I have done this so many times with other applications, what am I missing with this one? Have any of you successfully deployed this app?
Hi all, Is anyone having issues with users changing their AD password with NoMAD and macOS 10.15.5? The error we sometimes get is "Configuration file does not specify default realm." What I have done to resolve this in the past is simply reapply the NoMAD Config profile to the user's machine. With 10.15.5, I've found that reinstalling NoMAD is sometimes necessary. However, I have one user who is still getting the error even after a new reinstall of NoMAD and after reapplying the config profile. Has anyone else encountered this?
Beginning 02 February 2023, GitHub Atom 1.63.0 and 1.63.1 is no longer available.For detailed information about this change, see Action needed for GitHub Desktop and Atom users from the GitHub Blog.Jamf restored Github Atom 1.60.0 as the latest version available in the Jamf App Catalog. You do not need to take any action if you distributed GitHub Atom 1.63.0 or 1.63.1 using the App Installers service. Jamf will automatically distribute GitHub Atom 1.60.0 to computers in your scope.
Jamf connect installed on devices. Not binded to AD.User changed their password on a windows device. When they go to a Mac and try to login, the message stating "network password does not match your local password. Please type in your old password to sync.".What do you do if they don't remember their old password? Trying to deploy a password change for the local account through jamf has been unsuccesful.Is there a way to auto update the local password without having to type in the old one?
I want to install JAMF Connect on Macs that will have Multi-User. FileVault is enabled, we use Okta as our IDP, I tried every possible key and attribute and the JAMF Connect screen only appears after someone logged in from Local then JAMF Connect appears or when someone Log Off. It defeats the whole purpose of having JAMF Connect. I mean we want anyone to login into the computer even tho they never logged in before and for that we need JAMF Connect to show up after restart but it doesn't.Any solution please??
I am working on an Update Script to get our fleet of Macs (M1/M2/Intel) upgraded to Ventura. I am using swiftdialog to notify the users that they may need to input their password and erase-install to actually run the process. I have tested it on 3 or 4 Macs (Apple silicon) and the process worked without a hitch. However, on my last two test machines (we have a variety of hardware configurations) the process fails.I added the --overwrite and --cleanup-after-use flags but they do not seem to help. Any idea what I am missing Here is the script command I am using../Library/Management/erase-install/erase-install.sh --reinstall --os=13 --update --overwrite --current-user --min-drive-space=60 --check-power --depnotify --cleanup-after-use and here is the error in the log...Result of command:[erase-install] v27.1 script execution started: Mon Dec 12 08:16:10 CST 2022[erase-install] Caffeinating this script (pid=1207)[check_free_space] OK - 447 GB free/purgeable disk space d
I am starting to see users have issues where all of a sudden they cannot sign into their devices. Jamf Connect states their network password is incorrect. No password changes or anything. They can login elsewhere fine (Windows machines, work email on personal phones, etc) but just not their Macs when they are prompted to sign in. I have seen similar questions asked on here but none seemed to have an answer. Hoping maybe someone may know whats going on.
