Hi, I have 3 Macs in my environment right now. 1 test device, 2 sort-of administration devices. I have all the JAMF running on one of those, but I need to move them to another one. So I installed JAMF Pro, I wanted to run Jamf Admin and after I enter credentials, it runs for some time and then I get an error: What is interesting is that I cannot access Jamfcloud from safari on the same computer. Other computer on the same network have no problem. I tried a different network as well and it didn't work. What can be wrong?

Hi,We need to have a log in jamf showing users change of their password.This is requested for AD mobile accounts and especially for local accounts.Jamf cannot make it natively.Any idea on how to make using script, custom extension or else ?Thanks

Is there a way to allow non-admins to install Monterey Software Updates? I thought this had been fixed in a previous version of Monterey/Big Sur but I can't recall.   

Per ABM instruction, we can manually add MacBook to ABM via configurator 2 on iphone, and it should be an enrollment screen at "Select your Country or Region" if you bring the iPhone close to the MacBook.However, I have tried hundreds times and I just could not get to that screen at all... It is a brand new MacBook.This is a very frustrating situation, and I really do not know what to do...😫

HI Guys,   We've been having trouble with our Macs connecting to our home areas, which are on an Active Directory DFS share.   When we try and connect, we get the message the server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time.  Windows machines connecting to the same DFS share have no trouble, and running the command "smbutil dfs " with the relevant share details returns what appears to be a correct list of servers and share names.Doing a google, I found https://community.jamf.com/t5/jamf-pro/issue-connecting-to-dfs-share-with-high-sierra/m-p/188998, but it didn't make any difference, presumably because the servers are already running at least SMB 2 (i think it might be 3).I quickly pinged all the servers listed in the DFS listing, and they all respond.Any ideas of what I can do to at least diagnose the problem, and hopefully solve it?  This problem is happening on fully up to date installs of Catalina, Big Sur and Monterey.

Hi, I am seeing a lot of our systems having the "vpp redownload call timed out <mdmclienterror:72>" error when cliets try to install VPP apps via Self Service on MacOS (most clients are 10.14.2). I have tried clearing the failed commands, reconning, re-enrolling etc with no luck. I am hesitant to revoke all apps as I have seen suggested because I am concerned about the number of people who will experience iTunes notifications about apps not being assigned (the staff at this school are fragile...). Any advice would be appreciated.

Here are the steps I took to package it. I put installer and site token file in var/temp and then dragged the entire folder in to composer. created a package. created a policy with that package and the following command to install the packageusr/sbin/installer -pkg /var/tmp/SentinelAgent_macos_v3_6_1_2964.pkg -target /Applications Result of command:installer: Package name is SentinelOneinstaller: Installing at base path /installer: The install failed. (The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. An error occurred while running scripts from the package “SentinelAgent_macos_v3_6_1_2964.pkg”.)I am at a loos, I have been playing with this for a whole day now and none of the commands I put work... ;(

So the below script was working fine and now no longer wants too.

I know this specifically isn't a Jamf Pro question, but I know many of my colleagues on this board are involved with managing computer labs in K-12 and Higher Ed...The 27" iMac was our "go-to" model for our multimedia, design, and photo labs.  After two years of no lab purchases thanks to the pandemic, we're attempting to catch up on refresh and Apple has now discontinued the 27" iMac, though it looks like it's still sale in the Education Institutional Purchase Apple Store.  However, this model is now 2 years old, and, I'm concerned about maximum life out of these systems - we literally run them here until they break or run out of macOS support.So my question out to Jamf Nation is for those that are also 27" iMacs in labs, what are your purchasing decisions going to be for this year, if you have funding?  My predicament:Mac Studio + 27" Studio Display is out of budget scope per units (~$3500 w/AppleCare EDU Pricing)2020 27" iMac still for sale two years old, not customiz

Since Apple announced the REP for the 2012 Macbook Pro Hard drive cable issue, I was looking at replacing this cable on all 600 that we have in stock(then replacing the drives with ssds). My problem is the way they have us enter spreadsheets is insane. After playing around with excel and formatting all my data correctly, it seems their system still doesnt like it. I was hoping someone else may have had experience with this. Gabe ShackneyPrinceton Public Schools

Hello,I have a configuration profile that ensures that Chrome is always on the latest version using  com.google.keystoneand within it the Google Update Policy is set with a Target Version Prefix.At the moment I have to go into this policy and update the Target Version Prefix every time Google release a new major version of Chrome (which feels like every couple of weeks at the moment).Is there a way of setting it so that I don't have to update it every time (maybe leave it blank or set to 1000?)Thanks

Hey All, I'm getting this message and also one that says JamfDaemon need updating.  I've gone through all of my scripts and EAs to see which ones were calling/using Python and all have been resolved, but I'm still seeing this on new Monterey installs.  Any ideas where else I can look?

Hello all I am trying to put in some configs for our servers into the ~/.bash_profile and ~/.zshrc files of users. It will make connecting to our servers a bit easier for non technical folks with the use of aliases. I am writing a bash script that basically checks if the file exists, if it does it appends to the file, it the file doesn't exist it creates it and then adds the code block into the file. However while searching my own mac i do not seem to have the ~/.bash_profile file . Has anyone does something similar using a script and are there anything things to look out for when doing

Hi,  I'm trying to get a refund on the jamf 100 course, which I will repurchase and attempted. I, unfortunately, didn't have a chance to attempt it within 7 days. I've emailed traininghelp@jamf.com per the info page but just seem to get bounce back emails.  Angelo  

Hello All, What I did that appears to have broken this one machine:I was using this one student machine to create a new bootable external hard drive to be used in order to restore the ASR image. Naturally, the machine installed MacOS, booted to the external, and then tried to enroll. I thought "No, I don't want to enroll this time" since I was just creating a clean boot image. So I went into the "PreStage Enrollment Config" that this machine was assigned to and uncheck it's serial number. This allowed me to boot the machine a second time and not be grabbed by the PreStage so I could continue to customize my boot image - Good.Once stratified, I used the boot image to restore the ASR image onto the local hard drive and re-checked the machine with it's corresponding PreStage.The Machine booted and did the normal "There is a configuration for this machine" thing and it created the new user and logged into the desktop like normal.However, I noticed that the machine was not completing enrol

Hello everyoneI'm using execute command option in the Files and processes payload of a policy and want to run a small script ( 5 lines), I'm using a simple if statement to check whether a folder exists or not and create it, I'm getting a syntax error on the test client when I run it from Jamf however I tested and it works fine if I run it as a script from terminal so this issue is possibly the way I'm using semicolon, this could be done using script payload but I need to make it work this way.This is working as a script if [ ! -d "Path/to/location" ]thenmkdir Path/to/locationSleep 2touch Path/to/location/hello.plistelsetouch Path/to/location/hello.plistfi This is how I added it to files and processes payloadif [ ! -d "Path/to/location/" ] ; then ; mkdir Path/to/location/ ; sleep 2 ; touch /Path/to/location/hello.plist ; else ; touch Path/to/location/hello.plist ;

Good evening all, I work for a large university and am part of a team that manages a lot of Macs with jamf.  I live half an hour or so from work so I'm in the car a lot.  I'd like to know if anyone has favorite podcasts related to jamf or Macs that I could listen to on the commute?Thanks so much.A.

Hello All,I work in a K-12 environment with Intel Macs and M1 Macs. I'm trying to get the Mac OS Monterey Installer package in Self Service and have standard account users be able to install it on their own without the use of our Admin password. I downloaded the Monterey Installer from Apple and then I followed the directions on page 14 of this document: https://resources.jamf.com/documents/technical-papers/Deploying-macOS-Upgrades-with-Jamf-Pro.pdf. I was able to create a package of the Monterey installer using Jamf Composer but I receive this error when trying to install it. I've also looked into some of the scripts that others have shared about Monterey but I'd rather use a package if possible. Has anyone been successful in deploying the OS package? Our students are still using Intel Macs and are standard users so I'm more concerned with getting it installed on theirs rather than our faculty who are admins on their M1s. Any advice? Thank you in advance.

Having issue with postinstall script that I cannot seem to spot. We have done this 100 times, but all of the sudden this package, recreated several times, fails. I have removed and added all spaces and line returns to get rid of anything odd.The package extracts files to a folder then the postinstall script executes MMC_Install.sh to perform the install. I know MMC_Install.sh is sound as I have tested outside capture. The issue is that postinstall fails to launch the sh command. I found the below in console install.log:2021-12-22 10:29:04-06 macos-10 package_script_service[533]: PackageKit: Executing script "postinstall" in /tmp/PKInstallSandbox.0LaYFY/Scripts/macdocusignedit-2.1.0.0-r1.9PgfhO2021-12-22 10:29:04-06 macos-10 package_script_service[533]: Set responsibility to pid: 525, responsible_path: /System/Library/CoreServices/Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Installer2021-12-22 10:29:05-06 macos-10 package_script_service[533]: ./postinstall: /tmp/PKInstallSandbox.0LaYFY/Scripts/macdocu

Does CVE-2022-22963, Spring4Shell, affect any Jamf Products at all?Thanks!

When I push a policy to deploy software in Catalina, the client system runs the policy, mounts the share but errors out while copying the package. Gets "cp: /Volumes/jamf-repo/Packages/Firefox 74.0.pkg: Operation not permitted" Anybody else having this issue? I have mounted the share in the GUI with the same user used by Jamf and I can access and copy the package. Kinda stumped.
