Policy chaining questions

[SeanA]

Imagine a policy chain of four policies (for example, "Preflight", "removeSW#1", "removeSW#2", and "installSW") with a manual policy trigger on each policy with a Run Command at the end of each policy that has a jamf policy trigger which leads to the manual trigger of the next policy. Also add that each policy has a scope of many computers. My question: using jamf policy trigger via command line, if I send the first policy's manual trigger to A SINGLE COMPUTER, will it install all the policies on the computer OR the entire scope of many computers?

I can visualize it both ways

Second, can policy chaining be successfully used within Self Service?

Thanks,

Sean

As a huge fan of manual trigger policies, I can attest once you trigger it, it only triggers to the one machine. One caveat, if you don't set it to ongoing you can only trigger it once.

Depends on the policy, but you could always flush the policy history for the mac at rebuild. So it gets the policy again.
