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?

Hi Everyone,I am looking to see if anyone has a JSON handy for using with Google Chrome on macOS so that we can configure items on it like default home page, blocking chrome extensions & blocking chrome sign in ability ? Thanks in advance :-) 

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?

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 re

I was using Patch Managment to install zoom and when this ran on my workstation I received a  Popup to allow Jamf access to Installer.We are running JAMF 10.41.0 (cloud instance) and I have had PPPC for JAMF agent for a long time.  not sure what has changed.

does anyone have any experience/feedback using google AD?

Hello! I recently took over a Jamf environment hosted on-premise windows, Jamf Pro v10.34.2 and I have noticed a pretty high frequency(over 3000) of errors tied to a child Tomcat service, specifically this error in our logs com.jamfsoftware.jss.exceptions.mdm.InvalidMDMMessageException: Error processing request action:StatusUpdatePlist, CmdUUID:4eecbfdc-625b-4919-b3bc-19d00c3e1d9c, SigVerified: false. Returning 500.  I would assume this is tied to HTTP 500 errors which indicate failed connections due to unexpected conditions, has anyone else experienced issues related to this?Thanks!

I have several Pre-Stage enrollments for devices and ant to make it so that iPads auto enroll in one and Apple TV's Auto-enroll in another.  Is there a function to do this?  I can't find anything.

HiI'm looking for an explanation of the "Dynamic Size" parameter in Mobile Devices>"DeviceName">Inventory>Apps. Is that the volume of data that the app has downloaded?

TL;DR - You can use the recovery key to grant a token to a non-FileVault user (i.e. account with UID 501). Not sure if this is widely known, but thought I share my findings.So our workflow is probably similar to a lot of folks. We utilize JAMF to create a local administrator (let's called it macaddy) account with a PreStage enrollment. For 1:1 cases, we create a standard account in the Setup Assistant with a simple password (i.e. abcd). We then let policies roll out and configure the device, including installing NoMAD. Then we would reboot and let FileVault enable. From there, we would get with the user and sync their AD password using NoMAD. And that's it. Before we started using NoMAD, we were AD-bound, and it was causing headaches with passwords and FV syncing. So that's why we made the switch. We also recently started taking advantage of Prestage (I know we're pretty late) to make deployments more easier. What we didn't realize is when we needed to troub

We're testing a way to make it a little faster for users when they come in to get their new Mac's. We setup a staging profile, login with that account, we sign in to self-service with the user who will be getting it, at the prompt to enter local password, we put in the staging password and then run a script that switches the user on the device. We then go in to Jamf and change the user info there. The Mac shows encrypted, filevault 2 is new user and the user has a secure token. We're able to change the password, but when you log back on to jamf connect, it says incorrect password with either the current or staging password. Not sure if there is a way around this.

Hi all,We newly set up Apple School Manager and connected it to Jamf Pro (We have two on-premise Jamf instances running behind a load balancer). Our newly purchased devices are showing up on ASM/ABM and are automatically assigned to our Jamf MDM.On Jamf we set up a prestage enrollment and assigned it to those devices, after a few minutes the devices showed up as "Assigned", however when turning on the mac, it doesn't seem to recognize that it is managed by an MDM, the Remote Management screen doesn't show up at all, and the setup assistant continue as if it was a normal mac setup.The network is working fine so is the ethernet adapter (we use Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter) however, I noticed that all the new devices are in the PST time zone and there's no way to change it (we're in CET)The only workaround is for me to get my iPad out and use Apple Configurator2 to manually re-add the device to ASM/ABM.is anyone else is facing a similar probl

Hello guys,so I want to automate the VPN integration.Currently I have a policy that install the VPN Client pkg. file via policy, but to complete the processI also need to deploy the config file to the Macs and a script that includes the config file to the VPN Client.

Anyone having issues attempting to update Big Sur devices via Policy and using Apple's Software Update server? The policy is not working for Big Sur including intel machines. Attempting to get the latest update (20D74). With the terminal open, it states it downloads. It shows as completed in Jamf within the policy. Also within client history. Yet reboot does not install the update. Mojave and Catalina devices update fine.

Hey gang- Thought I had this one locked up, but was woefully incorrect. I'm trying to put something in Self Service that allows a tech to input a serial number and ticket number, and writes that into an extension attribute for the record.Everything's fine until it comes to populating the EA, then it returns error code 400. I'm assuming the format for the EA input is wrong.I've seen a few articles doing the same thing on JAMFNation, but they're a little on the old side, and some of them have unanswered questions.Here's what I have so far: #get device serial number serialNumber="$(osascript -e 'display dialog "Please enter the Serial Number" default answer "" with title "Serial Number" giving up after 86400 with text buttons {"OK"} default button 1' -e 'return text returned of result')" echo "serial number entered is $serialNumber" #get the ticket number ticketNumber="$(osascript -e 'display dialog "Please enter the Ticket
