I am trying to change the /etc/krb5.conf file. I have specific settings that I can't share... what I did was create a policy, under files and processes I put vi /etc/krb5.conf and the bash script I need run to change these settings. Did I do this right?

I'm trying to find a way to force a User Profile picture for all users via Jamf Pro. I have spent a day now reading posts about it and they all seem to assume that I already know what the User profile name is and that it is going to be the same on all computer or the scripts are not working/ erroring out or they say to set it up to be done before the user profile is created. none of these solutions work for my needs. I need to be able to force change the picture on all existing profiles with out already knowing what the profile name is.All the computers are running Monterey or newer.Is there anyway to do this?

Hey All, This year Autodesk decided to change the installer for AutoCAD, Maya and Mudbox. Here's how I got AutoCAD to install silently since the new silent installer option is broken. You will want a policy to copy the app from the dmg to a temp directory. I used /tmp EDIT: You only want to change the license server address in the script below. Nothing else. #!/bin/sh year="2021" pkgpath="/tmp/Install Autodesk AutoCAD ${year} for Mac.app" pkgPath1="/tmp/Install Autodesk AutoCAD ${year} for Mac.app/Contents/Helper/ObjToInstall/lib.pkg" pkgPath2="/tmp/Install Autodesk AutoCAD ${year} for Mac.app/Contents/Helper/Packages/AdSSO/AdSSO-v2.pkg" pkgPath3="/tmp/Install Autodesk AutoCAD ${year} for Mac.app/Contents/Helper/Packages/Licensing/AdskLicensing-10.1.0.3194-mac-installer.pkg" pkgPath4="/tmp/Install Autodesk AutoCAD ${year} for Mac.app/Contents/Helper/ObjToInstall/licreg.pkg" pkgPath5="/tmp/Install Autodesk AutoCAD

Hello All,    Just wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing this or has experienced this in the past. Our ABM is showing that it has not synced with Jamf since this update on March 18th. Since then we have not been able to automatically enroll any devices and due to this all of our purchased machines are not being enrolled at all and only show up in ABM. They are not showing up in Jamf despite them showing that they are connected to the Jamf server in ABM. Has anyone experienced this and does anyone know of a fix?

Need to disable Hand-Driven Reactions on MacOS (Thumbs up and 2 fingers on a meeting on MacOS can trigger fireworks, balloons, etc.) We are managing MAC devices from Mosyle tool (Alternate of JAMF) I want to disable this reaction feature for all the devices centrally on all the apps as this is Mac OS feature want to disable this feature on Mac centrally using a script. I know we can disable it by clicking on Green symbol and click on reactions when an app id open, but we want to disable this from Mosyle portal the reason we need a Script. Can someone help me with this.

Hi there,  This option was working till macOS Sequoia.  sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow AdminHostInfo HostName This is working with a profile but now with macOS Sequoia it stops working.  Anyone see the same problem and is there a solution? Thanks

I'm having serious performance issues with the 11.9.1 update (Jamf Pro Cloud). Any time I edit the scope of a profile the interface slows to a crawl and I get the dreaded "Poor network connection" pop-ups. It can take up to 30 seconds or more just to register keystrokes when filtering the list of computers and another 10 seconds or longer to select/add something. It was always slow/laggy working with profiles, but not like this. Anyone else?

Hi- does anyone have a source for the Bluebook Exams installer package?  I can only seem to get it from the App store, and trying to build a package using Composer constantly fails.  (Building works, but the package doesn't work) Have to deploy to a student testing lab...   Thanks!

Hello All,    We want to use superman to update our MacBook fleet but our higher ups want to make sure that this device is not malicious. Has anyone run into this before and point me to any confirmation that this software is not malicious. I know that many people use this to update MacBook fleet as Jamf built in software updates does not work on OS under 13 and asking users to update their devices never works. 

Hi,we recently acquired a Jamf Pro license and wanted to build a update ring for certain softwares.Since Cisco Anyconnect is not available in Patch Management i thought i'll make a feature request.

Hi folks - working with a new jamf cloud and I've run into a problem trying to have a user follow the steps to make their device Entra compliant.  When they log into the Company Portal app (after starting the registration from Self-Service) the login screen for Entra pops up, accepts their username and password, then goes to a blank window.  We know authentication is happening because the MFA for the user kicks off but the login window is blank and does not show the numbers.     Has anyone seen this before?  I was able to do this on a different machine two days ago.  The OS on this machine is 15.0

I've filled out the survey, also going to post separately. I think it would be really beneficial to include the CIS control reference numbers in the UI so we can easily see if we're compliant on a specific control For organisations where there's a demarcation between client administration, and Information Security, the CIS control reference numbers become critical to ensure we're talking about the same thing, and are often used in other vulnerabliity management/scanning tools.

Hi everyone, I've been facing an issue with internet connections just after updating to macOS Sequoia. Two devices running Sequoia cannot establish a connection with each other in Docker.   Error response from daemon: Get "https://europe-docker.pkg.dev/v2/": net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)   This issue started right after I installed the update, and I've heard about DNS/connection issues related to it. The first thing I wanted to test was turning off the firewall, but I wasn't able to make any changes. I have a policy that was supposed to turn off the firewall with the following command:   defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf globalstate -int 0   However, it didn't work on Sequoia, although I tested it on Sonoma and it worked well there. I've tried searching online but haven't found anything that works so far. My question is: Does anyone have any ideas on how to disable the firewal

Hi,  I want to disable OneDrive from the background service, but I don’t know how to do it. Currently, it is enabled, and I want to disable it. On Microsoft’s website, they explain how to enable it, but not the opposite. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/deploy-and-configure-on-macos#background-services Would you know how to do it?

Hi ! Can someone suggest me how to set up a custom analytic to get an alarm if a user (yes, they need to have adminrights sadly) removes the MDM profile? I had some cases in the last weeks where all profiles went missing and i do not want to suspect someone falsely.    Thanks !

So we might be learning this lesson the hard way, but we have an Air that a student has locked via his iCloud account and does not know the code. We've been fighting with Apple support and GSX to get it unlocked but in the interim we've begun discussing how to prevent this in the future. Only way I really see would be to disable the iCloud preference pane (configuration profile I assume?), correct? If that is the case, then you are debating the cost benefit of them being able to utilize the iCloud features against locking and wiping a device as well. If we go the route of disabling the iCloud pref pane, a user could still enable this during an OS upgrade to right? Finally, wondering if there is an extension attribute or another way to query all my devices to see who has iCloud enabled on their laptops?

Hi all - really annoying that the option for pointer size is greyed out and our developers need the option to adjust available.  Has anyone seen this and found a workaround via Jamf through a script or profile? All my efforts have failed, many thanks :) 

I have the following in a script on Jamf Pro. When I deploy the script and it runs this I can see on the test Mac it has "Attempt 1 to bootout com.Daemon" in the log file.  However, it fails to continue with the rest of the script. I tried adding || echo "bootout error"  after the bootout command but that didn't help either. When I run the launchctl list | grep "com.Daemon" command I can also see it has successfully booted out the Daemon.  Why won't it continue to then trigger the jamf policy? I've tried /usr/local/bin/jamf policy -event 'Trigger'I've tried with sudo and without. I've also tried to have it trigger the jamf policy first which works but if I put a delay in the policy so I wait until bootout is complete it doesn't progress to attempt bootout (it waits on policy completing). I tried adding & to then end (/usr/local/bin/jamf policy -event 'Trigger' &) and that resulted in bootout command running but jamf policy did not. When I run the s

Hello,I'm testing the Temp user promotion setting:I have set a com.jamf.connect config profile with the below plistIt's showing correctly on the jamf connect menu bar but when I click and select the reason nothing happens and the timer doesn't show in the bar nor the user gets elevated.Hope anyone encoutered the same issueThanks   <?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>TemporaryUserPermissions</key> <dict> <key>TemporaryUserPromotion</key> <true/> <key>URLCommandLineElevation</key> <false/> <key>UserPromotionDuration</key> <integer>60</integer> <key>UserPromotionReason</key> <false/> <key>UserPromotionTimer</key> <true/> <key>VerifyUserPromotion</key> <false/> </d

We have the Internet Accounts system preference pane disabled, but our users are still able to add accounts to Internet Accounts. I think this is being done via Safari because IIRC, it will ask you if you want to add a supported account when you sign in to that account through the browser. Does anyone know via the command line how to remove these accounts? Or do we just have to temporarily allow access to the Internet Accounts preference pane in order to remove these?

I have been working on a policy that will create a temporary admin account. A launch daemon gets installed and launched to handle the account deletion. Once the alotted time has elapsed, I see the account and its home folder get deleted. I see that the launchd process is no longer running. Everything works exactly as intended, but the launch daemon does not get deleted. I can manually run a command such as "sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.my.launchdaemon.plist" and that works perfectly. The launch daemon triggers another Jamf Pro policy to run that deploys a script that runs the account deletion, deletes the home folder, unloads the launch daemon and then is supposed to delete the launch daemon. A moment ago, I commented out all the steps except the launchdaemon unload and deletion, and watched as the script deleted the launch daemon! Below are all the steps that the script runs. #!/bin/zsh # Delete the Rescue Admin account and its home folder echo "Removing Rescue Admin account" d

Previously the script below from another message made it possible to have custom screensaver files (Photos) that would rotate.  This no longer works in macOS Sonoma.  Does anyone know a new method to have the screensaver call photos from a particular folder in somona via a script or another way.#!/bin/sh## get current useruser=`ls -l /dev/console | cut -d " " -f 4`## get macOS version(s)osMajor=$(/usr/bin/sw_vers -productVersion | /usr/bin/awk -F"."

I watched the presentation given by @chadlawson  and uploaded to the Rocketman Tech channel on YouTube (https://youtu.be/6xVmJqpbEHI) over the weekend. I decided to dive in and change a script that puts a machine into a static group (credit to @sdagley ) but whilst I can see that I'm getting a token, the computer is not going into the Static Group. The reason for changing from Basic Auth to Bearer Token Auth is because Basic Auth is deprecated so I'm trying to get this figured out before there's a panic.Just wondering if anyone can see where I'm going wrong or suggest a better way to do this? The first script below is my working script using Basic Auth and the second longer one is the one using Bearer Token Auth. The second script is mostly using code from Rich Trouton's blog on Bearer Tokens and I do get the Bearer Token but whilst I seem to have no errors, the machine is not added to the static group.#!/bin/sh # AddComputerToStaticGroup.sh # Adds the computer to a stat

Hello guys, I have an IBM ACS software which I need to package and show in Self service. This app doesn't have a regular dmg or an installer. It installs via a script:  Once the script runs, it puts the app in the Applications folder:   This is what the script does: #!/bin/bash # Description: # This script will install IBM i Access Client Solutions in the Applications folder on Mac OS X # # Usage: ./install_acs # args=$@ args_length=$# arg1=$1 prefix_arg1=${arg1:0:9} suffix_arg1=${arg1:9} printhelp="no" default_noparms="no" reset_start_over="no" quiet_mode="no" exclude_functions="no" install_type_shared="no" install_type_preset="no" declare source declare target declare old_target declare source_AcsConfig declare target_AcsConfig declare old_target_AcsConfig function copyProductFiles { echo "Copying product files" >> $HOME/IBM/install_acs_log.txt #Remove the old app so we don't leave cruft laying around. rm -rf "/Applications/IBM i Access C

Hey guys, I have no idea how to get out of this one. Any help is greatly appreciated. I support a High School and a University. The High School started using Jamf a few years ago. This year the University decided to finally get a MDM. They decided to use the High School Instance so I created Sites. This busted my Configuration Profiles. We use a Enterprise WIFI similar to eduroam. When I moved the lab computers to the site it lost the WIFI. I can't connect a Ethernet to USB-C connector because they are running Sonoma and you need to Allow to use Accessories. I can't login, more on that... In addition when I did a erase/install with the laptops last summer Jamf broke my Lab Admin account. It was working at first but then stopped. I created a case with them but they were unable to give me any answers. I thought it was LAPS but I never turned it on and confirmed it is not on. The recommended solution they gave me would be to wipe and re-enroll the computer (and delete the inventory record
