Content posted from June 23 - July 3 did not migrate

Things are a little different around here! As we shared in this Tech Thoughts article, any posts that were created in that space between JUNE 23 - JULY 3 DID NOT MIGRATE. Instead of putting Jamf Nation into read-only mode during our transition to this new site, we opted to keep it open so y’all could keep getting help from the community. If you posted during that timeframe and didn’t get your answer, go ahead and re-post it on the forum now!  If you posted during that timeframe but already got your answer (or don’t need it), no need to do anything else. That’s all! I hope you’re enjoying this revamped version of Jamf Nation. Be sure to reach out to us at jamfnation@jamf.com with any questions or feedback!

App Installers: Upcoming changes to Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat titles

Earlier this year we introduced a new App Installers binary which provided a number of new capabilities, one of the most significant being the ability to download trusted installation media directly from a vendor and then performing the installation whereas previously the installation media had to be hosted on Jamf’s cloud infrastructure.As I described in my previous post, we planned to utilise this external URL method to enable us to add titles that we were previously unable to offer such as VLC and iTerm, now both available in App Installers.We recently introduced a new App Installers capability in Jamf Pro 11.16 that allowed admins to influence the flow rate of MDM commands that App Installers sent to managed Macs in their environment to help address network congestion/capacity issues. This is controlled by the new Deployment settings option in the App Installers section of the Jamf Pro settings page.As the volume of updates for software titles continues to increase we will continue
