I'm trying to find a way to force a User Profile picture for all users via Jamf Pro. I have spent a day now reading posts about it and they all seem to assume that I already know what the User profile name is and that it is going to be the same on all computer or the scripts are not working/ erroring out or they say to set it up to be done before the user profile is created. none of these solutions work for my needs. I need to be able to force change the picture on all existing profiles with out already knowing what the profile name is.All the computers are running Monterey or newer.Is there anyway to do this?

Hey All, This year Autodesk decided to change the installer for AutoCAD, Maya and Mudbox. Here's how I got AutoCAD to install silently since the new silent installer option is broken. You will want a policy to copy the app from the dmg to a temp directory. I used /tmp EDIT: You only want to change the license server address in the script below. Nothing else. #!/bin/sh year="2021" pkgpath="/tmp/Install Autodesk AutoCAD ${year} for Mac.app" pkgPath1="/tmp/Install Autodesk AutoCAD ${year} for Mac.app/Contents/Helper/ObjToInstall/lib.pkg" pkgPath2="/tmp/Install Autodesk AutoCAD ${year} for Mac.app/Contents/Helper/Packages/AdSSO/AdSSO-v2.pkg" pkgPath3="/tmp/Install Autodesk AutoCAD ${year} for Mac.app/Contents/Helper/Packages/Licensing/AdskLicensing-10.1.0.3194-mac-installer.pkg" pkgPath4="/tmp/Install Autodesk AutoCAD ${year} for Mac.app/Contents/Helper/ObjToInstall/licreg.pkg" pkgPath5="/tmp/Install Autodesk AutoCAD

Hello All,    Just wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing this or has experienced this in the past. Our ABM is showing that it has not synced with Jamf since this update on March 18th. Since then we have not been able to automatically enroll any devices and due to this all of our purchased machines are not being enrolled at all and only show up in ABM. They are not showing up in Jamf despite them showing that they are connected to the Jamf server in ABM. Has anyone experienced this and does anyone know of a fix?

Hello,   First off forgive me for my lack of understanding, I am new to Jamf and I just got thrown into the middle of it haha.   I am enrolling a new Ipad and it is enrolled in ASM and Jamf, but when it goes to install the managed profiles, two of them fail to install. It does not give any info other then that the status is failed.   Is there a way to see while they are failing?   Thanks, Matt.

It's taking forever to repair the Database Tables, and I'm not certain the process continues after I'm timed out of the web interface. Is it possible to repair the database tables from the command line?

How to I change restrictions so that I can have ipads connect to any computer. I was able to do this before by selecting the trust button but this is not appearing anymore so now all ipads will not connect to any computer. I need this so that I can get photos off ipads to store on our server.

Hey all.  Is there a way to lock access to the WiFi settings on a macbook only during certain time periods combined with when a non-admin user is logged in?  We're having issues with our students using their hot spots and want to lock the computers to the campus WiFi durring class times.

I'm having serious performance issues with the 11.9.1 update (Jamf Pro Cloud). Any time I edit the scope of a profile the interface slows to a crawl and I get the dreaded "Poor network connection" pop-ups. It can take up to 30 seconds or more just to register keystrokes when filtering the list of computers and another 10 seconds or longer to select/add something. It was always slow/laggy working with profiles, but not like this. Anyone else?

Hello again. I'm seeing a lot of older posts about this that are not relevant to Sonoma; most posts are from years ago. This is a 2 part question: I want to upload a Corporate image to be used for Desktop Wallpaper. I'll need this to be built into the "image" we use for MacBooks.2nd question, once picture is installed in the right folder, all I need to do is use the the "Lock Desktop Picture" setting in Restrictions and add the file path, correct? Any help is greatly appreciated. JAMF ProSonoma 14.4.1MacBook Pro 

I found an excellent script from Karthikeyan Marappan on his GitHub site for clearing out failed MDM commands.  Sometimes failed commands will prevent JAMF from allowing further policies to be pushed/deployed.  I took his script and put a nice GUI frontend on it   Initial welcome screen Results if no failed commands found Option for clearing out failed commands My repo link: https://github.com/ScottEKendall/JAMF-Pro-Scripts/tree/main/ClearFailedMDM

Hi- does anyone have a source for the Bluebook Exams installer package?  I can only seem to get it from the App store, and trying to build a package using Composer constantly fails.  (Building works, but the package doesn't work) Have to deploy to a student testing lab...   Thanks!

Hello, I am having an issue where my IOS devices (phones and iPads) are not updating inventory or updating any commands. All of my Macs however are running inventory just fine.  Most devices stopped doing inventory roughly a week ago however a handful continued for a few more days, and one single iphone ran inventory yesterday. I updated our on-premise jamf server, but this has not fixed anything. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you,

Just noticed in Automated Device Enrollment that Asset Tag information loaded in the Placeholder is not showing up in the Device Inventory Details after enrollment. This has worked in the past but was wondering if anyone else has experienced this lately in Jamf School?

I am looking for a way to manage the settings to allow accessory (USB/Thunderbold). In the System Preferences are these settings available: Ask every time Ask for new accessories Automatically when unlocked Always But I didnt find any setting options in the following MDM command: https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/manage-accessory-access-depf8a4cb051/1/web/1.0 Is there a different way to set this option to "Ask every time" ?

On March 20th, 2025, the NYC Jamf User Group (NYC JUG or “the JUG”) celebrated its 11th anniversary—a milestone that reflects the remarkable growth and resilience of the Apple Admin community. What began as a small gathering of 20 admins in Jamf’s old NYC office has flourished into a thriving network, now meeting at Apple’s 11 Penn Plaza location, with over 80 attendees regularly.A Look Back: From Humble Beginnings to a Thriving CommunityFounded in 2014, the NYC JUG was created to bring Apple admins together to share real-world Jamf experiences outside of official events. With early encouragement from Jamf supporters, including Henry Patel and Jonah Klevesahl (now at Apple), the group held its first meeting on February 18, 2014, after a few weeks of promotion on Jamf Nation.What started with 20 admins quickly grew through word of mouth. By the third meeting, the group had outgrown Jamf’s office, prompting Apple to offer their 100 Fifth

Through necessity, a need arose to enable users to be able to install Tableau Desktop on their Macs via Self Service. But with the app not currently being available in the Jamf App Catalog, a scripted process was devised to enable the installation of Tableau Desktop on a Mac, whilst ensuring the correct variant for CPU architecture (i.e arm64 on Apple Silicon or x86_64 in Intel based Macs) was deployed. After putting time into curating the script, I felt it would be good to share this with the community for anyone else who may need to deploy this within their environment:   #!/bin/bash cd "/Library/Application Support/JAMF/tmp" # Update variables. These shouldn't need to change for each update dmgname="TableauDesktop.dmg" pkgname="Tableau Desktop.pkg" apptoreplacerunningname="Tableau" # Determine CPU architecture for download arch=$(/usr/bin/arch) if [ "$arch" == "arm64" ]; then dmglink="https://www.tableau.com/downloads/desktop/mac-arm64" echo "Running process to download arm

Hello! Our school uses Jamf School. Now I got an advice from a student that the students have the opportunity to lock themselves in an app in the morning before our restrictions become active and thus make our restrictions on their iPad ineffective. That sounds very much like "single app mode" to me. A review of the activity protocol in Jamf School also revealed that an iPad rejected restrictive profiles because it was in "single-app mode," which was certainly not activated by the school admin (me). Questions: Is there a way to disable user-triggered single-app mode? Or, if this is already running on an iPad: Is there a way to end a student-activated single-app mode through Jamf Teacher or by the admin in Jamf School? I can't find anything about it at the moment. But that would really be an important function?

Hey everyone! Long time reader, first time poster.  I am trying to configure a custom analytic in Jamf Protect, that will create an alert, similar to the default analytics, in the "Alert's" pane. This one is a little too robust, in terms of what its creating alerts on. Basically, we are trying to create an analytic that can be used to audit against installed .app software on endpoints, as a way to maintain and ensure compliance with the software allow list. The predicate doesn't need to do anything other than alert when an application is installed. We want it to ONLY alert on the primary .app, and not a bunch of child folders or .apps associated with it. Any ideas on the best way to modify that predicate?   $event.type == 7 AND  $event.isNewDirectory == 1 AND  $event.path ENDSWITH[cd] ".app" AND NOT ($event.path CONTAINS ".Trash" OR $event.path BEGINSWITH "/Library/InstallerSandboxes/.PKInstallSandboxManager")  

Hi Jamf Nation Team, We are currently working to deploy the Falcon Sensor in our system, but we need to monitor the sensor's status. Unfortunately, the Extension Attribute I was using is not gathering the necessary information. Could you please help me if you have any that I can use: Sensor Registration: Confirms whether the Falcon Sensor is correctly registered with the CrowdStrike cloud.Sensor Operational Status: Checks if the Falcon Sensor service is running correctly on the endpoint.Sensor Cloud Connectivity: Verifies that the sensor can successfully communicate with CrowdStrike’s cloud infrastructure. Thank you!
