I am curious to know what everyone is using for your SUPERMAN deployment script (of those of you who do  use SUPERMAN).  Here is my script: https://github.com/ScottEKendall/JAMF-Pro-System-Scripts/blob/main/Superman%20Script.sh I am pretty sure it is working, but I am curious if I missed something critical or some "fine tuning" might be in order...the docs on his website can be "daunting"... Please let me know your thoughts / suggestions...  

We allow our employees to use the spotify app. Most of them are standard users meaning they get prompted for admin credentials for the update helper. What we want to do is kill automatic updates and then they can update via either self service or we automatically manage updates when our autopkg/jss importer runs. There are a few scripts on git to do this but none have really been proven to work. Does anyone have a surefire solution for Big Sur?

Hi everyone, Does anyone have a solution to the following: Automatically applying computer names to macOS devices that enroll via DEP? Thanks!

Does anyone have a script they use to check membership of Microsoft Entra groups? Everything I'm finding is Powershell, and I need something that can run natively on Macs out of the box.

I have created a Company Portal app and a registration configuration profile, both of which are working as expected. However, when deploying the Company Portal on devices running macOS Sequoia, the installation does not progress it just keeps spinning indefinitely in the self service. like installing only Even when I try to install it manually, it always gets stuck at "Preparing for installation." Is anyone else facing this issue with the Company Portal on macOS Sequoia? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anybody have a solution for teachers with managed iPads to mirror a Netflix Video from their iPad to the Classroom ATV ? Netflix account is a personal account, as the school does not have any.Thanks for your helpger

Putting this on here in case someone has come across this issue. Macbook Pro's with the M4 Chip on Sequoia 15.1 + higher have been receiving the color spinning wheel when prompted to print over a secure network. There is a guest network available, however, our Secure network is the only network we can access printers. A work around we found: turning off wifi before opening the printing option window > Click Print > Print Queue opens "waiting" > turn wifi back on > Print job goes through. This is for Docs, PDFs, Jpegs. Minus pages from the web. The waiting period for the spinning wheel to stop could be 5-10 minutes or by using opt+cmd+esc to force quit. Operating Systems under Sequoia work no problem, but with these new models released with Sequoia, we've been unsuccessful with downgrading to a lower OS. 

I'm a Tech Director in a K12 school and one of our teachers purchased a Cricut machine. The trouble is that the software requires frequent updates and without the updates you can't use the software. I found Patch Management for Cricut in Jamf Pro but I need to automate the process or at least to figure out a Self-Service way to allow users to run the updates? Helppppp!!!! :-) 

Hi Sorry if this has been answered before but I can't find anything.   We've just deployed iPads for the first time and are randomly getting the message The connection to iCloud timed out. And it is signing the users out.  Can anyone advise what might be causing this and how to fix?

Another script born from necessity.  User's seem to be running out of disk space due huge amounts of Adobe CC files, so I created a script to show them the largest files or folders in their home directory.  Script variables can control the starting location and scanning "depth" Source here: https://github.com/ScottEKendall/JAMF-Pro-Scripts/tree/main/DiskUsage

Is there an extension attribute available (or something else) that will allow me to build a smart computer group which pulls all systems with a specific restricted software rule in scope? Meaning, I want to create a smart computer group that shows all systems that Ive restricted abc123.app.

We use a time filter to switch the students profiles over to a school profile during school hours from their own personal profile. The majority of devices work, but we have a handful that do not switch over fully and there are apps that remain useable that they have installed from their personal profiles.I have checked that the problem devices have enough storage, the O/S is up to date and all of the correct profiles etc are assigned. The logs for the device state that the profiles have been applied correctly and show as installed.I have also wiped a device, reinstalled and set it up but the problem returned.Is there anything I am missing or has anyone found out what causes the profiles not to switch properly?

Hi all, Looking to upgrade several Ventura machines to Sonoma. Plan is for JP to issue commands to download and install Sonoma and users receive a prompt to reboot to finish the upgrade. Testing hasn't yielded expected results. Leveraging Software Updates in JP with "download and install" + Target version > specific version deploys the upgrade but the machines automatically reboot with no warning or user interaction. Duplicated experience with 14.7.3 then 14.7.4 (after the latter was released last week). Happens with Intel-based and Apple silicon machines. Noticed some prior discussion on the forums recommend using MDM commands. Not sure if the above scenario meets the criteria. Appreciate the assistance.

Hi Nation, does anyone know why some iOS devices are able to set the screen lock time to never and other ones not?I have no idea if there are some configuration profiles or anything else in jamf PRO wich causes this. Thanks for your help :)

Hello folks,how do you deal with Mozilla Firefox and the Auto Updater if the users are not local admins and cannot install the helper tool? is there a way like with google chrome?Cheers

Hey folks! Just wanted to drop by with another bit of info that may be helpful when using the new Self Service+ application on your managed computers.  The app leverages macOS unified logging, so to grab logs you'll want to parse the log stream to get app activity.  One way to grab these files programmatically (as of version 1.2.0 of the app) is to use the Collect Troubleshooting Info option in the Help menu (or use the hotkeys ⇧ ⌘ L /Shift + Command + L) and the app will generate a zip file and save it wherever you specify.   For folks familiar with parsing the unified log on macOS, you can use Terminal to filter the log and look for Self Service+ events. To see events from the last hour would look something like this: log show --info --predicate 'subsystem BEGINSWITH "com.jamf.selfserviceplus"' --last 1h --style compact To stream activity from the app as it's running in real time you'd want to use an elevated log stream command, something like this: sudo lo

Hey, Let me know if this is the wrong area to post in. Essentially we are attempting to disable Siri and its "Listen For" option. Unfortunately it seems we can only disable siri but if "Listen For" was enabled prior to disabling siri it still allows for the pop-ups saying "you dont have permission". We have been able to supress/kill the pop-ups as a temp fix for the time being though we notice the Siri icon in the top right of the menu bar is still there. While you can manually get rid of that icon in the Control Center, We have yet to find much if any information or option to control the control center options and remove that icon through Jamf Pro's Config profiles as of yet. My question is, Is there any way to remove a menu bar icon even if its with like a script or anything or even a way to manage the Control center through jamf just yet?

hi All,Pretty new to JAMF and i would like to know if anyone has a doc I can read on how to add a line to the visudo settings.Right now its a manual process every time i provision a laptop but i would like to script this.I have search and there are so many answers and none officially supported by JAMF. I now just do sudo visudoedit the filewrite/quit and save the file. Any help is appreciated

If you're wanting to create a self service policy object that users can run to execute sudo jamf policy and sudo jamf recon, these are the steps you'll want to take. I haven't seen a clear and concise post on this so I wanted to create one.When creating the Policy, in the General payload, you'll leave all triggers off because you want it to be triggered by Self Service. For the execution frequency, set it to be Ongoing. Then add the Maintenance Payload and hit Configure. This will automatically have the Update Inventory selected. The update inventory essentially does what a “sudo jamf recon” would. Then to also have it force a check-in, go to the Files and Processes payload and under Execute Command you can put in “jamf policy” without the quotes. Lastly, make the policy available in Self Service. This will then ensure a check-in and update inventory will occur when a user selects that button.

Recently I've been trying to extract infos of which extensions our users have on their browsers.I have a script running for our major browsers and it's working great but now I'd like to get more infos that are sealed inside a .json file.Is there a way to extract specific lines from a .json file such as the "manifest.json" you can find in every Chrome extension's folder?Specifically I need only the rows talking about which permission does the extension have as seen below.

I'm not really concerned but I had this popup appear on a few people's screen after a MacOS Update. This is not our normal Jamf Connect login screen and kinda made me question how this came up out of nowhere. Not sure if anyone has seen this type of screen or would know why it would pop up.
