Trying to create a new project for Jamf Compliance Editor and every location I choose to save the project I get an error "The selected directory does not seem to be valid. Please select a valid one." The location is where I have previous Compliance Projects. I have tried different versions of the app and have the latest version. Any Help?
Hello all,I inherited a Jamf server running on CentOS, which I want to migrate to Ubuntu to fulfil system requirements.However, while restoring the database on the new server it throws an error: CREATE TABLE `os_update_process_manager_command_c ... Error: Error 6125: Failed to add the foreign key constraint. Missing unique key for constraint 'fk_process_manager_uuid' in the referenced table 'os_update_process_manager' I don't know how to handle that issue.Any ideas?
Hi all,I’m just about 100% sure this isn’t a Jamf issue, but wanted to see if anyone else had any thoughts. We are attempting to get Nexthink installed on our Macs through Jamf. I created a folder in /private/tmp/Nexthink and put the csi.app and the customer key.txt file there and created a pkg through Composer and uploaded it to Jamf. I created a very simple install script to deploy with the pkg file: #!/bin/bash/private/tmp/Nexthink/csi.app/Contents/MacOS/csi \ -address like.to.our.portalurl \ -tcp_port 443 \ -key "/private/tmp/Nexthink/Customer Key.txt" \ -use_assignment=true \ -ra_execution_policy=signed_trusted_or_nexthink \Nexthink installs and Jamf reports back that it completed with all the correct settings including the Engine IP address and Customer key. However, when looking at the local config.json file the customer key has added in a “\” character anytime there is a “/” character in the customer key (so it now shows \/), and causes it to not report in, if I view the l
I have a need to disable apps from auto updating temporarily.Despite the settings are in place, I see applications continue to auto update.Is this a bug in Jamf Pro?
Hello every one,We’re about to renew our AD CS certificates for the first time. We deploy them with different names depending on device type, account type, work place etc. We got the following witch we deplay with configuration profiles. This certificates make the devices to connect to the right SSID automatically.BE-ADCS-Cert → Students, computers BK-ADCS-Cert → Main organisation, computers BH-ADCS-Cert → Second organization, employees mobile devices and computers MOBILE-ADCS-Cert → Main organisation, mobile devices TABLET-ADCS-Cert → Main organisation, shared mobile devices TV-ADCS-Cert → Main organisation, Apple TVsAnybody familiar with doing it and what could be the best way to update to update? Is it possible to run the old (as long as its valid) and the new side by side for a while?
Today we released Jamf Connect 3.3.0.

Hello,Looking for advice or a possible solution via JAMF for the following scenario:Have a bunch of iPAD’s in the field with multiple eSIMS and we are looking to have data occasionally flow over the secondary eSIM and switch back to the primary, possibly making this occur a few times per day/week, this would need to be automated.Possible or not without user intervention?
Hey All,Is it possible to change the timeout on a Jamf Cloud console session?We're on Jamf Cloud 10.42 using SSO to login to the console, if that matters.The main issue (among others), is that when performing a GSX lookup, the web session usually times out before the look up finishes.We have ~1400 workstations which takes at least 10-15 minutes to update, but more often than not results in a session timeout. I've tried creating a SMART group where there is no Warranty info for the device, but the only options are Warranty Expiration is before/after or within a certain # of days.It does seem as though if I open a new JSS tab in the same browser window and work in there while the GSX lookup is ongoing in the other tab, that the GSX lookup session will not timeout.I did check the SSO settings, but it only has a Token expiration time, which is not what I'm looking for. Thanks for any thoughts.Phil
Sometimes you ask your self if you’re thinking right or not. But in this case I’m rather sure my thinking is correct but Jamf doesn’t understand or doesn’t work correctly. :)I’m make a smart user group that lists all computers with architecture type arm64 and with some exclusions. Se bellow. Without the exclusions it gives me 929, with the exclusion it should give me 918 but gives me the same as without exclusions.Am I thinking wrong or is something wrong with Jamf???
I have logged on to Jamf Pro but the page is loading forever. Tried different browser but no luck.

Last month, we announced through this Tech Thoughts blog article that Jamf Nation will get an upgrade later this summer. Well, friends...the time has come! On Friday, July 4, Jamf Nation shifted from its current platform to a new space, and we couldn't be more excited. What you need to know about the migration Any new content published on Jamf Nation between JUNE 23 – JULY 3 will need to be re-posted to the new site after launch. (If you got your answer in that timeframe and don’t care that it’s on the new site, that’s fine too!) All content that was posted to Jamf Nation BEFORE JUNE 23 will migrate. No action needed! Yes, your profile information will migrate. Yes, your User Group information will migrate. Yes, your postings to the job board will migrate. It will ALL migrate. 😊 Improvements in the new space We’re excited for you to come in and see the new space soon! Warning...it will look and feel different, this is by design. This upgraded version of Jamf Nation w
How are people deploying Sopho's endpoint per macOS profiles? Are you creating smart groups for each OS and then assigning them to Sopho's endpoint profile for that OS? What happens when a user upgrades to another OS, do they get popups when old profile removes but does not have the new profile yet?
Hi, We are using Jamf to deploy Parallels to certain users.I guess that starting from Catalina it stopped working, it just fails. Installation failed. The installer reported: installer: Package name is Parallels Autodeploy Packageinstaller: Installing at base path /installer: The install failed. (The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. An error occurred while running scripts from the package “ParallelsDesktop-15.1.1.pkg”.) When performing a manual install it asks for Downloads, Desktop and Documents access.Using the PPPC tool i've uploaded that config, but when opening it. The Documents access is not shown and cannot add it either.Could this be the issue? Anyone else having this issue?

Are you doing work that excites you? Are you still learning and growing?These aren't easy questions to ask, but they're critical for a fulfilling career. The truth is, sometimes the most courageous thing you can do for your professional life is to recognize when a role or company no longer serves you.Don't be afraid to listen to that quiet voice telling you it's time for a change. It's not a sign of failure, but a sign that you've grown and are ready for the next challenge.Your career is a journey, not a prison. Have the courage to build the one you truly want.What was a sign that told you it was time to move on?Please share your experience in the comments. I am curious. 🤔
We’ve run into an incompatibility between Clever IDM that rosters/creates our Google student accounts from SIS data and Jamf cloud IDP. I am trying to fill data from Google attributes (Job Title “title”) into the “position” field within Jamf. My mappings are correct. Clever IDM writes these attributes into Google with a customType of “CleverIDM”, but Jamf only looks for entries with no customType.Example: "organizations": [ { "customType": "CleverIDM", "department": "Mathews High School", "title": "IMM1" }, { "customType": "", "title": "IMM1" } ]Any one have any options or have you ran into this before?Can Jamf use department/title where customType = "CleverIDM"?If not, could Jamf match on another attribute, such as employeeID using customType?
Anyone in here HA users? How many of you all are using all local calls without any need for internet?What kind of cool stuffs are you doing? I know this isn't JAMF related (per se - although you can do some pretty cool things with API and home assistant….maybe integrate things with JAMF instead of leveraging Routines?).Anyways, just curious of how many folks in here are home nerds as much as corporate nerds 😄
We continue in our efforts to streamline compliance benchmarks workflows and unify the reporting. Today, we are proud to announce two new highly demanded exports within the Compliance capability in Jamf Pro - something you have been asking for since the initial launch of Compliance in April.Auditing documentation: Holding the benchmark settings as configured by the admin, this set of documents is aimed to serve for compliance audits purposes. Those of you already using Jamf Compliance Editor or mSCP are familiar with these - now the adoc, pdf, html, and xlsx documents for each supported OS version are available right under Compliance Configuration tab in Jamf Pro. Compliance status: After enabling the computer-level compliance reporting in July, you can now export the overall compliance status, i.e. number of passing and failing computers for each rule in a benchmark, into csv file - very similar to the one produced by Compliance baselines in Jamf Protect. With this export, you can rep
Hello everyone, i did a test run for the jamf Class Assigner yesterday. After going through the steps in the documentation i got the app running in teacher and student mode. But even though the teacher ipad is assigned to a teacher user (including managed Apple ID loged in on the Teacher device) i get "Teacher not assigned to device" displayed in Class Assigner. i built a manual class in jamf school with a user assigned as teacher and tried importing a class from ASM with teacher and student rolls defined, same error. Any help would be appreciated.

This article and many others can be found on Rich Trouton’s blog Der Flounder As part of Apple’s unveiling of Declarative Device Management (DDM) at WWDC 2023, Apple announced that DDM management included the ability to deploy MDM configuration profiles using DDM as the delivery mechanism in place of using MDM to deliver the profiles. Jamf Pro’s Blueprints leverages this capability to support device restrictions.Let’s see how this works using a device restriction configuration, using the example of setting the following Apple Intelligence management functions to false in order to block the corresponding Apple Intelligence functions on macOS: Restriction Setting available in version Description Key Key value Default setting in macOS Allow Image Playground macOS 15.0.0 If key value is set to FALSE, prohibits the use of image generation. allowImagePlayground Boolean TRUE Allow Writing Tools
I’m wondering how others approach Macs that have become unaccounted for, lost or stolen?We have a fleet of approx 1500 - many that were purchased before any of the stuff currently involved in managing them were working for our organisation.Sometimes I’ll come across a Mac that is still checking into Jamf, but we have no record of who it belongs to and whether it was legitimatly bought-out or not.Othertimes we have Macs that have just been plain stolen.There’s another scenario on top of this where I’ll encounter Macs that check-in, so can seemingly run Policies but aren’t doing an inventory update, and won’t run Management commands. (the Wipe Computer command being one I’d find quite useful in particular)With that in mind, I put together a script to install a launch daemon that launches a script that agressively notifies the user that the device belongs to our org, and to contact our helpdesk - it blocks the screen out to the point the device becomes unusable. I am yet to deploy it thou
Hey All,We’ve been using a fleet of WiFi Only Apple TV’s as digital signage in single apple mode, we changed the configuration profile, and this appears to have disconnected all of them, while keeping them stuck in single app mode. Is there a way out of this? Kind Regards,Jarrah
