Currently Running:iMac 21.5"macOS Big Sur 11.7.2 When attempting to log in, we receive a pop-up screen from "Managed Software Center" it has the loading bar bouncing back and forth and it is attempting to install "HPPrinterDriverxxx.dmg" and perform "Postflight Tasks..." Our postflight tasks are running jamJAR v1.1I have removed the HP Printer Driver from Munki and any other places it might be trying to pull from. But we are still getting this pop-up message at the login screen attempting to mount the DMG (HP driver) and perform the postflight task. Sometimes it's on the postflight task in the "Managed Software Center" pop-up.This pop-up is preventing users from logging in because it is stuck on a loop. It will disappear for a couple of seconds and then reappear. Restarting the computer resolves this issue for about 15-20 minutes but then the problem presents itself again.We have attempted to completely re-image these machines from JAMF to no avail. Removed any policies/packa

Hi All,Wondering if anybody else is seeing this. On two Macs running Sierra - one is on latest 10.12.1 beta, I'm getting a Killed: 9 error when trying to create USB install media using createinstallmedia command: $ sudo /Applications/Install macOS Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Install macOS Sierra --applicationpath /Applications/Install macOS Sierra.app Ready to start. To continue we need to erase the disk at /Volumes/Install macOS Sierra. If you wish to continue type (Y) then press return: Y Erasing Disk: 0%... 10%... 20%... 30%...100%... Copying installer files to disk... Killed: 9 I can run the command over and over, sometimes it is killed immediately, other times after a few mins. Can't find a single thing in the logs about this. Any ideas? Just me? Thanks!Matt

Hi everyonei'm trying to understand the best way to configure Jamf Protect with our jamf instance. I set up a smart group in jamf to alert users about security issues and that works fine.Unfortunately the jamf protect documentation is a bit incomplete imho. What are the next steps i need to follow? Any suggestion or guide to suggest?Do i need to manually remove the mac from the smart group?Jamf Protect has some removing capabilities or i need to clean the mac manually?

created a new policy for a 2023 version of some software. Tested new policy in prd in a limited scope. result=successThen widened the scope of the new policy to include the actual production machines. In the logs for the new policy, I'm seeing results from the old policy. it shows completed but the dates caught my attention so I looked at the details and sure enough it's the logs from the previous policy for an earlier (2019 software version) package install.  

Is anyone having an issue enrolling machine this morning?I get this error right after the remote management page, This Service is Temporary Unavailable.

Greetings Jamf Nation denizens, I've recently tried to begin utilizing Patch Management features within JAMF Pro but have met some issues. I'm attempting to use the automatic distribution method instead of administering it through Self Service. I have confirmed that the Patch Policy has a defined scope with an eligible machine, but it remains stuck on "Pending". In this particular example I'm trying to update Google Chrome. Upon reviewing the logs, it appears a patch policy called just called "macOS" is being distributed to the device. This particular patch policy is titled "Google Chrome Patch Policy" so I would expect to see that being pushed in the logs.  There are no Patch Policies set up called macOS in our JAMF Pro server. Other Patch Policy logs show this same policy. When running a sudo jamf policy command on the machine, it returns the "No patch policies were found" message, and remains "pending" in JAMF Pro. Is there a way to fully reset or flush

Hi,Have a few computers with Visual Studio Code installed. Users do not have admin rights on the computers, And should not have this. Now the users want to run the debugging process in Visual Studio Code. But they are prompted to write credentials to be able to run Developer Tool. Users need to be part of Developer Tools group to be able to run this. How do I solve this from Jamf Pro ?

Hi,I need some suggestion for local account creation using Jamf Connect Prestage. I am using Azure SSO part for account creation. Now all the local accounts are created with Admin privileges. I am planing to bring admin restriction in place. No one get admin rights from the beginning. I am using below Jamf Connect Config profile to create local account. I need some suggestion to make changes here, by default users creation should be without admin privileges.-----------<?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>CreateJamfConnectPassword</key><true/><key>EnableFDE</key><true/><key>LAPSUser</key><string>admin</string><key>OIDCAdmin</key><string>Admin</string><key>OIDCAdminAttribute</key><string>roles</string><key>OIDCClientID&

Im trying to create a self-service policy with a script that will disable the "smart quotes" system setting but am running into issues getting this to work.   defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticQuoteSubstitutionEnabled -bool false   Above command seems to work fine when using it on my local device but when trying to use this command in a jamf policy, no luck. any ideas on how I can get this to work? Thanks in advance. 

Godo evening,a quick question, please: One of our applications is available as pkg installer but also as a "Jamf App Catalog" application in the Devices > Mac Applications tab. My understanding is that for the Application install pathway I can "enforce" updates via a configuration profile for System updates (or it should be enabled as the specific app says "Auto update disabled: no" whereas for the pkg installer I can create a patch management with subsequent definition of the latest package and a corresponding Patch Policy. The pkg pathway has the benefit of more granule scoping, however I am wondering what the general consensu on best practices is here?

Hello!I'm trying to use VPN Idle timer for mobile devices in Jamf Pro. After setting Idle Timer parameter for "1 minute" example, after saving configuration profile, Jamf sets this back to "Do not disconnect". Does anyone have ideas why Jamf doesn't save my option correctly?

So I have been looking for a way to have an extension attribute that reads all of the email address inside outlook and in mail. I am new to this and still learning on how to make things work and write code.  If anyone knows of anything that could even help me out I would appreciate it a ton.

xpath is not super intuitive. Maybe I can clear up 1 tiny little thing here...First, a resource I go back to again & again: Xpath cheatsheetSecond, xpath is a querying language. It can look complicated, but, a way of simplifying it is to think of the syntax as an analogy: exposing xml data as a "file system" & the thing you want to "get" as a "file". Your xpath query is the "file path". Elements, in the analogy, are "folders" with stuff in them: one thing, many things, etc. E.g., you might want all IDs for some object in Jamf Pro (let's say policies) so maybe you tried: curl -Ss -X GET -H 'accept: application/xml' -u "$apiuser:$apipswd" "$jamfurl/policies" | xmllint --xpath "//id" - | tr '</id>' '\\n'​ Not great because you are stripping the xml data structure & tr often outputs strange results.Then maybe you looked at the xpath cheat sheet or took a Jamf course & discovered the magical text() command which strips xml tags! curl -Ss -

Hello, I've been using Jamf Pro at our school for a while. We manage approximately 350 iPads that are loaned to students.Occasionally we will put a device into "Lost Mode" if we need the student to contact us for some reason.Now our problem: If the lost mode was activated and the students switch the device off and on again, there is no longer a connection to the WLAN.Now I can't turn off Lost Mode and have to do a full reset via iTunes.Is there any other option? Can I connect the iPad to the computer running Jamf Pro with a cable to unlock it?If I reset the iPad, all of the student's notes are gone. He didn't make a backup.

Hello, I'm checking out the 'Hardware and Software History' logs in Jamf Pro for a Mac that's experienced some issues with the NIC. I read the documentation for how to use the logs, but it's unclear to me how to further investigate something that's listed in red (a piece of hardware that changed during an inventory report). Does anyone have any insight on this? Is there a way to view more specific logs?

Can anyone tell me the benefit of going with Jamf's Cloud solution over On-Premise? I keep seeing plenty of issues with cloud based setups but haven't seen anyone running into these issues with on-premise.

Good day all,I have one of our developers looking into our Jamf api. I created a user account for the dev with full administrator permissions. They are able to make calls to the Jamf Classic API but not the Jamf Pro API. I have the same access and am able to make calls to both. Any ideas?

Hello, We deployed SHA 256 Network Security Settings through configuration profile but after 12.6.2 update the configured ssid not showing to user for connect. crosschecked and all setting are correct.Is anybody having same issue.I could not understand what could be the possible reason.Thanks in advance

We had a really weird hiccup the other night - On the evening of the 13th I sent a command to our lab Macs to update to macOS 12.6.2.  I did this as I've always done in the past - by going to their smart group, viewing it, clicking "Action," selecting "Send Remote Commands," and then selecting "Update OS Version," "Specific OS Version," "12.6.2," and "Download and Install the Update, then restart."  Of the 80 computers I sent this command to, 65 of them successfully updated to 12.6.2.  Then, of that 65, 27 updated to 13.1 on their own.  At first I thought I may have accidentally told them to upgrade to 13.1, but If I look at the Hardware and Software History, I can see where they updated to 12.6.2, and the next entry is them updating to 13.1.  (That and the fact that many of them ended up on 12.6.2 as was desired)Needless to say, this is not good - our labs were held back on Monterey for various reasons, and now we'll have to wipe and re-provision 27 Macs.&nbsp

Hi everyone,I'm a quite new mac System admin. We would like to manage properly identity on Apple devices. Because bind mac to AD bring some hassles and some are out of our network (don't reach AD).So we're looking a product that provides identity from our hybrid environment (Active Directory + Azure Active Directory). Most of our environment is Microsoft but some VIP and departments ( Graphic Designer ) use Mac. We saw that one of last version of Jamf Connect can manage hybrid identity.I found some feedback but not enough with hybrid environment. What do you think about this product ? Do you know an alternative because it's a bit pricey 2$ / month / Device. Our environment:- Hybrid (Active Directory + Azure Active Directory)- Office 365- Adfs 3.0 will upgrade 5.0 soon (may be not possible with 3)- MFA Azure- Active directory authority for local resources (Printers, file servers, wifi,...)- Intune- Apple Business Manager (just few Macs)- Couple Macs bound to AD others are "Free"&nb
