Hi! I have many computers that currently do not have assigned users. Some of our policies rely on the "department" field. Our cloud identity provider is Google, and all of our data is downloaded from it. However, right now, I need to manually go through hundreds of computers to assign users to each one.   Is there a way to automate this process?

Hi all,I just migrated from JamfNow to JamfPro and Im very new here. Im addressing computer's name by a Smart Group with a policy to execute this Script, which is not working for me.Basically I want to use the prefix MBP or MBA, depending on the model, following the SN of the laptop. Any advice or help will be highly value.  #!/bin/sh# Get laptop modelmodel=$(system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | awk '/Model Identifier/ {print $3}')# Get Serial Numberserial=$(system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | grep Serial | awk '{ print $4 }')# Assign a prefixif echo "$model" | grep -q "MacBookPro"; then    prefix="MBP"elif echo "$model" | grep -q "MacBookAir"; then    prefix="MBA"else    prefix="APPLE"fi # Generate computernamecomputerName="$prefix-$serial"echo "$computerName" # Rename computerscutil --set ComputerName "$computerName"sleep 5scutil --set HostName "$computerName"sleep 5scutil --set LocalHostName "$computerName"s

In MacOS Sequioa, we're seeing that accounts are not showing under Users & Groups, except for the current user.  In previous OSs as an admin, once unlocked you typically saw the other users... doesn't seem to have an unlock here. Only way we've been able to see other users is to see if they have a home folder created.  We're using JAMF Pro to create some, but not all users accounts. Locally created users also do not appear in the System Settings.Has anyone seen this similar behavior and have suggestions/know how to make all users visible to admins?

Today I have ran into a problem I have not seen in the past. We have been using Jamf Teacher to restrict iPads for awhile now and have not changed anything today with our settings. We are getting a red exclamation point icon next to users names when trying to apply device restrictions now. It is happening when using the app on many different devices, and while attempting to restrict many different devices.  Any insight into this?

I asked this same question on the Clearpass forum, in case there are more people there that are doing similar things, but I'm hoping for someone with the conceptual understanding to just give me a nudge in the right direction regarding this setup. We have been using 802.1x with Machine certificates issued by AD, with ClearPass and Windows machines for a couple years now. I understand the process that the windows machine joins the domain, get's a certificate, and then our clearpass servers are domain joined and can authenticate the machine with Active Directory using some of our various AD servers. All of that works well, and makes sense to me. Now we're extending it to macbooks and adding Jamf, so that we can also set up certificates on the macbooks (they will not be domain joined) via SCEP/NDES integrated with our windows CA, with the goal of them also doing 802.1x with EAP-TLS. So far, we have the SCEP process working fine, and the macbooks obtain their certificates from our CA via S

When going in to a iPhone and utilizing the lock device button in the management tab, device lock seems to be bypassed if the user has a pin or FaceID setup. Does anyone know of a way to get around this so a phone can truely be locked and could only be unlocked by a admin or is this some sort of limitation by Jamf/Apple?   Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. I was not able to come up with anything when searching the boards or documentation but could have missed it somewhere

I found this website with what appears to be really good info on how to disable Time Machine. It's dated March 2021, so I tried the first one anyway (Prong 1), and neither the sudo command, nor the MDM Profile work. The sudo command sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine DoNotOfferNewDisksForBackup -bool TRUE returns "Could not write domain /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine".The configuration profile got installed on the machine, but after connecting an external drive, I got the prompt anyway. I figure this is old information at this point, but does anyone have knowledge on how to do effectively disable Time Machine in its entirety? I can restrict the app, but what can be done about the popup when external drives are inserted?

I would like to add applications to a users Login Items. But I do not want to add them using Configuration Profiles, as this means the user is unable to remove these applications from Login Items.I want to add them just so that they start up when the user boots the mac or logs in. But if the user doesn't want this, they should be free to remove them again.This used to be possible via Apple Script: App_Path="$4" App_Name="$5" Hidden="$6" /usr/bin/osascript <<EOF tell application "System Events" to make login item at end with properties {Path:"$App_Path", name:"$App_Name", hidden:$Hidden} EOF but it seems this doesn't work anymore.Does anyone have a way to do this?

Howdy... I’ve detected an issue where the Jamf binary stops checking in, this can be for hours, days, weeks or even months. This is evident when Macs have run their Inventory Update for "x days". It would appear that the Jamf binary begins its check-in process but never completes, this stops any further check-in attempts as the process is still running and wont attempt to check-in until the original process has completed. If you attempt to manually check-in you will get a similar error to:This policy trigger is already being run: root 88591 0.0 0.0 34245156 1048 ?? Ss 21Jul22 0:03.85 /usr/local/jamf/bin/jamf policy -stopConsoleLogs -randomDelaySeconds 300I suspect this issue is caused by a network interuption when a policy is running or a script within a policy that cannot complete (the softwareupdated process has been hanging on some versions of macOS Big Sur). There does not appear to be a time-out for the Jamf binary.CasperCheck or the new Jamf-Management-Framework-Redeploy API func

EDIT.. wrong sub group 🙄 should be in JAMF Pro.... where is delete in this thing.. ? 🤔 🤔 Any user can right click on jamf management notifications and 'turn off'.They will not turn back on until reboot.This is.. bad. Have a ticket in with jamf support, but in the meantime.. any thoughts.. iI've had poke around trying to see where this value is stored.. and so far not located.. of course the config profile for this is default from jamf and is locked out to the user. 

At it again with some more goodies!  Got a revamped GUI version of @robjschroeder excellent bootstrap script.  Changed it to be more inline with all of my other scripts that I have written: Code is here: https://github.com/ScottEKendall/JAMF-Pro-Scripts/blob/main/EscrowBootStrap.sh And some screenshots:  (1st one is the prompt users will get if they cannot escrow their account) 2nd one is to ask the user to escrow their account Result if it escrows OK... Please be sure to test before you put this into production!

Howdy folks! While people are digging into the shiny new Self Service+ app I thought I'd share a quick way to manage notifications for that app with a simple configuration profile. Why do we need this? The Self Service (Classic) app has the Notifications payload covered in the Security settings for computer management, which deploys Notifications preferences for the bundle ID com.jamfsoftware.selfservice.mac. However, the bundle IDs for Self Service+ are com.jamf.selfserviceplus and com.jamf.selfserviceplus.agent. As of the time of this writing built-in settings for Self Service (Classic) Notifications will not apply to Self Service+. Building a new configuration for Self Service+. One way to create a Notifications payload for Self Service+ is to use the built-in payload type in a Jamf Pro configuration profiles within the Jamf Pro web app. Navigate to Computers > Configuration Profiles and make a New profile. Select the Notifications option and add two payloads,

Morning, just installed the self service+ as per Jamf instructions so, downloaded .pkg, created a policy and deployed it on my admin machine as a test. In terminal i ran the command sudo jamf policy and it did install however, i got the following error shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory job-working-directory: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory job-working-directory: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory job-working-directory: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory shell-init: error

With Jamf Pro 11.14, utilize new additions to the Jamf Pro API in scripts for automation and use the SCEP payload of a computer configuration profile to deploy certificates with the Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) Connector! Be sure to check out the Jamf Pro release notes for all of the exciting new features and enhancements. Thank you for your continued support and feedback! Learn more here!  

Hi All,I've never had a problem before using composer to package apps until version 10.28. When packaging a drag and drop app such as Krita or Blender, Composer has started displaying this error message during the 'Build as PKG' build process - Couldn't communicate with a helper application. I've never seen this before, it's doing it on a clean install of Catalina 10.15.7 and on a different machine with an upgrade to Big Sur 11.2.3. It will package VLC successfully but not Krita or Blender.It will create DMGs ok for all three. All three are given the same owner/group & permissions before creating a new PKG. Root, Admin and 755. Has anyone else encountered this issue and were you able to resolve it?Thanks for any info!

Anyone here using the new Jamf Remote Assist?  I’ve gotten it to work a few times but it always fails now saying the cmoputer is not registered.  Then when I click the "Reregstier App button", the installation of the Jamf Remote Assist PPPC Profile always fails. I realize the feature is in its infancy, but would still like to leverage it.

Hello everyone, still a beginner with the 14 days trial.   I know what I want but I don't know how to archive that. I would like to give out a device and the user logs in with his MSO365 account. (name@comapny.com) So the device gets entrolled to "his name".   - Cloud Services connection is on. - Cloud identity provider is configured with our Entra ID. The test shows I can search for users and groups and see if they are part of a group   How do I need to proceed to get the users in Jamf Pro?   Thanks a lot in advance.

Hello - we have iCloud accounts disabled for our staff. However, many of them would like to use Apple Music as a quality of life issue, and some have a longstanding workflow of purchasing music from iTunes for work functions. In my restrictions profile I have "allow Apple Music" checked, however, in my testing I still cannot log in to either Apple Music with a subscription account, or even the iTunes section of the app.  Is there a way to enable Apple Music and iTunes for users without enabling iCloud accounts? Thank you!

I've originally written this post to my Github. Overview This document examines critical implementation challenges with Jamf Pro Computer Configuration Profiles, specifically focusing on the Restrictions Payload deployment mechanism. Three key issues have been identified, along with potential solutions and important operational considerations for organizations to implement while awaiting platform updates. Key Issues 1. Legacy Configuration Format The Jamf Pro Restrictions Payload for macOS devices continues to use an outdated deployment format, diverging from the modern "include/don't include" approach implemented in other payloads. This legacy system requires explicit value assignment for all available keys, forcing organizations to make decisions on settings they may prefer to leave unmanaged. When viewing the Security and Privacy Payload, we can see Jamf implemented the modern approach of "Include/Don't Include"     In this example, Password Change is included and re

Trying to find a simple solution to give me the IP address of an ethernet connection to a mac, if its through a USB-C adapter or a docking station.      Most of the macs stay connected to our wifi, and the service order usually puts that first so the built in jamf reporting is always giving us the wifi IP.  I would like to create an EA to give me ethernet... (even if there isnt one and the computer is only on wifi thats fine, it can report "none" or nothing.)

Back again with some more goodies.  Modified the script from https://mostlymac.blog/2021/06/09/using-a-self-service-policy-to-grant-end-users-a-secure-token/ to put a nice Swift UI interface on it and some GUI feedback on the process.   Code is here: https://github.com/ScottEKendall/JAMF-Pro-Scripts/blob/main/GrantSecureToken.sh and here are some screenshots:   and if successful: and if any failures occur:

We upgraded our on prem Jamf Server from 11.1.5 to 11.13.1 and after that when open Self Service is says "Self Service Cannot reach a JAMF MDM server".When I download a new Self Service from JAMF I just got version 11.1.3? 

Hi, I want to enable set time zone automatically using your current location radio button on system settings for all my org Mac on bulk. How do we get it, I want all the Mac date and time settings to be like it is on this image.

Hello all, I was having trouble setting the date and time automaticaly for jamf pro, i cant seem to find an option for in the config profile is there something im missing?

We have a lot of users who aren't updating Chrome. How are you enforcing updates and relaunches to apply the updates?
