Hi Jamf Nation, While we passed a custom URL from google drive to fetch icon for the setup manager, it appears to be broken. Point to be noted, we didn't do any icon package deployment. We just passed the google drive link to fetch the icon in configuration profile under Application & Custom Settings>Jamf Applications>Icon Source Any idea what I am missing here? Thanks

Today we are releasing Jamf Pro 11.18; highlights include:Return to Service for Mobile Devices The Return to Service feature is available in the Jamf Pro interface, in addition to the Jamf Pro API. Return to Service is an option within the Wipe Device remote command that instructs a wiped device to automatically reconnect to the Wi-Fi network and re-enroll with Jamf Pro. Return to Service remembers the Wi-Fi settings and applies them automatically, which returns the device to a ready-to-use state for the next user while ensuring privacy and security among multiple users of the device. Automatic Deployment of Self Service+ for macOS Note: The option to automatically deploy Self Service+ from Jamf Pro will be made available on a regional basis in environments with Jamf Pro 11.17.1 or later. When it becomes available in your region, you will see the option in Jamf Pro. Jamf Pro enables administrators to automatically deploy Self Service+ to enrolled computers by setting Self Service+ as
When Mac users rapport issues, you always have to remove/walk to the user and typically the first you do is check log files As far I remember during Jamf training, there is an option to get log files uploaded into the jamf backend in attachement ?. But cannot remember the details on this - but is there a way to do this?
I'm new to Jamf Protect. At some point I thought I heard it can house logs, but everything I'm reading says it needs a SIEM. Can anyone clarify?
I have enabled path management notification for Google Chrome update, Today I received below notification from Jamf Pro but when I checked in Google there is no information about the mentioned version. Is this is false alert from Jamf Pro? Updates for Google Chrome are available.Title: Google ChromeVersion: 137.0.7151.121Publisher: Google
An org’s network requires non-personal devices (think digital signage, inventory scanners, etc...) to be bound to a set network using MAC address. That then requires “Private Wi-Fi Address” to be disabled on all the iOS devices otherwise the device MAC does not match up to the registered MAC.For these type devices, I have a config set to disable “Private Wi-Fi Address” but that only comes through AFTER the device is enrolled (and gets internet access of course). With a random MAC, the device cannot do the initial out of box activation and eventually times out. I can get around all of that with a USB ethernet dongle, which allows the device to get online, enroll, get wifi config settings etc... but that is time consuming.Does anyone know of a way to disable the private wi-fi address setting when you first connect a device to wifi out of the box?I have tried backing out on the setup screen and holding the wifi name in question to try and bring up options, but so far no
I'm trying to add a video to a customize enrollment. It's a video we are storing in a S3 bucket on AWS. When I try to embed it the video doesn't show. Everything I look about this is about Youtube videos but we don't particularly want to host a video on Youtube.
There's plenty of posts regarding disabling AirPlay Receiver, but we actually want to ENABLE it. Our previous AirPlay solution, AirServer, is not being properly maintained by the dev, doesn't play nice on our network, and we have just about given up on it. I tried reversing @ljcacioppo 's solution for disabling the setting here, but when set to true, it doesn't toggle the setting on; it only allows the user to enable it. This is on Seqouia 15.5. Ideally, we would like the following things set via profile: AirPlay Receiver set to ON Allow AirPlay for Anyone on the Same Network Require password set to OFF (the user must click a popup to allow the connection so this is fine) Does anyone have a working solution for this?
We use ClassLink Single Sign On to manage certain apps on our iOS devices. At first launch, you need to choose the correct school district which can get a little confusing. I was wondering if there was a way using the App Configuration setting to specify the exact URL to open upon launching ClassLink.
I'm transitioning us from Jamf Pro to Jamf School. It can't happen like a flipping a light switch so I have to deal with small amount of lingering devices still in use in Jamf Pro into the coming school year (I have all our student devices but not teacher devices). In Jamf Pro we currently have 8 different Sites each setup with their own content tokens that match our locations in Apple School Manager. As we make the transition I can't completely remove every single license from Jamf Pro's tokens, so in setting up Jamf School I'm wondering.... Should I create this same structure with new locations and new content tokens to transfer the bulk of the licenses to in Apple School Manager for the new Jamf School instance, since I can't clean house and use the existing token? Downsides? Is that what Jamf School expects or is it more tuned to one large pool of apps from one content token even when using multiple locations with Jamf School ("sites"). I suspect creating this parallel world is t
Hello all,Just come to reimage my first computer lab of the year.Figured 'this lab now has M4 Mac mini's in it... that means I can use the Wipe Computer MDM command', as this is essentially doing an 'Erase all content and settings' - something I have previously done manually.8 of the devices wiped, reactivated, then started up just fine.The other 12 have SOS orange blinking lights on the front - apparently in DFU mode because something broke.I don't normally have to do this DFU business, so I'm connecting a USBC, loading Apple Configurator 2... and I'm going through the motions.After downloading and attempting to install, it failed presumably because my Macbook is on Sonoma, and it wants to be on Sequioa - now waiting for macOS to update.What a hassle! Is this a known bug?Hard to imagine I messed something up here. Ya press a button, enter a code... device wipes itself.Anyone been in this situation care to mutually vent frustration with me on the forums?

Historically, after your jamf pro sign-in timed out, when you returned to the login page, it would sign you in automatically. With the new jamf admin sso integration, every login attempt requires you to type your full email. it only takes a few seconds, but when I have to do it 6 or 7 times a day, it starts to add up.
say i have 10 configuration profiles and 2 of them happen to have ENERGY SAVER settings. Names of the 2 config profiles with energy saver settings are below. Which one of them gets their settings applied to the mac laptop? Gaming Energy Saver. (Battery: sleep 30, display sleep 30) (Adapter: sleep 30, display sleep 1 hour) Action Energy Saver. (Battery: sleep 15, display sleep 10) (Adapter: sleep 15, display sleep 10)

Hello! I am looking to disable the first "transfer your data" prompt before the enrollment screen on macOS. (Seqouia) When I wiped my device from JAMF PRO management portal after upgrading to Seqouia, I noticed BEFORE the enrollment screen, a "Migration Assistant" - "Transfer your data" prompt. How can I disable this prompt before enrollment? I have PreStage options disabled to NOT show transfer wizard (pictured) - confirmed the device is getting the proper prestage profile. And when enrollment pops up, and I finally enroll, I can confirm the migration assistant\\Transfer your data does not prompt.

(Not Jamf Pro specific but I figure this is the most appropriate channel) If you've been using Microsoft AutoUpdate (MAU) to manage updates to Office for Mac you might have noticed that your Office apps have been stuck on the October 2023 Office 16.78 release (the last release to support an Office 2019 license). This appears to be due MAU's license detection mechanism failing to properly detect a Microsoft 365 Subscription license since MAU 4.65 released in November 2023. If you aren't seeing the post 16.78 Office releases, and your users have Microsoft 365 Subscription licenses, deploy a Configuration Profile with an Application & Custom Settings payload for the com.microsoft.autoupdate2 preferences domain and the .plist: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>AppCustomPref</key> <dict>
Hi all, I've seen various threads on this, some dating back to years ago, and I was hoping to get some concrete suggestions on the most efficient way to go about this. We're wanting to deploy only the VPN, Umbrella, and AMP portions of AnyConnect, along with their respective config files from our organization. I've seen seen mention of using the Packages app, as well as Pacifist, but going that route leads to the com.apple.installer issue. I've tried a myriad of different things, but I can't seem to get it setup without issue. Any insight is greatly appreciated!
Hello, we use Cisco AnyConnect 5 on our Mac systems. The one feature I've been unable to get working so far is our VPN management tunnel. We have the management tunnel configured by an XML file on our Windows systems but I can't find any information on where exactly it should go in MacOS (we're running 13.5.2) or how I can use Jamf to push this profile to make sure the management tunnel connects, even before login if possible.Any suggestions?
Hi Guys, I'm trying to deploy SentinelOne and followed all the steps in the HCSOnline PDF, but I'm still getting an error. I've attached a screenshot of the error. Any advice or help would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance!
I can't see the new setting that was deployed in the 11.17RC unless this was pulled? "Jamf Pro now includes a new page that enables administrators to set Self Service+ as the default application and remove Self Service Classic from managed devices that meet Self Service+ requirements. Self Service Classic remains installed on computers that do not meet Self Service+ requirements. To enable Self Service+ deployment from Jamf Pro, navigate to Apps ⇨ Self Service+, then select "Use Self Service+ as the default end user application."
