My company has several application programmers and about a dozen content producer that use Unity3D for designing iOS application and content for those applications. This means that they need to have the Unity IDE installed and maintained on their systems. My users don't have admin access, and Unity puts out patches weekly that have to be deployed. More annoying is their update requires you download a download agent every week and select which modules you want, and it does a fresh install every time. Has anyone found a way to manage this through scripts or self service? I have been unable to figure anything out besides downloading and installing it every week onto a VM and using Composer to make a new package. This is very time consuming though.

When I go to the Reports tab, and click the Download Report button as csv, all I get is the headers no data. Am I missing something?-Andrew 

Mi Gente!!!I don't know where to post this as it's not a JAMF Product issue. However I wanted to share this with the community. Ever since I've I've upgraded to macOS Ventura. My  Wireless Touch ID KB does not work at all. Touch D won't work at log-in or with 1Password as well. I thought his was strange so I N&P™ [starosinstall] and got the same results.Now if I connect the  KB to my mac(hine) [USB], guess what. It works as advertised! It defeats the entire purpose of the  KB being wireless. Especially since I run my mac(hine) closed to get desk space back.If I go back to macOS Monty [12.6 or 12.6.1] the Touch ID functionally works as advertised. On log-in screen and with 1Password.So I have to ask, as anyone else run into this as well? If so hit me up.+ Gracias 

Trying to install/update Webroot through scripts in Jamf. We once had a script that worked very well but seems with Catalina no longer works even if it's updated with new links. This is the old script: #!/bin/sh #set -x #Set Keycode for Clients KEY=<Keygoeshere> #Proxy Settings host=X port=Y user=Z password=ZZ sleep 2 clear #Download WSA mac client cd /tmp; curl -O http://anywhere.webrootcloudav.com/zerol/wsamacsme.dmg echo Please wait while file is downloaded and mounted wait 15 #Mount the DMG file hdiutil attach -nobrowse /tmp/wsamacsme.dmg #copy app from dmg to applications sudo cp -R /Volumes/Webroot SecureAnywhere/Webroot SecureAnywhere.app /Applications/ wait 10 #run silent install if no proxy (If running a Proxy Hash out this command) sudo "/Applications/Webroot SecureAnywhere.app/Contents/MacOS/Webroot SecureAnywhere" install -keycode=$KEY -language=en -silent #If running a proxy unhash this command #sudo &#

FYI don't upgrade to mysql 8.0.30. There is a PI110425 for it. Jamf will not run.

We are wondering if there was a way that NoMAD can check previously used passwords and notify the user that the password they are trying to change is a previously used password.

I know iOS devices with JAMF can have Lost Mode enabled. Is there an equivalent for MacOS out there? Primarily, I want to make lost Macs scream and be able to track their physical location. I've done some digging and can't find something myself, so I'm turning to the JAMF community. Any leads would be appreciated! Thanks. 

Is there a way to restrict a major software update other than the 90 day deferred update in the configuration profile?And what about a solution to restrict installing a beta version as system updates?

We have docks that when a Macbook is restarted the external device is not displayed until you reseat the USB-C cable.  I was wondering is there a way to send a command to the device to just check if displays are connected and connect them?I know this sounds like an odd question, but some command must be being sent to the machine when you plug in a device that tells it to look for it, or is this just an electrical signal?Does anyone have any experience with this?Thanks!

I am patching known applications on our MacBook’s at the moment using Jamf Pro, is there a way to discover unknown applications without manually going through the list of installed apps on every single Mac. If a user installs a new application that I am unaware of, how do I find this or get notified so I can ensure it is patched?

I have a customer who uses Jamf Now with the fundamentals plan and wants to push a Card-DAV profile created with Apple Configurator to a Mac.The installation fails because the profile has to be assigned to a user.Is user-channel based distribution of profiles even possible with Jamf Now, or is that not supported?

Hi guys, is it possible to get Jamf logs into AlienVault to setup telemetry? Im using Jamf Pro on cloud 

Hey everyone, has anyone tried to push the new macOS 13.0 Ventura update to the clients via Jamf? I have created a new patch policy also uploaded the .pkg assigned three Test clientsBut unfortunately nothing happens. Do anyone have any idea? The funny thing is that the three Macs are not displayed in the patch management. How do you solve the issue of macOS updates in your company with Jamf? I would like to push the updates automatically to the Macs, so that the user does not have to worry about it.I am looking forward to your ideas and commentsRegards, Alex

We have an exciting update regarding the Jamf Toolkit! During our JNUC Presentation, we launched a new product meant to be a one-stop shop of scripts, tools, and workflows for Mac admins. There was a lot of excitement around this product, and have had a lot of great conversations with people over the past couple of weeks.One of the biggest pieces of feedback we received was, although these tools were all developed internally by our team, many of the original concepts were created by other individuals in the Mac Admin community, which were released free of charge.Because of this, we’ve decided to make the Jamf Toolkit open source! You can now access all of these tools on our GitHub page: https://github.com/Rocketman-TechThe paid subscription of the Jamf Toolkit has the following added benefits:A Two-Hour Onboarding SessionQuarterly 60-minute reviews of your Jamf Pro server and implementation of these toolsThe Jamf Toolkit web portal: https://www.rocketman.tech/jamf-toolkitThe following

Hi There,I have successfully been able to push Kaspersky Endpoint Security and manage to create a connection with our server.I have also managed to add the system extensions to Jamf, however I am still getting one option to allow Encrypted web traffic inspection.Has anyone been able to automatically accept this yet through Jamf?

I've started to play around with the extremely versatile swiftDialog tool.  One of the things that I'm finding most interesting is the ability to provide a progress bar based on contents of a command file.  I've started to think through how this could be used for a scripted macOS upgrade.  It should be easy enough to read from the startosinstall.log file into whatever command file is being used, and the text is fairly predictable throughout.  That said, I'm still new to it and learning how to make best use of it.Has anyone already built out a script to display the startosinstall progress via swiftDialog?
