Seems a critical piece in my Apple management arsenal has become severely hindered.  Here is a description of what I and others are dealing with:https://www.reddit.com/r/macsysadmin/comments/17n0xw3/sonoma_osascript_via_apple_remote_desktop_not/I have worked with settings within the new “Remote Application Scripting,”  but that doesn’t seem to help.This worked previously on machines, 13.6.1, before I upgraded them to Sonoma.Your help in resolving this issue is greatly appreciated.

I'm looking to be able to rename a computer in Jamf Pro (in the web interface) and have it apply on the computer. I've seen others post more complex questions and use a script to rename multiple computers based on other info in the inventory, but we have external asset tags, so we're just gonna go in and manually name the computers using those tags (the tags are plain alphanumeric strings that come from our inventory asset system which get printed onto a barcode sticker that is placed on the computer, but we don't have a way to get that into Jamf). It sounds like it should work to rename a computer using the instructions here: https://learn.jamf.com/en-US/bundle/jamf-pro-documentation-current/page/Renaming_a_Computer.html But I've tried several times, and after saving the name in Jamf Pro and waiting a day, the computer name on the macbo

I'm gonna show you guys a way that like what I said in the title.First you need to access the Profile Configuration > Ristriction , set Only Allowed some apps , input the com.apple.webapp and click save, then add the Chrome on next line.Then you can add your WebClips as your wish, don't forget use the "googlechromes://" instead of "https://" if you want to use the chrome but no safari like me.Finally, when the configuration profiles affected, the other apps were hidden and only the WebClips were remained.PS: Choose the Fullscreen app in the WebClips, and you can touch the WebClips and directly open in chrome , if you didn't , when you touch the WebCllips , it will open in the safari first and then redirect to the chrome.

On Saturday, March 22, 2025 (previously March 15, 2025), Jamf Cloud Infrastructure will be patched. During this time, you will be logged out of your Jamf Pro instance. The purpose of patching is to ensure that Jamf Cloud infrastructure and the database service are up-to-date, stable, and safe from security threats.

Since the initial release of this integration, Jamf and Microsoft have both made improvements to related features and capabilities, which includes additional data complexity and updates to Sentinel to better support it. The updated integration includes support for the latest telemetry data types and includes: A new Jamf Protect integration, available on the Microsoft Azure marketplace. A new section for configuring data forwarding to Microsoft Sentinel, available in the macOS Security portal. For more information, see Setting Up Data Forwarding to Microsoft Sentinel. If you already have Sentinel configured,

Hello, We are enrolling our current iPads into Jamf via ABM and most are working well. I have one staff member that has an iPad that is part of a family plan with their kids. When I wiped the iPad and then restore it using their personal Apple account and restore their backup it never prompts for our MDM profile to be installed and it just reboots continues to restore the backup. The iPad is in prestage enrollment in JamF and I have enrolled it successfully without using the personal Apple family account. Can an iPad that is part of a family plan use an MDM from Jamf and be managed by Jamf? Thank you.

Hello People, While troubleshooting a failed policy deployment I came across this error messageError: Bootstrap token must be escrowed to the Jamf Pro server in order for computers with Apple Silicon (i.e., M1 chip) to use RestartDevice MDM command.I tried manually with “sudo profiles install -type bootstraptoken” but I got this errorBootstrap Token functionality is not supported on the server. My user is an admin and has securetoken enabled according to “sysadminctl -secureTokenStatus”“sudo fdesetup list -extended” also lists my user admin as Volume owner and I have filevault enabled.I can also carry out update on the computer without issues.The laptop operates like a test computer and I have had to enrol and unenrol it multiple times. could that be the cause of the Bootstrap Token functionality is not supported on the server. error?Some inf

Hi, is there a way to push a PDF to a group of iPads in my fleet? So they can access it locally on their device?

After the upgrade to MacOS 12.3, the Jamf login screen went away, i found that running this command would fix the issue : /usr/local/bin/authchanger -reset -jamfconnectAlthough after creating a policy and trying this through execute command i get the following error:LLVM Profile Error: Failed to write file "default.profraw": Read-only file system I tried the command in terminal manually with sudo permissions and it did work. How can i fix it ? 

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"

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 certif

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.

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

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 

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 di

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!

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.
