Does anyone know of any good Speech-to-text app suitable for elementary and middle school students?Thanks,

Hello Everyone,I was wondering if there is a way to setup classroom without having to create user accounts for students and teachers?  We really on use iPads for 5K and 1st Grade. 

Hi Everyone!does anyone have any idea why the managed iMovie app will say its installed on the device but not at all appearing on the home screen nor listed under apps in the settings page? The user had originally decided that they would install the app themselves but it kept asking for an apple ID.I uninstalled the app and sent it to the ipad using jamf.Jamf reports that the app is installed but it really seems that it hasn't done so. Has anyone come across this? How did you solve it?The iPads were bought this year (2021) and are iOS 14.4 and 4thGen iPad. I have tried removing the app, resending the app.i did a "check media status" where it supposedly checks the status of the app on the device, on the app and that too came back with all green ticks. Is anyone able to offer any pointers? i have added a few screenshots in one image file below. Many thanks for any help to solve this.

What is the Bundle ID for the built in Screen Mirroring? I'm trying to enable just that function on our student macbooks and I can't figure out how to allow it through the firewall. All computers are running MacOS Monterey 12.4 or better. 

We are working through a rollout of 802.1x and so our iPads will shortly be using Device Certificates in a configuration profile to access the network.One section here has ~30 iPads that they use for outreach and so want to have the ability to erase user content (browsing history, photos, etc) without wiping after a group of kids has used the iPads.Currently the devices are not managed but they can be added into Apple School Manager via Apple Configurator and so become supervised and assigned to our Jamf Pro serverThere is no logon currently on the devicesIf I erase them, then they lose their network connection so it will all have to be jumpstarted by using my phone as a hotspot to get access back to the server - not a great solution for the end users. Is there some sort of way to erase user content without erasing the device?

Hi,We are in early stages of iPad refresh for staff. restoring from backup from their 2018 deviceThe new devices are assigned to a new prestage.If a staff member restores from the backup made on their old device, then DEP proceeds as normal and device is managed. If a staff member has an issue and moves to a second new device, then the backup from the original NEW device to another NEW device completely skips DEP and the device is set free.I could see a fix for this might be to create yet another prestage and move them once ALL are activated but that might take some time and would likely have ramifications for smart groups etc. Also a pretty big HOLE in the meanwhile, is this expected behavior? if it is it is terrible.

Hi there, Whats the easiest way of clearing managed devices from Jamf and freeing up licences?Thanks

Is anyone out there willing to provide a script that can be used in a policy to prevent Citrix Workspace to open every time you log in to the device?  I came across this post and removing the 4 items does instead stop this from happening.  I'm just not that handy with creating scripts. Thanks in advance. Jim  

Does someone have a custom configuration profile to just Defer Updates on macOS? I rather not have to deploy the full Restrictions Config Profile to Defer Updates since that seems to end up controlling too many other things that we don't need controlled (or grayed out). 

Hey everyone, Does anyone know if exporting a list of 'Packages Installed By Installer.app/SWU' shows macOS patches? I see the following in the list, but I wanted to confirm:-com.apple.pkg.InstallAssistant.macOSMonterey (which I assume is the upgrade to Monterey)-com.apple.pkg.CoreTypes.1500A19 Thanks! 

I have been trying to reclaim some app licenses from some ipads so that I can use the app on some newer devices instead but when I click on 'Revoke' I get this message:"Failed Something went wrong while trying to revoke this license"Even if I un-enroll the device I still cannot get the licence back.The app is 'Hairy Letters'Any ideas? Thanks

At our school the most iPads are iPad Air 2 and they have few years yet working. We didn't remember if we registered the iPads with any iTunes account and now, I restored an iPad with the last IOs version and I get a stuck iPad because it is locked and we didn't remember the account used, as the message didn't show all the account name. Any idea that we can do, change the iPad to shared and restore again maybe? Thank you very much

Hi all,I am trying to install GlobalProtect on our Macs via Jamf Pro. I have GP installed with no issues and have the policy to set to configure the default portal. This all works great; however, the problem is, during the installation, GlobalProtect is not installing 'GlobalProtect System extensions' (see linked picture). Without this, I don't have a working VPN connection. I tried a few things I found on https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/, but nothing works. It works fine if I manually install GlobalProtect and check this box. If I deploy the package with Jamf Pro, the box doesn't get checked, and the VPN doesn't work. Any ideas?

Hello dear forum,We are using Tunnelblick to establish a VPN tunnel. We distribute Tunnelblick directly when setting up the device per policy.For the newer Macs (from M1, AppleSilicon) it is necessary to install the Tun & Tap extensions for Tunnelblick.This requires to restart the Mac in recovery mode and to change the security policy in the Startup Security Utility (see screenshot in the attachment).Since this requires admin privileges and I only create a hidden admin user via pre-stage, if I do this manually, it shows me here that there is no admin user.My question is therefore, whether it is possible to change the security policy via configuration profile or script to via Jamf to reduced security without that a manual intervention is required.Preferably the Tun&Tap extensions should also be approved automatically.I had already created a configuration profile, but this did not lead to the desired success (see attachment).Tunnelblick uses the following Tun&Tap extensions:-

Hi Everyone,Has anyone else had issue with the white screen issue when trying to sign into teams on macOS?  I have created a clear teams cache job on Jamf Self Service portal which fixes the issue but seems to reoccur often and ideally would like to find out the root cause to stop it from happening if possible. Any advice would be appreciated :-)

Hey guys, Not sure if any one else has run into the “NEW PROFILE DOES NOT MEET CRITERIA TO REPLACE EXISTING PROFILE” when enrolling devices via DEP. At the time of writing, I haven't found any straight forward documentation around fixing this so I wrote an article that should help: https://create.ps/index.php/2018/12/24/fix-new-profile-does-not-meet-criteria-to-replace-existing-profile/ Pete

Anyone deployed Notion app successfully? I'm trying to place the app in self service so a non-admin user can install since it requires moving the app to the users application folder. After running from a few test machines the app installs successfully from self service but fails to open saying its not installed properly. So far i've built the installer from composer by DMG and PKG and made sure root and wheel are selected.

We are using Powerschool as our SIS.  We have the plug-in running for Apple School Manager.  The students sync fine, but we have always had issues with the class not working in Apple Classroom.  We have the teachers create them manually in JAMF Pro if they choose to use them.Is there a way to stop ASM and Powerschool syncing the classes.  Teachers are seeing both the auto and manual classes show in Apple Classroom and are getting confused.

Greetings! I have this script that uses the API to pull the username that's assigned to the computer in the JSS and then name the computer with it. #!/bin/sh jssUser=$4 jssPass=$5 jssHost=$6 serial=$(system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | awk '/Serial/ {print $4}') response=$(curl -k -s ${jssHost}/JSSResource/computers/serialnumber/${serial}/subset/location --user ${jssUser}:${jssPass}) real_name=$(echo $response | /usr/bin/awk -F'<username>|</username>' '{print $2}' | cut -c1-11); if [ "$real_name" == "" ]; then echo "Error: Username field is blank." exit 1 else /usr/sbin/scutil --set HostName "$real_name" /usr/sbin/scutil --set LocalHostName "$real_name" /usr/sbin/scutil --set ComputerName "$real_name" fi I think the problem is with: real_name=$(echo $response | /usr/bin/awk -F'<username>|</username>' '{print $2}' | cut -c1-11); ...but I'm not sure what needs to be fixed in order to get it to print the just username again. Thanks!

Hello,Does anyone know how I can pull data from Okta into JAMF Pro. Specifically, I would like to be able to pull an employees Department attribute from their Okta profile, into their enrolled computers listing in JAMF Pro > User and Location > Department.We use User Initiated Enrollment. All Apple computers, no mobile. Thank you 

Has anyone figured out a way to set the Chrome homepage (with RestoreOnStartup and RestoreOnStartupURLs keys) but allow users to change it? I've been through a lot of posts and it seems like no one has a solution.I thought it would be as simple as pushing a com.google.Chrome plist to the user’s Preferences folder, but it doesn’t take unless you also delete the user's Chrome ‘Default’ preference folder under ~\\Library\\Application Support\\Google\\Chrome. The problem with that is it can remove some preferences set by the user, which we don't want.I can’t use a profile (because we don’t want to enforce it). Also, I would use a Chrome Initial Preference file for this, but that only works for first-time run and we need it to hit existing Chrome users as well.

Hi Jamf Nation, I’m a member of the technical communications team here at Jamf. Our team had some questions about how you use the Jamf Pro Live Known Issues list so we can improve your experience: If you use the Jamf Pro Live Known Issues list, what are you looking for on that page? Do you look for a PI number to track progress on an issue? Or do you search by keywords and the known issue description to find an issue that you are encountering? If you do not use the Jamf Pro Live Known Issues list, why not? Thank you!

Hello All,Im currently tweaking our company restrictions on macOS devices and was curious how others were going about this. I find the restrictions on the macOS side more difficult to sort out because of how its set up as opposed to the IOS side that just lets you turn on one item for a restriction. Specifically iCloud restrictions which in some cases I only want to restrict certain items for a some and completely restrict it for others. Same for software deferrals, since all these live in the functionality tab it makes more difficult to separate. Unless i'm going about this the wrong way Id love to see if anyone has some suggestions or a workflow that has been working good for them. Thanks in advance and please excuse this if it seems like a low level inquiry.

Not sure if anyone else is running into this, but when creating a new local account through Users & Groups in Catalina, that account when logging in receives messages that it cannot access or create a new keychain. If I try to access the keychains folder under ~/Library it says not authorized to access folder, and Keychain Access shows no "login" keychain and doesn't allow creation of another. The fix is to right click on the keychains folder in finder and give the user "read/write" permissions instead of "custom" Logging out and logging back in seems to set everything to normal and then checking in Keychain Access the login keychain is now visible This isn't an issue with the hidden admin account account created during pre-stage enrollment nor the account created during initial setup during enrollment. I've only noticed this problem in Catalina. Our Mojave machines don't have this problem.
