Hello Los Angeles Mac Admins! We are excited to announce our second addition of our 2025 rotating venue Mac Admins meetup! This time we will be meeting at the WeWork in downtown Long Beach. With WWDC in full swing, we will have plenty to talk about. Bring your enthusiasm for the Apple platform, your knowledge and experience to share with the group and an appetite. There will be pizza! 📅 Date: Wednesday, June 25th ⏰ Time: 5:30 - 8:00 PM PST 📍 Location: WeWork Long Beach 🏢 Address:100 W Broadway Long Beach, CA 90802 (The WeWork front desk closes at 5pm, and you’ll need keycard access - so when you get here, just drop a note in the LA MacAdmin Slack and we can ferry some folks up to the floor that we are at). Sounds like parking should be a breeze next door in the garage. We’re working on setting up a Zoom link for remote attendees. This is still tentative based on streaming access, but we’re optimistic. If you plan to attend remotely, please register and let us know in Slack so we can
We’ve been getting a lot of feedback that you need to see the compliance status of specific computers to take corrective actions - so here it finally is! Available now in all Jamf Pro 11.18 and newer instances, you are now able to click on each rule of your benchmark to get a list of computers in scope, with their compliance status against this rule, and a link to computer inventory for further investigations. Let us know what you think of this and how it helps you in your workflows. Availability of the data via APIs and exports is the next on our list, so stay tuned!
We’re deploying the CIS L1 baseline to Macs which are using the new Platform SSO with Entra. What’s the best practice in terms of password policy within the CIS baseline? Should we exclude these policies or does using PSSO override them anyway? I don’t want to end up on a situation where the baseline password policies are more restrictive than the company password policy from Entra and have that causing issues with password syncing.
I dunno know who this will help out, but here it be ……… We normally do screen recordings of macOS enrollments. This does several things for us. We provide it to our Support Team so that they can see the new[er] enrollment flow. Become familiar with it. As it sometimes changes from time to time. We share it out with our Security Team as well. So that they can see the enrollment process as well. In case they have a question or request a change that they would like to change. Lastly, we do it for training as well. We show the process of beta’s [macOS 26b3]. So that the team can see the process & changes that have been made or are coming down the pipeline. This has been & continues to be a helpful tool we continue to provide to our teams. However Apple has made some changes with how this process was done in the past. No matter what I tried we were not able to capture any video output until it got to the desktop. This just sux’d, we could no longer provide this service. Sure we could take s
What is the best way to export Management History and the "Inventory Update" log, given that we do not have JAMF Protect yet Instead of having to open each iPad entry and review its log individually, is there a way to export that data?
Hi everyone, I have a user who's been consistently unable to connect to American Airlines inflight Wi-Fi. The device behaves as if there's no internet connection at all—it doesn’t redirect to the login portal, and nothing loads. What’s strange is that this issue only occurs with American Airlines; the user has no problems connecting on other airlines' Wi-Fi networks. What I’ve Tried So Far: Excluded the user from the Jamf Radar profile: This has resolved similar inflight Wi-Fi issues in the past, but it didn’t help in this case.( Once I fixed it I would add it back) Confirmed there are no VPNs or DNS filtering tools active at the time of connection. Had the user try multiple browsers (Safari, Chrome) – no success. Attempted manual navigation to common captive portal triggers like: Captive.apple.com Wi-Fi does show as connected, but again, there’s no redirect and no actual connectivity. Questions: Has anyone else seen this specific to American Airlines Wi-Fi? Are there any other payload
Since moving to JAMF Cloud, we’ve noticed that some time appears to be off. For example, I ran an Inventory Update manually on a computer, and the record in JAMF console shows that it was run 1 hour earlier than it actually was. Also, with Apple TVs we have records that say that the Inventory Update occurred up to an hour in the future. I’m not sure that this is causing an actual problem yet, but concerned that it could. Are there time zone settings we should see or anything? All of our client devices are in the same time zone (unless a client goes on a temproary trip or something).

Hello All, We’ve just started to implement Jamf Pro in our company. Nearly all configurations are completed except sending compliant information to Microsoft Intune. We have to do this because we’re using Azure (Entra) Conditional Access rules in our company. If a macOS device is not compliant it cannot reach internal company resources. Just a simple rule. Steps Completed Jamf <> Intune compliance partner connector connected successfully. Microsoft Device Compliance configuration policy prepared in Jamf Policies -https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/intune-service/protect/jamf-managed-device-compliance-with-entra-id Problem Summary After enrolling to jamf, we are trying to sign in to Company portal and jamf compliance popup appears. Then we are entering our user account details again but somehow Microsoft login page shows that “get app”. It behaves like Company Portal is not installed. Briefly some of our computers are being Compliant without any problem, but some of others cannot
Hi everyone, I’m exploring whether it's possible to allow only certain Bluetooth services—for example, allow HID (keyboard/mouse) and A2DP (audio), but block OBEX (file transfer). On Windows, we can achieve this via Intune using Bluetooth service GUID filtering, but I couldn’t find an equivalent method for macOS. Does macOS support this: Restricting or filtering Bluetooth services/profiles individually? Controlling OBEX, SPP, A2DP, HSP, or HID over Bluetooth? Any workaround using scripts, profiles, or TCC/PPPC configurations? If anyone has done this or can confirm that it's not possible, I’d really appreciate your input or any official Apple documentation to back it up. Thanks in advance!
Hi, I noticed that rather many of my Mac clients are not FileVault encrypted even though I have configured a configuration that should take care of that. Now I wanted to ask what is the best practice to enable FileVault on all my Macs. As far as I know there is an option to enable it via Policy and one via Configuration Profiles. What is the difference there and what is recommended?

Hi Jamf Community, We're experiencing an interesting DNS registration issue with our Mac fleet that I'm hoping someone might have encountered before. Issue Description When our Mac devices connect to our corporate WiFi network, they register in DNS (Infoblox) with generic names like mac.domain or macbook.domain instead of their proper hostnames (e.g., mbp-dav.domain). However, when these same devices connect via Ethernet cable, they register correctly with their actual hostnames. Environment Details DNS/DHCP: Infoblox Mac devices: Various models running macOS All Mac devices have proper hostnames configured What I've Verified I've confirmed the hostname settings are correctly configured on the affected devices: scutil --get HostName mbp-dav.domain scutil --get LocalHostName mbp-dav.domain scutil --get ComputerName mbp-dav.domain System preferences show the hostname is correctly set in the Mac's configuration, and I've checked the DHCP packets which don't seem to include any hostname op
Hello Everyone, We are setting up jamf pro in our org and are going to be managing iOS devices. We are going to be using Cisco anyconnect for our vpn. We have a configuration profile sending the vpn configuration and the certs. The user certs have made it through ise successfully and the app is getting the vpn settings. The issue is every time we go to connect we get the “connecting…” spin until it times out or sometimes we would get the azure sso window and it would just close. Are we missing a configuration somewhere? Thanks for any help
Has this ever happened to anyone else or do you know why this might occur. Our Jamf Connect config profiles like menu bar, login and license installed before the users start date and then it appears that when the user tried to turn on the laptop and sign in they uninstalled which left them with the message in the image below that their version of Jamf Connect was unlicensed.
