Setup manger issue deploying plist to /Library/Managed Preferences

[BCPeteo]

To configure zoom for deployment with an MDM Zoom recommends putting us.zoom.config.plist into the /Library/Managed Preferences folder. i have been doing this with DepolyNotify using a policy with a package to put the file in the folder with no issues. I am now trying to replicate this with Setup manger. The policy runs during setup manager and says it installed (also Jamf logs shows this) but the file is not there. I also tried a policy with a script to create this file, it also said it succeeded but the file was not there.

Does /Library/Managed Preferences refresh its self or something when a user first logs in?

I accomplished this with a configuration profile. iMazing Profile Editor has all of the presets you need for Zoom.

Hi @BCPeteo ,

I agree with @_gsm .

You can create a plist using iMazing Profile Editor. Just a small addition when creating the plist:

• Save the plist with the name us.zoom.config.plist.
• Set the Payload Scope to System so that the plist is stored in both /Library/Managed Preferences and /Library/Managed Preferences/"AccountUser" directories.
• Download the Zoom app from https://zoom.us/download/admin.

us.zoom.config.plist.mobileconfig upload it to the Configuration Profile and set the desired Device Scope.

Here is a screenshot of the working plist.

Thanks for the info. I was able to get this to work by copying the us.zoom.config.plist file to /Library/Preferences even though the Zoom deployment support page says /Library/Managed Preferences. It looks like it checks both places. I'm a little hesitant to put it in a profile since it locks it down and we want to allow users to change things.
