Hello, I need to create a script to simply turn on the Teamviewer in Security & Privacy > Screen recording. Right now it's a manual process and we're trying to deploy Teamviewer host via Jamf. However the configuration policy that comes with Teamviewer host does not allow us to allow screen sharing. It gives the user the option to allow screen sharing and since we don't want the user to interact with anything, I'm looking for a script that can turn on Teamviewer in Screen recording in Security & privacy:
Hello everyone, i wanted to roll out our new custom TeamViewer Host and everything works except that our custom design with the company logo is not displayed. I did it exactly as in the instructions: https://hcsonline.com/images/PDFs/Jamf_Teamviewer_Host.pdf After the custom logo didn't show up, I kept searching and came across these instructions: https://community.teamviewer.com/English/kb/articles/50739-mass-deployment-on-macos#perform-an-assignment The groups and the membership works but unfortunately our custom layout does not. Am I missing something or have I done something wrong?

Apple Intelligence is finally here now that iOS 18.1 and macOS 15.1 has shipped. However, many people and organizations want to know how they can block it. Apple Intelligence is an Opt-In service from Apple, so unless you Opt-In, there’s no concerns about AI, on or off device. Officially, Apple has provided the following configuration profile keys for the X.1 OSes for the preference domain com.apple.applicationaccess. allowWritingTools allowMailSummary allowGenmoji allowImagePlayground allowImageWand And DDM management of Math Notes. There’s also the key allowAssistant to disable Siri, which has become more intelligent with Apple Intelligence. Currently in the X.1 OSes, these are the features which are available and able to be restricted: Siri, Writing Tools and Mail Summary, even though there are controls for the other features not yet implemented. This will allow you to fully block those features. But is that it? …the answer is …No. So even if you implement all the Apple supplied res
Hi All, Windows admin here, thrust into a mixed environment consisting mainly of Mac’s. I’ve worked with Intune for a few years now, but Jamf/managing macOS is totally new to me. Looking forward to learning a lot, but I was wondering what everyone wishes they knew at the beginning of their Jamf journey?
At some point in your career as an Apple Admin, you’ve (most likely) inherited a Jamf instance and said either to yourself or out loud, “Huh, I wonder why they did that. I certainly wouldn’t do it that way” or “That’s not the best practice I was taught”. Caveat: There’s no such thing as best practice. The better concept is defining the best practice for your environment . This is where you get to step in and be the hero. It’s your job to take the environment, back it up first. Make sure you backup your instance and sync it to your free Jamf sandbox (If you don’t have one, talk to your rep). Once you’ve backed up and sync’d to the sandbox, I hope you’re noticing the theme here…you can get started with the H.E.R.O. process. Something not mentioned is the process of writing documentation. DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT. Write down everything from the current state, proposed changes, changes you made (with dates), how configs work, workflow processes, and everything else. The 1st thing after
Hi, I noticed that rather many of my Mac clients are not FileVault encrypted even though I have configured a configuration that should take care of that. Now I wanted to ask what is the best practice to enable FileVault on all my Macs. As far as I know there is an option to enable it via Policy and one via Configuration Profiles. What is the difference there and what is recommended?
Does the JIM use Apache Tomcat at all?

We got Defender working on our Macs about a year ago - deployed via JAMF Pro and with configuration profiles. We are not bound to the domain and do not use JAMF Connect. I am trying to follow along with Microsofts documentation (Onboard and offboard macOS devices into Microsoft Purview solutions using JAMF Pro | Microsoft Learn) which seems to be written for setting this up from scratch rather than adding it in to an existing setup. It seems to be doing something as we are getting better feedback under Device Onboarding, but still not making much progress. Here is an example of the details in Device Onboarding in Microsoft Purview with the error messages before and the more informative messages after I have created the configuration profiles in JAMF from the above guide: View under Device Onboarding: Before the configuration profiles were updated: After the configuration profile was updated: In the documentation that I linked to near the top, there is a "Before You Begin section which
I blocked the extension installation on chrome, with that un approved extension are blcoked but now I want to remove the un approved extension which is installed previously. Is there any way to removed it? I tried to remove the extension ID with script but in Chrome browser it shows corrupted not removing completely.
Hello community I'm looking for a solution to only allow self-service application installation, even for local admin accounts.I tried blocking the installation process, but unfortunately this also blocks self-service installations.
Some of our primary school students have just used the Jamf Student app to update all the apps on their iPads. The Jamf Student app updated, but now it's asking the students to log into the Student app with a .jamcloud.com account. Our students are 10 years old and do not have any online accounts, how do they now use the Jamf Student app if they aren't allowed a .jamfcloud.com account?
Since moving to JAMF Cloud, we’ve noticed that some time appears to be off. For example, I ran an Inventory Update manually on a computer, and the record in JAMF console shows that it was run 1 hour earlier than it actually was. Also, with Apple TVs we have records that say that the Inventory Update occurred up to an hour in the future. I’m not sure that this is causing an actual problem yet, but concerned that it could. Are there time zone settings we should see or anything? All of our client devices are in the same time zone (unless a client goes on a temproary trip or something).
Hi all, I try to create a user level configuration profile for ethernet (for 802.1x LAN authentication).So basically, the same we already use for WiFi. We currently use a computer lvl profile, which works without issues. But have to change it to user lvl because of the strong auth change Microsoft enforces soon. The settings should work but as soon as I click on save, the network payload vanishes. Without an error or any explanation… As said before, the WiFi profile (also user lvl) works like a charm. Any tips on why this might happen? BR Thomas
