Yesterday I "upgraded" to mySQL 8.0.18 following the Jamf instructions https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/articles/698/title. Everything went really well but I followed the instructions too closely and when installing v8 I named my new DB and user "jamfpro", then I realized when I was restoring my DB from backup that my original DB name and user were "jamfsoftware" Now of course I have no DB connection. I opened a case with jamf yesterday but never heard back, I'm not sure if they were open. I really want to get my DB back online over the wkd if someone can help. Attached are a couple of jamfpro commands that might help with more info:

Hello everyone. The login banner seems to fit into a uniformly sized box that scrolls if there is too much text for it. Does anyone know if it's possible to increase the size of this box so that scrolling isn't necessary? Thanks

Hi all I’m not sure if this is at all possible, but I am looking for an automated solution to move computers from one site to another. What I am hoping to achieve is to assign all new computers to “Site 1”, then once initial setup policies have run, the computer is automatically moved to “Site 2”. Any help is much appreciated!

Hi,We have one school with 1 to1 iPads where several iPads will not connect to Self Service WebClip. Weirdly the Self Service APP does connect and work as expected on the same ipads, and the WebClip, which is a single Configuration Profile district wide, works perfectly on other devices. The issue seems like it is at Apple's end when we look at the firewall.It's quite possible that it is not isolated to one building since most younger grades install their apps automatically, but none have failed that we checked.Any ideas on why this would be? Not making a ticket with Apple since they never really go anywhere for issues like this... Apple's System status is all greenjamfPro 10.17 onPrem

Curious if anyone else has been able to update the config to allow for Catalina updates with Netsus. I am running 4.2.1 if that makes any difference. What I have done is added the new catalog url to reposadocommon.py. ('https://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/' 'index-10.15-10.14-10.13-10.12-10.11-10.10-10.9-mountainlion-lion-' 'snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog'), I have also gone into Apache (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf) and added the new URL rewrite. RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Darwin/19 RewriteRule ^/index.sucatalog$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/index-10.15-10.14-10.13-10.12-10.11-10.10-10.9-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog I then test to see if this is working by running sudo /usr/bin/python /var/lib/reposado/repo_sync. It goes through all of the various supported versions, but stops at 10.14. Doesn't seem to register that I have added 10.15 in there. When I also then go to the URL wher

I only see three fields directly relating to FileVault 2. FV, FV2, and "FV2 Key Type". Does anyone know what are the possible values of the fields?

I'm trying to develop a customized PKG that would be used to install a piece of software both in-person and via Jamf Pro (two birds, one stone and all that). I would like to do things a little differently depending on whether or not Jamf Pro has launched the installer. Is there a way anyone can think of to identify whether or not Jamf Pro launched the PKG?

Hello i am new to DEP and Jamf so forgive my ignorance. My set up is like this: We have a DEP account and our vendors put mac's that we purchase in to the program. We have a JamfPro (cloud) and the connection between DEP and Jamf was set up (ie certificates and tokens were importer ect.) The issue is that macs from DEP do not transfer to our Jamf server, therefore when our techs setup computers MDM account installation automatically is not happening. Also what i end up doing is; Log in to DEP search for a mac by serial number and then assign that mac to our Jamf server.

Hello,Hope people are getting in on the holiday feelings! Anyways, to my problem.I have almost the same issue as described here: https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/discussions/22488/dep-prestage-issue-macs-not-picking-up-prestage In Short: Device is visible and marked in the scope of a prestage enrollment profile, but during the device setup, the enrollment notification window does not appear. With the difference being me using iPads instead of macs. However, for me atleast is that other prestage enrollment profiles are working as far as i know. Atleast with other devices.Ive tried using a different prestage enrollment profile for the problematic iPads just in case, but that didnt help. This same problem occurs with all of the iPads in a batch. but other batches have worked fine. Even batches that im still adding to jamf trough prestage enrollment.I've gone trough my device limit, could it cause problems? Any help would be appreciated. I belive i can bypass this problem by manually

Hi all, Trying to deploy XQuartz to one of my labs because another software my faculty use is dependent on it. I can install it manually just fine, but when I try to deploy (both by converting the given package into a source, and by capturing the installation using a normal snapshot) it comes up with an error that suggests it won't run on the operating system. Still, it runs when I install manually. I took a look at the detailed error message (below) and it looks like it's missing a library. I'm not sure how to get around this? It seems like it could be something that Composer isn't picking up during the installation.

Trying to find way to diagnose how / why a specific keychain entry is getting overwritten for a few of my users. The symptom is that the user(s) complains that they are being asked for a Wifi password to our corporate network. This is being pushed by a JAMF policy. However for one user I remove MDM and re-added. I see the keychain correctly getting added with correct value but shortly afterwards the actual password in the Keychain was changed by something to an incorrect value. User can access the Wifi until the machine sleeps and need to reconnect, at which point they get asked for password. I have gone through configuration profiles and policies and do not see anything that should change (apart from Wireless push). Are there good ways to enable debugging or auditing so I can track what is making this change. Either JAMF is overwriting or an iCloud sync. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Hello! I'm trying to deploy the apex one agent to our macbooks through a policy in jamf pro. At the moment its being done by using a .dmg with the following contents:- .pkg (installer)- one folder with subfolder "conf" and a .plist file as well as this script provided by jamf:installPKGfromDMG.sh The scripts works as it should, but unfortunately only the .pkg file is copied and installed when the script is executed. The folders are being ignored - however, these are required for the agent to connect to the server and should be in the same folder as the .pkg when the installation process is happening. How can I adjust the script or the policy so that this folder is also copied out of the dmg file during installation? Thanks for your help.

So we started pushing out our first micro update (10.14.4 combo) and I noticed when a machine hits the dead line, it will install the update and reboot as intended. However when it comes back up, its not updating the JSS that its on .4 and since its past the dead line it tries again. Im thinking I know the answer but I wanted to check, i'm thinking i need inventory update scheduled to run at startup, and/or reoccurring check in. We dont reboot often so that shouldn't create too much extra work on the JSS. thoughts? FYI: Im just using patch management, with the update pkg uploaded.

Happy Wednesday, Jamf Nation! We're getting ready to deploy Jamf Pro 10.17.1 to our production lane and just noticed what may be a possible behavior change with PreStage Enrollments. In Jamf Pro 10.17.1-t1574185757 > PreStage Enrollments > Account Settings > Management Account > Create an additional local administrator account, the check box reads: Show managed administrator account in Users & Groups In Jamf Pro 10.16.1-t1572055156, this reads: Hide Account Hide the local administrator account from user I've disabled the checkbox in Jamf Pro 10.17.1 and will advise after testing a fresh enrollment. Any and all insights welcome. Thanks.

We've got an emergency application that announces things like lockdowns on campus and when run manually prompts to access to control System Events. Since I don't want to do that for 600+ machines, I'm looking for ways to allow that especially for 10.14 and 10.15.

Hi guys, I am trying to run a script as a Self Service policy that will collect Vectorworks log files from a Users machine and add it as an attachment in the device's inventory. I found this script by Matt Taylor that is really good:https://github.com/matt-taylor934/loguploader/blob/master/loguploader.sh But I can't figure out how to get it to include the Vectorworks log file at this location: /Users/logged.in.user/Library/Application Support/Vectorworks/2019/VW User Log.txt I added a variable for the location of the log file to the compressed zip $vwFileLocation but its not int he output: I guess it needs the logged in user? I don't know how to get the logged in user. Or does it need to run as the logged in user and how do I do that? Scripting is very new to me so any help would be appreciated.

Hey All,Not quite JAMF specific, but wondering if anyone has found a workaround to an issue that came up last week. Since then any of our users (as well as peoples personal machines in their homes) who are using Safari and running 10.14.6 are having issues connecting to outlook. They can all sign in to the main page for 365, but when you click on outlook it just hits loops of redirects it seems like. Only answer I've found is to use chrome or firefox. This does seem like something got changed on Microsofts Server side though since it is affecting machines that have not had a change or update. I saw a piece on Teams specifically having an issue with the "cross-site tracking" feature, but turning that off also didnt resolve the issue. Anyone have a solution?

We are currently using our test environment for the first time so we can test some things with JAMF Parent, Azure AD integration, etc. In setting it up we need to have a VPP account to the test environment so we can push out the self-service app etc. In Apple School Manager how do we create a new VPP account? We tried using an existing, but we can’t in the test environment unless we move it off of the production server. I have attached our Azure AD to our ASM, we have NOT yet reclaimed the itunes accounts waiting until a message is sent to our community first. In ASM we have created a new MDM for the test instance, downloaded the token etc. I have one of our IT members account created and in ASM already, but his is the only one that does not have a token to download.

Trying to correctly create a profile for Faronics Insight to work properly on 10.14. I tried with the PPPC Utility but it doesn't seem to allow everything that Insight should be allowed to do. Anyone already done the work on this and feel like sharing lol? Gabe ShackneyPrinceton Public Schools

Hello All, Very new and still learning to scripting but I came across this restart reminder script and having issue with the script not restarting the Mac. I want to add a hard shutdown comment due to FileVault and T2 chip but can't find a spot to add it.thanks for you help in advance.

Background:I have a policy in the JSS that runs a script with a series of Jamf Helper huds. These walk a user through the instructions for enabling FV2. However I cannot figure out how to force a logout of the current user. I had this all working really well through self service but our users are being very naughty and not running it from self service. We need to move to something more "forceful". However in our environment we, do a lot of hand holding, as in we have to get as close to 100% of the process being automated or we just make tickets for ourselves. ‘tell application “System Events” to log out’ compiled into an applescript app works in 10.9 but not 10.8, or 10.7 - we are mostly 10.8 with some 10.7 and very few 10.9 machines.Reboot does not kick off the deferral asking the user to enter password.killing the login window is too dirty it also does not ask for the password.local bash scripts don't work.su -u $(currentUser) type stuff is also not working.

Hi I am looking at using Kanaka for authentication with Catalina. I have the New version of Kanaka, and it works.My problem now is being able to push it out to all of our Macs. I can install it no problem, I think I can get my server list out to the Macs and use them. However I have hit a snag when it comes to the last step in the process...The instructions say to open Directory Utility, and then unlock and in Search Policy, set custom and add /Kanaka/Auth.I have tried to script a replacement of the Plist, but Catalina isn't having any of that. It used to work in older OSX versions.I am left with scripting the change with "Defaults" "PlistBuddy" or "plutil".Any assistance with scripting the change will be greatly appreciated. The un messed with plist from /Library/Preferences/OpenDirectory/Configurations/Search.plist { comment = "Default search policy"; mappings = { }; modules = { session = (
