We got Defender working on our Macs about a year ago - deployed via JAMF Pro and with configuration profiles. We are not bound to the domain and do not use JAMF Connect.I am trying to follow along with Microsofts documentation (Onboard and offboard macOS devices into Microsoft Purview solutions using JAMF Pro | Microsoft Learn) which seems to be written for setting this up from scratch rather than adding it in to an existing setup. It seems to be doing something as we are getting better feedback under Device Onboarding, but still not making much progress. Here is an example of the details in Device Onboarding  in Microsoft Purview with the error messages before and the more informative messages after I have created the configuration profiles in JAMF from the above guide:

Hey Jamf Nation! With JNUC getting closer you may have noticed that Level Up training options were recently added to the registration page. If you’re not familiar or you’ve never attended Level Up before, I wanted to share a little bit more about these training sessions and what you can expect this year. Level Up at JNUC returns as one day, exclusive, in-person training opportunities that take place the day before the conference kicks off. They will be held at the same location as JNUC, the Kansas City Convention Center, on Tuesday, September 22nd.These learning experiences are supplementary to the Jamf Training Courses like the Jamf 200, 300, and 400 Courses, but you don’t need to already have taken any of those as there are no prerequisites to participating in Leve

Today, Jamf Training turns 20, and the milestone is worth pausing on.More than 40,000 people trained through instructor-led courses. Over 120,000 reached through the Online Training Catalog. 60,000+ certifications issued to IT professionals who've built careers on what they learned here.When we started this journey, the term "Mac Admin" didn't exist. There were no careers in Apple endpoint management. The path you're on today? It wasn't there yet. You, and people like you, built it.Now Jamf certifications are the industry standard for Apple device management and security. The admins who get trained deploy faster, run leaner operations and support their users better.But here's the thing: none of those numbers belong to us.They belong to you.To every admin who took a course before they felt ready. To everyone who earned a certification and finally had the credential to back up what they already knew. To th

We use Jamf Pro Cloud with Jamf Connect (for account creation + Entra ID password sync).After enabling “Use Self Service+ as the default end user app” in settings:Old Self Service was upgraded to Self Service+ on existing Macs Jamf Connect was removed, menu bar now has Self Service+ icon instead On new enrollments, we install Jamf Connect 2.45.1 → now it’s there alongside Self Service+I can’t find clear docs on this — so:Questions:Is Self Service+ intended to replace Jamf Connect completely? If yes, should we skip installing Jamf Connect post‑enrollment? Or should we move to Jamf Connect 3.x? Any official migration guide for 2.x → 3.x with Self Service+?Any experience or official Jamf resources appreciated.

Hi everyone, I’m new here, so if this has already been asked before, please go easy on me 😅 Here’s the situation: I have a client who wants to prevent their developers from losing time every time they switch to a new machine (setting up their development environment, SSH keys, cloning repositories, etc.). Right now, their servicedesk team spends almost an entire morning preparing each device… but here’s the catch: instead of rebuilding the environment cleanly, they’re cloning everything from the user’s old machine. Personally, I don’t agree with this approach. I believe it’s better to go for a clean and automated process: regenerate SSH keys, clone repositories from Git, and configure the environment from scratch. So my question is:Is there any common approach or script within the community to handle this kind of scenario?For example, something that, using the user’s credentials, can generate SSH keys,

Trying to deploy device based certs to Non Domain MacOS devices, which will automatically connect to wifi. We have the following configured: AD (Ghost object created for the MacOS Device) ADCS (separate certificate template created for Mac) NPS NDES When we deploy the cert from Jamf, the cert deploys and installs on the device and I can see it’s issued with the correct template in ADCS. When we try connecting to wifi, we see ‘The specified user account does not exist.  What am I missing? The domain controller is 2016, ghost object created, network policies created, we just can’t seem to bind the cert to the ghost object therefor it does not authenticate. Windows auth is obviously fine via the same NPS server. Any suggestions? 

I was wondering if Jamf Hero’s is still open? Is there a application process?

Does anyone has a way to setup MS Outlook 365 as default mail app? If you want to setup it manually you have to do it in the Mac mail app, although you never used it. I have to send out something to the organization with an mailto: link and I do not want all people calling me to ask why Mail is opening instead of Outlook. Additionally it would be nice to set default programs via config profile in Jamf pro. Thank you for your help.

Any had this issue , devices where PSSO was already registered, users were prompted again to register. When they attempted to register, the process failed, and the devices entries are removed from Azure, resulting in loss of all organization access.we had to re-register the devices through System settings > User and Groups > Network account server > Edit, and then click repair.Note: We use Secure Enclave as authentication type, No changes where done at profiles

I’m well aware that there’s a big “old dog/new tricks” aspect to my reticence to move away from configuration profiles to blueprints, but my primary hangup with even exploring Blueprints too much is the limited scoping capabilities. In particular, I find it really useful with a configuration profile to just be able to exclude a single computer from the scope to remove it for testing or other reasons. But with Blueprints being entirely smart group dependent, the only way I know of to do that would be to modify the smart group to not include a computer name, or maybe link the smart group to a static group, but that feels janky. Help me think through this please.

Today we are releasing Jamf Pro 11.27; highlights include:AI Assistant in Jamf Pro General AvailabilityYou can use Jamf's AI-powered conversational assistant to support your organization's device management and security. AI Assistant consists of individual functionalities called "tools" that are organized in tool groups by product.

Was this a feature add that administrators have been clamoring for over other features or is this just another case of everything needs to have AI jammed into it?

I have searched AI and here but I can’t find anything that matches (or works) for our organization.  I would like to have (as part of the pre-stage enrollment) the Mac device be renamed to a prefix + s/n.  The configuration profiles logs all show MacBook Pro or Users’s MacBook Pro and not the naming scheme that is approved for the company.   From what I understand, you can’t go b ack and rename machines in any log. and modify it.                               

Hi, First time poster here.We have a fleet of student iPads that we're managing through Jamf, and that have Microsoft Teams deployed on them for classwork.The students have learned that, if they tap "+ Add Account" within Teams, they can connect a personal Teams account within the app, and have been using this to send notes in class without oversight.We've been able to limit the Windows Desktop Teams App so that it'll only allow accounts on a specific Teams "tenant ID" to sign in - and we're hoping that a similar capability is possible in the iOS Teams app via Jamf, but have had trouble finding any information about it.Is this something that anyone has managed to accomplish, or has advice about?   I'm relatively new to Jamf, so step-by-step guides are greatly appreciated.

We’ve been using Jamf now for almost 10 years and are still struggling with users that don’t update their computers and mobile devices. So now we’re thinking of activating Software updates in Jamf. When we choose activate/enable it we get the message bellow. Is it just to continue or could it cause problems?

The documentation from Cisco is pretty abysmal, it took me hours to finally make sense of it all. I made my own guide and an all-in-one config profile to use for deployment via Jamf. I hope this helps anyone in the future.  https://scribehow.com/shared/Create_Cisco_Secure_Client_Jamf_Installer_pkg__ODli2lu5QiyylY4S5aCvMQ

As of macOS Sonoma 14.4 using "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/airport --getinfo" no longer returns info about the active Wi-Fi connection. If you want to collect the active SSID for macOS 14.4 or later you can use the wdutil tool and here's an EA to do that:    #!/bin/sh # EA - ActiveSSID # # Note: Using wdutil instead of networksetup so I don't need to know what # interface is Wi-Fi # Returns the currently active SSID activeSSID=$(/usr/bin/wdutil info | /usr/bin/awk '/SSID :/ { print $NF }') echo "<result>$activeSSID</result>"
