Not sure how many people saw this early when I posted it on slack, but I found something interesting over in the knowledge base: https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/articles/424/software-definition-files-in-the-jss The future is looking bright :) View more
So, with 9.93 it dawned on me we can pull details about patches directly from the JSS with the API. This script will check what versions of Office apps using Spotlight to check the metadata, then checks the JSS for the latest patch from the Patch Man... View more
How often does someone at JAMF check this and verify? Seems like they haven't done anything the past few weeks as new versions came out. View more
This thread was started before Sierra dropped, so I am reposting just in case something has changed. Thanks..... We would like to enforce automatic updating of all App Store apps on Mac OS. There is a setting in System Preferences -> App Store -> Ins... View more

Since the release of the Safari 10 update, we've encountered a strange issue where a small handful of clients will no longer open the browser. Nothing in the logs and not even a single bounce in the dock when clicked. It occurs under all users on the... View more
Hello, Does anyone have a reliable Autopkg recipe for Opera? The ones currently in autopkg does not seem to be working properly for me (com.github.keeleysam.recipes.Opera.download). I created a recipe override and it keeps giving me a Nothing downloa... View more
Hello, does anyone know where Apple moved the Software Update service in Server.app 5.2? It seems to be missing from the service list on my 10.12 test server... View more
As expected from the warnings in the Server.app beta documentation, Software Update has been removed as a configurable service. We should expect the Caching Server functionality in Server.app to take over for SUS, but it remains unclear as to what if... View more
Found this nice little limitation a little while ago. So basically, "patch reporting" can't be used to do anything actionable, like, say, patch something. The use case was checking for machines not on the latest version of Chrome, and if found, runni... View more
I'm getting around to creating a policy that will update the entire Office 2016 suite instead of the individual apps. I've been using AutoPKG, which creates smart groups based on the individual apps. I can't find an AutoPKG recipe that updates the en... View more
HI all, I wanted to set up a fleet-wide software update policy that runs twice a month; currently, the default execution frequency that seems the most applicable is once per month. This is probably fine but it would be handy to run it twice a month, ... View more
JAMF Nation folks! I am looking to run a policy within my JAMF Helper script based on the end user's input. Note that most users will not have administrative privileges so this needs to run on standard accounts. Please have a look below and let me kn... View more
Hey guys, I just set up patchoo on a test system and got it working. Caching, prompting and installing is working fine. But when the prompt comes up it just displays the hard coded text messages. Not the description or the package filename. However i... View more

The patch reporting in 9.93 is not picking up the newest version of Sophos. I have read elsewhere on Jamf Nation this is supposed to happen within 48 hours. However this has now been released for over a week and is still not recognised. Can anyone ad... View more
I read somewhere that there was a trick to deploy these apps in a certain way so that when they needed updating an Admin User wouldn't be needed to sign in. Could someone give me the basic steps, please? Also, would this step you are suggesting be re... View more
I can't definitively say this started with the upgrade, but certainly right around the same time frame. A couple of weeks ago, if I went to synch my distribution points, it would basically scan through quickly, pop up a progress bar as it copied what... View more
This may sound like a stupid question, but do Apple's security updates build on each other? Meaning if I install 2016-004 Yosemite, do I have to worry about installing 2016-003, 2016-002, 2015-006, and 2015-004? I know the combo updates are inclusive... View more
Hi all, I'd like to use a custom icon with the JAMF Helper. One thread I've read suggests packaging the icon with Composer and dropping it into /Library/Application Support/JAMF/bin, while another thread suggests placing the icon into /Library/Applic... View more
If I go into Patch Management for all the MS Office apps it is saying that current version is 15.24.16070900, but 15.25 was released yesterday (and announced on JAMF Nation!). Do we need to do something to make sure the JSS knows when new versions ar... View more

I've just upgraded our test environment to 9.93 and I can't see the Patch Reporting option on the left. Do you have to turn it on in settings? What am I missing here? View more
Hey everyone... I wanted to make Google Chrome a part of my automated deployment process and also be available within Self-Service. Why? Users can just download from Google on their own. True dat. But hey, one-stop shopping in Self-Service, right? As... View more
