Is there a way to remove the news previews from the Today View widgets? There are inappropriate news articles that show up for students and parents are wanting this blocked. I have the widgets blocked but it doesn't remove them from that view.

Hi, I know some of you are using Installomator to update third party software and since I need to clear some time I decided to give it a go on a small part of our Macs. They are more or less all the same under ventura. Works great on most of our macs, but for some reason, it does not work on several of them, the logs is giving the same error : firefoxesrpkg : ERROR : Error veryfying Firefox.pkg error : Firefox.pkg: rejectedsource =no usable signature.  Any recommendations ?

We have a fleet of mac and we're trying to prevent users from automatically upgrading their macs to macOS Ventura or any other new macOS that Apple releases. This prevents us from users accidentally breaking their software which do not work with the latest macOS. Is there a way to do this in Jamf?  Thanks, 

My boss asked, "How much data do our users save on their Macs?"Anyone know how I can figure this out? I manage around 800 Macs with Jamf Pro and they don't all have the same size of internal drive, so looking at something like "boot drive percentage full" or "boot drive available MB" isn't too helpful.Thanks,  --Jeff

We are working on a Secure Token policy and have traced the issue to the Parameter Labels not resolving. Here is the script we made to test it: #!/bin/sh ## Pass the credentials for an admin account that is authorized with FileVault 2 adminName=$4 adminPass=$5 userName=$3 ## Prompt for Password userPass=$(/usr/bin/osascript<<END application "System Events" activate set the answer to text returned of (display dialog "IT needs to Activate Encryption, Please Enter your Password:" default answer "" with hidden answer buttons {"Continue"} default button 1) END ) # create the plist file: echo '<?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>Username</key> <string>'$adminName'</string> <key>Password</key> <string>'$adminPass'</string> <key>AdditionalUsers</key&g

Hi,Does Jamf support configuring a firmware password or preventing users from entering Safe Mode?Thanks, 

Anyone have a good way of setting the time zone up correctly? I have tried using the time zone script on the jamf forums, however we are still seeing issues with the time being up to 5 minutes off. Is there a way to enable the automatically detect time zone setting while also enabling locations services to allow this to happen?

Google have pushed out an emergency update for Chrome on the Mac. I've noticed in our 'Mac Apps' - Chrome is not yet up-to-date.Is there a way to force a 'Mac App' to deploy the latest version? Or do we just have to wait for Jamf to sort it out at their end? 

I recently deployed our first enrolled M1 MacBook. I logged in and added the user as an Admin account but the user could not install Teams or Zoom. Both failed after the user put in her password for the install. I logged in as me and both apps installed OK following the user’s method of downloading from the respective websites. User logged in and was able to set up both programs. Is there a Jamf setting that is preventing her Admin account from installing or is this an Apple setting?Any insight would be appreciated

Hi Everyone,I have recently come into a problem with users trying to install applications through MAC self service over Wi-Fi. For some reason, when users go to install an application over Wi-Fi in MAC Self Service, they get an error message. (The users are on our school Wi-Fi) This is what I see on my end: [STEP 1 of 4]Executing Policy Arduino IDE 2.0.4[STEP 2 of 4]Mounting BrooklineCould not mount distribution point "Brookline"[STEP 3 of 4][STEP 4 of 4]However, when users download it when connected through ethernet, there are no problems. Has anyone seen something like this and have any ideas? Much appreciated!Joe

We have SSO enabled (and working) in our environment, but the only thing that it does not work for is the Jamf Admin app. Is it possible to enable SSO for Jamf Admin? Or will it only accept Jamf account credentials?

Hello Jamfnation,Just wondering if anyone has had any luck with configuring the new settings for blocking access to preference panes in macOS Ventura? The old method is deprecated and produces some strange results if used: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/systempreferencesOne example being that blocking 'users and groups' also blocks 'screen sharing' in General > SharingHopefully Jamf will be releasing a config profile setting soon?

Hello Everyone, I wanted to start up a convo around the changes coming to Microsoft Edge updates. Starting with Microsoft Edge version 113, Microsoft Edge for macOS will start using a new updater named EdgeUpdater. More details: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-learnmore-edgeupdater-for-macos Microsoft provided a configuration example, and it appears to use the same logic/keys as Google’s Keystone updater. Can anyone confirm this? Also, anyone know if we need to change our current MAU configuration to not include MS Edge? Thanks! 

We have a couple dozen Sites defined with Macs assigned accordingly. The problem is we have a bunch of Macs that are NOT assigned to any Sites. I'm trying to figure out how to craft a search or smart group to show me all Macs that are assigned to "None" for the site. There doesn't appear to be any way to define Sites as search criteria. Is there a method I'm missing that will tell me what I need to know?

I have my device configured using Apple Business Manager, when I reset the device with my custom PreStage Enrollment, I should be creating a local account during the setup where the user is a non-admin, however every time it runs through my account is an admin.I've tried creating a new PreStage Enrollment, not working.  The device also becomes managed by the 'administrator' account I pre-configure.  Any help would be appreciated!!

Not really a Jamf problem, but maybe someone here knows something. For a few months now I have had the problem that some Macs just wont accept a users credentials after a few weeks or months. I have no idea what triggers this. One moment it works and one restart later the user just cant log in anymore. This happened with Monterey and Ventura. It also happened multiple times and I am sure it was not just typos.This really is a problem because the Macs are encrpyted, so the users cant access their data anymore.I cant really investigate this, because once the Macs are locked I cannot access the anymore.I am using AD bound Macs with network accounts. 

A customer of ours had an interesting question; they want to rename their Macs based on the color of the iMac. e.g "iMac Blue SerialNumber".I can't seem to find any place where the color is referenced. In network sharing and in the about this Mac screen it shows the correct color so I assume it does store it somewhere. I found the icons but I can't pinpoint how it detects what color it is.Any tips? Macs are running Ventura by the way

I am trying to find a way to deploy VNC and Visual Studio Code. Was wondering if anyone has a way to do it and would be able to help me on this. Thank you in advance.

I am testing no-touch app installs and configuration with DEP Mac devices in JAMF.I have a DEP Mac that I registered with JAMF and initially the device info did note that YES it was enrolled via DEP. After testing many settings I wiped the MAC and deleted the entry in JAMF so it can be configured as a new machine. However, thereafter, in the JAMF computer info, the info states that NO it was not enrolled via DEP. The thing is I have a smart group to add devices enrolled via DEP so now this workstation cant be added and the policies i have created that are tied to the smart group do not apply to this machine.What is the trick to get JAMF to recognize that this mac was enrolled via DEP?I also have one error come up: Command requires DEP enrollment: UserList <MDMClientError:74>Thanks!

Does anyone know if and when Okta will be added as a Cloud Identity Provider in Jamf Pro? 

Been searching around in integration, company portal, and azure documentation but the specific item I am trying to figure out is when it prompts for Admin elevation, is it possible to configure to use an Admin group from Azure AD to use Azure AD Admin Credentials? That way we aren't using a local account or logging into an Admin account each time. Similarly as we would do with UAC on a Windows device. Similarly if you were AD bound with an on prem, you could designate an Admin group so could use your credentials. 

Hey Everyone,I'm looking to make an app available for employee's to use when their disk is getting full and to help them easily identify what is taking up space. I see a lot of people on the internet suggesting OmniSweeper or DiskX. I'm used to using TreeSize on PC, and that works really well. There is a macOS version, paid version but for something this lightweight I really don't want to shell out cash for something like this. I'm wondering what all of you use 😁. Edit: I suppose the cleaning portion is not 100% necessary, more so the ability to have visibility what is taking up all the space. 

Is there a way to automatically enable location services for the Jamf Connect app?

Hi, someone is selling Mac book pro in fb marketplace and the price is very reasonable and in my price range. Seller added a note saying that the device is jamf locked. I really don’t know what jamf means and Is it okay to buy the jamf locked Mac and is there away to unlock the Mac?
