My question is very simple, is it possible to search for files in my clients' recycle bin? With EA or politics?

Hello all,My team and I are new to Jamf and trying to clean up the profiles of our predecessor. Recently our Big Sur lab devices have been having issues with their login screen--in the local system preferences you can see they are toggled to Name & Password to allow all network users to sign in, however, they keep switching to a login screen where there is a list of local users and no option for new sign ins. It can be temporarily fixed by signing in and out of our admin profile to come back to the normal sign in. So I made a config. profile for all network users sign in with Name & Password with a display message but when I moved it from my test group to a device in the lab, it only displayed my message from the new config. profile but still showed a list of users. Obviously, I know it could be an issue with the new config. profile but I tested it on a completely new device that I manually enrolled and it was successful. I'm thinking it could be conflicting with an o

Hello,I would like to install ANyDesk on my client workstations and to do so I need to give my users disk access permissions in the system preferences.How can I do this?

When we all went home when Covid struck, I had a day or so to setup some local accounts for people to use if their usual logins failed. I created both a standard and an admin account. These were pushed out via Jamf and setup on all computers we have on our instance. Now that things are slowly returning to normal, I am wanting to remove these accounts from some computers that no longer need them. I have found that just removing them from the policy doesn't remove the account. Is there a way to do this? I assume I will need a script of some kind. If there is a way to do it through the GUI, that would be best...

Hello,We have a fleet of computers, each with an administrator session and a user session. The latter is the one that is used.I would like to change the password of the admin session. I have tried using local accounts but the change does not work.Can you help me?

I have a file that I created in Automator that essentially points the user to the proper share on a storage server. I do this as there are many different departments, with multiple shares per department. I have the file created in Automator, then wrapped up as a DMG in Composer. I then send it out via Jamf, with both FUT and FEU checked. This is working as expected.Recently, we had to change the server. In doing so, the path is ever so slightly different than it was before. This is facilitating me to need to update those "links" and redistributing them. I have thought that I could just do what I did before and make the change, wrap them up in Composer, and distribute them via Jamf with FUT/FEU checked. On my test machine, this made duplicate links on the desktop. One for the old server, one for the new server. How do I overwrite the existing files on established users and update the User Template? Did I miss something when I created the updated DMG?

Learn how to provide your users more detailed feedback when updating inventory via Self ServiceBackgroundWhile conducting some internal training earlier this week, one of our TSRs asked: “Is updating inventory where the blue circle just spins and spins but doesn’t appear to do anything?”“Yes,” was my deflated reply.Hopefully after implementing this script, you’ll never have to be asked that question again.Continue reading … Update18-Oct-2022Version 0.0.3 introduces a “debug mode” for auditing Extension Attribute execution durations.

I am reaching out to see if anyone is running into the issue about SSO not working on Beta Versions in Ventura. Thinking this will work when fully released? Not sure if this a normal when testing the Beta OS's. Ignore or Cancel it still prompts right away or sometime after 15 mins or so. AppSSOAgent looks like is not even running since it keeps quitting. Any Ideas be helpful, thanks

Hi all,We have one iPad Air 2 which is connected to JamF School and successfully updating, sending profiles, apps etc - but it's stuck in Lost Mode. We've tried the Disable Lost Mode command, and it goes from Pending to Sent, then to NotNow. Has anyone seen this before and been able to get a device out of Lost Mode? We've tried clearing the restrictions, clicking clear pass code, restarting the device multiple times - but it's still in Lost Mode. It auto-connects to the WiFi on restart and pulls down the latest profiles from JamF - so it's not a connection issue to the server. Is there any way we can find out what NowNow means?! Thanks, James

I just want to change our password policy to 12 characters length. And we wanted to to know who it will affect. Meaning if I have a password that is 16 length will it make me change it. I Wanted to see if there was a smart group or attribute that we can make to make sure that it won’t affect the people who have more than what is needed. Also I wanted to know if I do change the policy will it only affect new users or make everyone change it.

We installed ARD for several new hires and in one instance the set of buttons that include UNIX are greyed out.This was installed using the App Store which claims 6 installations under "Family Sharing" but doesn't seem to list machines like I see for my iCloud.I don't think enabling Family Sharing is the fix since the problem machine wasn't the most recent installation.Any ideas?

We have enrolled a good number of macs without the Prevent user from enabling activation lock setup in our pre-stage.We will be turning this on in the pre-stage, but for existing Jamf enrolled macs we will be using a mass action: Disable and prevent Activation Lock remote command. Is any way to verily on the mac that the command is working and user is prevent from activation locking the mac? I see in Systems information it a says activation lock is disabled but I want to confirm the user can not enable it by logging into icloud.

Good morning,So I'm not that familiar with certs, but we are setting up ISE system, and we need each machine to have its own trusted cert from our PKI.  While i use JAMF I'm not that familiar with Certs. I have read trough the below, but still not sure how to push out a Unique trusted cert to each MAC. I have done things with JAMFs internal CA for the mac but never an PKI.https://docs.jamf.com/10.25.0/jamf-pro/administrator-guide/PKI_Certificates.htmlAny Documentation or resources? EDIT: I did find the below. Would Setting up AD CS allow us to generate a Unique Cert Per machine? https://docs.jamf.com/technical-papers/jamf-pro/integrating-ad-cs/10.40.0/Distributing_a_Certificate_Using_a_Configuration_Profile.html

We use DEPNotify pretty heavily for onboarding. I do have a custom script I have been using for almost 2 years now. We had the 12.3 issue so we removed the python line from all of our scripts.  Now the registration screen is showing blank all of a sudden even with the default script from here. https://github.com/jamf/DEPNotify-Starter/blob/master/depNotify.sh and the latest version of DEPNotify.  Just shows Register the Mac now with no textbooks or no dropdowns very similar to the 12.3 issue but it is getting the appropriate current user. This happens confirmed on MacOS 12.5 and 12.6 \\ 

Hi everyone,I just enrolled devices into a Smart Group in JAMF Pro but I did not mean to. I did it via adding a new criteria and adding everything that wasn't already in the group. Does anyone now how to undo this or at least how I can go through the group and manually take out the devices I don't want in the SG?  When I go into the History tab in the SG, I can see what I've done:ID 4 Name .................. EFB iPad Prestage Type Smart Group Membership Criteria ... 'Enrollment Method: PreStage enrollment' is not 'EFB iPads'

Safe and secure Mac management worldwide The world has changed during COVID times. Nearly all of us work at remote locations for multiple days a week. Our devices travel along and pop up at any location anywhere on earth. And also, because of the general availability of the internet, this behavior is now generally accepted. As Apple admins, we must think about managing Macs and rethink which switches to flip. We have already covered a lot of security policies: our devices are registered in Apple Business Manager, they are managed in a device management server, we implemented security policies based on CIS benchmarks, and we enforce FileVault encryption — just to name a few steps we already have taken to increase the level of management and security. Apple admins need to keep all devices as secure as possible, so next, we decided to rethink those local admin accounts. No account, no risk These are accounts on the Macs with a — hopefully — secure password and administrative acce
