I’m testing Jamf App Installers.One of my tests is Google Chrome and the other is Firefox.The other day I had an update for Chrome and received this message: When I checked the version of Chrome, it has updated and is now 142.0.7444.176 (Official Build) (arm64) which matches the version in the App Installers I struggled to find a log on the Mac,  However, there is an item under Jamf Pro → Device → History → Management History on the server and that has an entry InstallEnterpriseApplication - Google Chrome - 142.0.7444.176 18/11/2025 at 10:29 AMWhich is a

I am looking for the code for the Configuration dictionary for IXL iOS app to set the custom domain in the app. There is a setting for it in iOS Settings - IXL. Unfortunately IXL is anot aware of how to set this via MDM commands.

Hey folks, I worked on a script to deploy Autodesk 2026 (the one that uses the named user licenses). We don’t teach Mudbox, so that isn’t in the script...but Maya and AutoCAD is (along with Darwin..what a PIA to get working). I packaged the apps and deployed to /private/tmp/AutodeskApps… I have a lot of logging left in the script as Darwin is a royal pain and can fail at many different steps. I also made use of a lot of variables to hopefully make updating in the future easier. Oh, also did it in zsh.Hope you all find it useful, or at the very least, a good jumping off point!#!/bin/zshset -euo pipefail############################# VARIABLES############################YEAR="2026"TMP="/private/tmp"APP_TMP="${TMP}/AutodeskApps"LOG="/var/log/autodesk2026_install.log"DMG_LIST=( "Autodesk_Maya_2026_1_Update_ML_macOS.dmg" "Darwin.dmg" "AdskIdentityManager-UCT-I

I'm looking to use an extension attribute to list a user's Azure AD group membership status. Once that is identified, I would like to then parse this information for certain data, such as a specific group, and then create a smart group based on this information. Once the device enters that smart group, I can then have certain policies (such as licensed software) automatically deploy there. Has anyone done this? Thanks in advance!

For strong certificate mapping, can two SAN types be used in the Subject Alternative Names field? Official guidance specifies using only the SCEP URI, and although the current configuration with multiple SAN types appears to work, it seems unreliable, as I’m seeing additional certificate-selection prompts. This change was made while I was out, so I need to confirm that this approach follows best practice.  

Hello,I wanted to install Freeform on our iPad, but unfortunately I can't find the app at Apple School Manager.What can I do?Best Regards,Ralph

We’ve never fully standardized on having everyone in our org sync their Desktop and Documents folders to their OneDrive, and I’ve been working on getting that done recently. First step: create an extension attribute that shows the OneDrive redirection status on each Mac so I could build some smart groups.I kept it simple and just had it look to see whether the user’s Desktop and Documents folders were in their default locations, or if they had OneDrive in the file path of their locations. If it’s the former, it displays “Disabled.” If it’s the latter, it displays “Enabled.” If only one of the two folders are synced to OneDrive, it displays “Partial.”Just wanted to share in case this was useful for anyone else!#!/bin/bash# Extension Attribute to check if Desktop and Documents are syncing with OneDrive (KFM)# Author: John William Sherrod jwsherrod@mac.com# Version 1.0, Date: 08-28-2025# Get the curr

Hi everyone,I'm currently trying to deploy Jamf Protect across my company, where about 90% of the users are developers.Since deploying Protect, we have noticed a massive slowdown during npm install — installation time is multiplied by 4 to 5, depending on the machine and project.To try to fix this, I added the following exceptions: Download Event exclusion Override Endpoint Threat Prevention – Process exclusions However, instead of improving performance, these exclusions seem to make the scan even slower.Has anyone experienced similar slo

Hi,with MacOS 26 Tahoe Apple introduced the new Simplified Setup for Platform Single Sign-On. Both Jamf Pro and Jamf School support this new feature in theory, but I was not able to get it working with Jamf School using Microsoft Entra.Jamf School support says that it should just simply work, but both Jamf and Microsoft say that it is not yet supported (see Jamf and Microsoft).Has anybody been successful?

We have a few iMacs running Sequoia 15.5 and Jamf Connect that are going to black screens after you log in. Both local user accounts and IdP accounts are affected, but I can see the user folder is being created when we log in against our IdP, I get the account creation message but it just hangs on the black screen. Local admin account is having the same problem. I’ve tried uninstalling, restarting, and reinstalling Jamf Connect, but the problem persists. Uninstalling and logging in as a local admin user causes a beach ball to spin, but it sits there and doesn’t not progress. I’ve checked the config profiles and license and they’re all valid, and this isn’t happening fleet wide, just randomly.if I create a new user through Jamf, the user will create, but I can’t log into that account, it immediately dumps me back to the JC login window without any feedback. I can see the new user’s account by running dscl . -list /Users UniqueID but it still hangs. Resetting authchanger d

Starting from scratch (new Jamf instance), how do you establish a baseline for configuration profiles that will be pushed to iPhones and iPads. Do you keep them separate for each type of device and should there be a config profile for every setting/configuration? 

How does everyone utilize static groups and smart groups in your Jamf instance? Seems there's more ways than one to make it efficient. Would like to know particularly how it's used in a hospital or school environment where iPads or iPhones are the bulk of the devices being managed.P. S. I know the difference between the group types. Just want to get ideas on how different orgs might use them more efficiently.

Hi everyone,ContextI’ve encountered several machines where multiple Teams accounts (professional, personal, etc.) were registered, and removing them from the system proved to be quite difficult.I looked into various solutions, but many of the recommended methods didn’t work in my case. Every time I opened Microsoft Teams, the accounts would reappear.Here are some of the resources I consulted:    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/sign-out-or-remove-an-account-from-microsoft-teams-a6d76e69-e1dd-4bc4-8e5f-04ba48384487     https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/2202933/how-do-i-delete-an-old-teams-account-on-mac     etc. What actually worked for meI manually removed the following items from Keychain Access:    OneAuthAccount     login.windows.net     authority_mapAnother effective solution was using a script that I adapted to fit my

My daughter’s school causes to have the Jamf Trust app downloaded on her iPad 10th generation, and the school is currently only allowing it to update to iPadOS 26.01. However, even before the update, the iPad has started showing connectivity issues. After school hours, the school allows students to download and use personal apps, which would be blocked during school hours. However, when she uses apps such as TikTok, she often faces connectivity issues and signs saying “No Internet Connection”, even when the internet is completely fine. This still happens when the iPad uses her phone’s hotspot, or any other Wifi. Is it possible that the Jamf Trust app is messing with her internet connection?Recently, her Discord app has faced many issues. After her iPad battery died and the iPad restarted last Wednesday, her Discord has been having connectivity issues. Moreover, after she logged out of the app, she has since been unable to log back in. Whenever she tries to log in, it says “Oo

A Bold Leap Into AppleIt was the summer of 2024 when we were asked to do something our company had never done before. We were going to introduce MacBooks into an environment that had always been 100% Windows. Naturally, questions started flying. How would we manage them? What tools would we need? And, most importantly, how could we ensure the experience was seamless for our users? The hardware part was easy. We knew we could purchase them from Apple anytime. So, the MacBooks were purchased and ready to go, eagerly awaiting their release into our environment. The real challenge was management and integration. After speaking with our team and several vendors, we made our decision: we decided on Jamf. Paperwork signed, onboarding scheduled, and a new chapter began.One Year Later: A Transformation We Didn’t ExpectFast-forward to October 2025, about a year plus, and what a journey it’s been! We’ve faced challen

Is there a trick to removing “information” notifications?I have 25 of them now, everytime I manually refresh all devices, I end up with one.I can’t mark them as resolved (the whole thing just freezes / does nothing), and I can’t delete them because they aren’t marked as resolved.Some of them date back a couple of months now.

I have a TV app I would like to prevent from updating, but when I try to uncheck the boxes regarding auto updates they are greyed out and fixed to checked: Did I enforce that somehow for all apps, or is there a way I can uncheck the box to automatically force app updates? 

I know that you can push WebClip profiles to shared iPads using the user deploy method but I can’t seem to get it working while using Shared iPads in Guest mode only. Has anyone been able to get WebClips sent to Shared iPads using the anonymous guest logins? I have tried every way I can think of and nothing seems to work.
