Question

Reload Jamf Binary

S
Forum|alt.badge.img+9

Hey all.  I have a Mac that I'm trying to get to check-in with our Jamf server.  It's not checked in since April.  I think the Jamf binary needs to be reloaded somehow, but since the QuickAdd is being deprecated, what's the best manner to get the binary reloaded?  

I've taken a few steps from a few posts about verifying the LaunchDaemon is on the Mac and the permissions are correct, rebooting and running a recon, but the machine says "Command not found".  I feel like reloading the binary would fix it, but not sure now the best manner to do so since like I mentioned, the QuickAdd is deprecated. 

 

Thanks.

    You can still run the quickadd package on the device and it will re-install the binary

    @DBrowning , seems like I have used the binary in another situation before and the machine came up unsupervised.  Have you used it lately?

    We use the quickadd in relations to https://github.com/rtrouton/CasperCheck   Have not looked at whether the machine comes back as unsupervised.

    I just ran a test re-enroll and using the QuickAdd seemed to work just fine.  Still wondering where I saw a Mac would be Unsupervised if it was used.  

    Anyway, thanks @DBrowning .

    Is it a Mac with Big Sur in it?  It wouldn’t load the MDM, since the profiles command had changed in big sur.  Thats probably why you’re getting the Unsupervised bit.

    Also i guess its not a DEP (or ABM) device?

    Hey @ tonio_d_monio, it actually is a DEP device and yes, Big Sur. --

    Oh, thats bizzarre… usually DEP’s have them supervised.

    I had a fleet of unsupervised largely because its using QuickAdd to enroll (non-DEP Asian country), and not thru UAE.  

    Could this unit have been enrolled the same way?

    Hi @steve_summers, if a machine is not checking sometimes it's because a policy is stuck and it's blocking the binary. Try a "sudo killall jamf" and then run a recon and see if it works for you.

    @ricardtolosa , I TOTALLY forgot about that command.... DOH!

    Thanks for the reminder, I'll try it out and see if it works.
