Did the mission of Jamf Nation change with the recent update? The recent activity feed is full of volunteer stuff, did I miss a memo somewhere?
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
If you’re the “tech support” for your household (and maybe your extended family), you know that keeping iPads, Macs, and iPhones updated, secure, and kid-appropriate can be a full-time job. Over the years, I’ve juggled everything from my children’s iPads to my wife’s iPad, my own Mac Studio and Mac mini, and evennmore devices as the family grows. As a parent of three kids under 10, I find myself constantly navigating what it means to raise emotionally healthy, curious, and safe children in a tech-saturated world. Each of our children has their own iPad. Two of them also bring school-issued iPads home. We share a Nintendo Switch in the living room for family gaming time, but for the most part, our home is firmly rooted in the Apple ecosystem. I settled on a solution that bridges the gap between “family IT” and enterprise-level management: Jamf Now. Why Jamf Now? Jamf Now is a cloud-based Apple device management platform built for small businesses, but it’s also ideal for power users, ti
Today we are releasing Jamf Pro 11.19; highlights include: Impact Alert Notifications for Scopeable Objects These notifications provide enhanced visibility and control when modifying group configurations. This feature helps prevent unintended large-scale changes by giving administrators insight into how their modifications will affect devices and existing group configurations across their organization. Automatic Redistribution of ACME Certificates You can configure Jamf Pro to automatically redistribute ACME certificates to computers and mobile devices at a specified number of days before the certificates expire. To support this function, a $PROFILE_IDENTIFIER is automatically inserted into the Subject of the issued certificate as an organizational unit (OU). Note: Your ACME certificate authority template must also support the inclusion of an OU value to use this functionality. Streamlined Login for OIDC-Based SSO Through Jamf Account A Direct IdP login URL field has been added to the
I created an EA to tell me the last time Adobe Acrobat was used. The issue I am facing is that i have gotten a lot of results showing as NULL. From what I can tell this happens if the user has not launched Adobe Acrobat since it has been updated. Any ideas or a better way to report the last time it was used? #!/bin/bash # Define the path to Adobe Acrobat acrobatPath="/Applications/Adobe Acrobat DC/Adobe Acrobat.app" # Adjust path if needed # Check if Adobe Acrobat is installed if [ -d "$acrobatPath" ]; then # Get the last used date using mdls lastUsedDate=$(mdls -name kMDItemLastUsedDate -raw "$acrobatPath") # Check if a date was returned (meaning it was opened at least once) if [ -n "$lastUsedDate" ]; then echo "<result>$lastUsedDate</result>" else echo "<result>Never Opened</result>" # Or a default date like "2001-01-01" fi else echo "<result>Not Present</result>" fi
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
Hi all - Trying to install Adobe Creative Cloud through Jamf School. I have had success with other .pkg files, but the installer file generated from our Adobe Admin Console is opening up like a folder and not a simple .pkg file. I've scanned the posts here for answers. Tried to send it as a zip, tried to generate a file with Compressor. No luck. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!
Hello all, I am in the process of rolling out OneDrive to our Mac environment. I assigned the app from the Jamf app catalog and put together a plist with all of our settings. I discovered that OneDrive has to have full disk access in order to automatically back up the desktop folder. I used the Jamf PPPC tool to grant onedrive full disk access, however it does not seem to take. I check in system settings → general → device management and I see the config profile, however when I run sqlite3 /Library/Application\ Support/com.apple.TCC/TCC.db \ 'select client from access where auth_value and service = "kTCCServiceSystemPolicyAllFiles"' in Terminal, onedrive is not listed as one of the apps that has full disk access. Any ideas?
Hi everyone, I’m Ajay Hinduja, a Geneva Switzerland (Swiss) a travel enthusiast who’s recently been exploring Apple device management through Jamf Pro. I’d like to deploy an app across all managed Macs in my environment, and I’m wondering what the best practice is for doing this efficiently. Should I use a policy with a custom trigger, Self Service, or is there a better approach you’d recommend? Also, any tips on dealing with app updates or version control would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your guidance! Best,Ajay Hinduja, Geneva Switzerland (Swiss)
If your company needs to migrate from one Microsoft 365 tenant to another, check out MailsDaddy Office 365 Tenant to Tenant Migration Service. It supports email, OneDrive, calendars, contacts, and shared mailboxes. You can map users via CSV, filter data by date, and even run delta migration to keep everything synced. The platform uses Microsoft-approved Graph API for security, and you can track every step through a clean web interface. We used it for over 400 users, and everything migrated perfectly without downtime.
Since July 4 I haven’t seen any Daily Digests. Did they get turned off as part of the upgrade to the new JamfNation?
Self Service + with JAMF 11.18 adds a menu bar icon by default with no way to natively disable it from self-service. Does anyone have any menu bar techniques to remove icons that do not involve using third party apps? Thank you in advance
Like most JAMF environments, we don't let users be admins on their own box, so when a user gets a new computer that means that they cannot use Apple's Migration Assistant either, so I had to come up with a "homegrown" solution for users to migrate their data instead of having the IT do the transfer for them. This a constant work in progress, and in no way as comprehensive as Apple's utility, but it works to get the job done. Feel free to use in your own environment and let me know of any feedback / usability enhancements, etc... Again...this is not perfect in any way, and always a WIP, so if you use this test, test, test! Enjoy... Source Code: https://github.com/ScottEKendall/JAMF-Pro-Scripts/tree/main/MigrationWizard
