Hello All, can you someone guide me how to set different images for login screen and desktop wallpaper. i fine to create 2 different policies in Jamf. Thanks, Santosh
Hello, on macOS 14, With PPPC Utility, i want to create a profil who allow the usage of camera and microphone on an .app. But when i open PCCC Utility or make it across web admin from Jam, there is not “Allow” option available in the select field. I read that the application must be without hardened runtime, but if i remove the hardened runtime, the app can’t be export via “Archive” → “Direct distribution”. Any idea ?
CIS 1 Allow Touch ID to unlock your mac what needs to be deactivated? Hi Hope you can help, how do we allow users to use Touch ID rather than the full password each time sleep is activated. What needs to be unticked in the list of Managed Rules in compliance? Thanks
Hello there, Is there any way to automatically enable Location Services for non-admin users? I know it is currently not possible to set up a PPPC, so I tried some scripts to enable this feature. For example: #!/bin/bash #set -x ########################################################################################## ## ## Script to enable automatically Location Services on Mac ## ########################################################################################## ## Define variables location_enabled=$(sudo -u "_locationd" defaults -currentHost read "/var/db/locationd/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.locationd" LocationServicesEnabled) ## Check if location services is enabled. If so, we will terminate this script immediately. Otherwise, we will enable it. echo " $(date) | Checking if this macOS-device has Location Services enabled or not..." if [[ "$location_enabled" = "1" ]]; then echo " $(date) | Location Services are already enabled" exit 0 else echo " $(date) | Location S
Heya awesome Mac admins! I am still relatively new to this whole Jamf thing and looking into setting up Jamf Setup Manager to install our apps before the user reaches the desktop. I am trying to follow guides and getting hung up quite a bit on step 1 of most them, “package Setup Manager”. This is kind of a loaded step. I have tried several ways of doing this. I have packaged the zip, which didn’t work. I have extracted the .zip to the desktop and then packaged, didn’t work. I have tried putting the extracted zip in different folders, then packaging from there with Composer, didn’t work. How the heck do I package this thing for deployment? The configuration from Jamf Pro is relatively straightforward, I just need some help making sure the actual files are in the proper places.
Hi, I recently set up a new Windows Distribution Point and am now trying to connect to it via the Jamf Sync App, but cannot get a connection. I see the DP in jamf sync, but it only asks for a password, not for a username. No matter what password I use I always get the error Message “Failed to load the … distribution point: cannotGetFileList” Unfortunately the new jamf support is pretty useless as there is not more option for me to communicate in english. All communication is automatically translated to german, but the translation is not that good so I often dont quite get what the supporter wants to tell me. Just english would be much better for me.
Question for how/if we have controls to deploy a specific app version to iPads. We have a couple applications we use and work closely with the developer and schedule when we make the update available on our EFB iPads. We use the check boxes ‘Schedule Jamf Pro to automatically check the App Store for app updates’ and ‘Force App Update’ to accomplish this. Today is the first time we noticed a different version was installed than what Jamf Pro is reporting as available. This is what is showing under Mobile Device Apps. Does it always install the newest version of what’s available in the Apple store via Self Service regardless of what Jamf Pro is reporting? When looking at the Inventory for the iPad we see that 10.5.1 was installed.
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
We've followed the steps given in this guide (https://www.jamf.com/blog/help-users-activate-microsoft-office-365-and-configure-outlook-in-one-click/) but when we launch Outlook, our email address isn't automatically populated like it is here. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what was your workaround? Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Hi folks, I’m trying to find a way to report (at the very least) which of our devices have Jamf Connect enabled in System Prefs>Privacy & Security>Local Network. Based on my investigation, it seems like SIP/Apple blocks this particular preference from being viewed or modified by MDM’s (on macOS 15+). I have seen similar discourse around the weekly system prompts for Camera/Screen recording and some solutions there, but nothing for this. I am preparing to upgrade all of our Macs to Sequoia 15.5, about ~80 computers. My org uses Entra for login + network drives and I’ve found that end-users on Sequoia that don’t have this enabled have issues with password sync and accessing the drives. Grateful for any input or advice!
I have Jamf connect configured with entra ID and requires authentication with their network account at each restart. My users are unable to sign into their macs offline because the account cannot authenticate with microsoft. Is this a setting within jamf connect that I can change to allow a local account to pass through when not connected to internet?
Good Day! I am testing Platform SSO out in our environment and so far it is working great! We are pushing out MSCP via the Jamf Mac Apps. We’re using “Password” as our authentication type. Setup with Entra. And we do not currently have any custom config, just out of the box setup. Our machines are NOT Bound to AD, and we use local standard user accounts to start off with. then register and sync passwords. I have 2 major issues that I would love to hear from the hivemind: We are seeing that we can put in many bad passwords at the login screen without any repurcussions. If the machine was compromised, what is stopping someone from brute forcing the correct password? Is there a way to set password attempts? When a user’s password changes they can obviously go re-authenticate and sync their password again, but what if a user just ignores this and never syncs their password? Meaning whatever their password WAS is what they are using to Log In and then use a different password for their AD A
