Forum|alt.badge.img+11

Hello Jamf Nation,

The extension attributes for Adobe Air, Adobe Flash, Adobe Shockwave Player, Microsoft Autoupdate, and Microsoft Silverlight have been modified to improve the reliability of the commands.

Due to the modifications, you must navigate to the updated Software Title Extensions Attribute and accept the terms and conditions to continue using the Software Title.

Navigate to the Software Title and select the "Extension Attributes" Tab
Click "Edit" in the lower right
Click the "Accept" button
Select the box confirming you have reviewed the script and accept the use of the extension attribute
Click OK
Click Save

Future maintenance is planned for all Software Title Extension Attributes. To receive Jamf Pro or Email notifications when a Software Title Extension Attribute has been modified, see Patch Notifications in the Jamf Pro Administrator’s Guide: Patch Notifications

Contact Jamf Support if you need assistance:

Thank you!

Jonathon

    This has doubled up the computers reported in all my JAMF Pro 10.6 environments. eg. Microsoft Autoupdate now shows me twice the amount of machines with this software installed. The count is more then the computers enrolled in my JSS.

    Same is happening for my Adobe Flash Player & Microsoft Silverlight. Some of the computers in the patch report are listed twice.

    For example: This is the patch report for Adobe Flash Player.

    I only have 146 managed right now.

    @robinsonjo Any thoughts of making the Patch Management EAs accessible as regular EAs? I already had EAs for Flash and MAU, and it seems silly to keep those and have them duplicated for Patch Management. (I am using JSS 10.5.0 so apologies if that behavior has already changed in newer versions)

    Hello @sdagley:

    Good question. I personally cannot make features like that available. We would recommend creating a feature request: Link. Product Owners constantly check feature requests for what everyone is looking for in our product.

    Sorry I can't be of more help!

    Jon
