Manual Installation

[pchernoff]

I need to install Jamf Protect on some Macs owned by staff and not on our MDM. When we evaluated Jamf Protect I had instructions for installing Jamf Protect without a MDM but I do not see them any more. Does anyone have a link to the instructions?

I couldn't locate the exact guide either but I think you just go to your Jamf Protect tenant and download the package with the custom profile without the PPPC. Then when you install, you manually approve it.

Thanks. I checked my email and found the link. https://docs.jamf.com/jamf-protect/evaluation-guide/Jamf_Protect_Deployment.html Yes, download the file without PPPC and without System Extension. And after installation provide full disk access to Jamf Protect Security & Privacy > Privacy > Full Disk Access.

The solution above neglects to deselect "Include Login & Background Item payload."

See instrutions below:

Downloading a Custom Plan to Install on Unmanaged Computers:

1. In Jamf Protect, click Plans.
2. Select an existing plan.
3. Click the Custom Profile tab.
4. Deselect the the following from the Profile Options list:

   • Include System Extension

   • Include PPPC

   • Include Login & Background Item payload

   These options must be deselected to install the plan on computers that are not enrolled in an MDM solution.

Great, I'm glad you found it.

Hi! I am evaluating JAMF, trying to do this standalone and I did the install of the pkg, added the full disk access, and downloaded/trying to install the profile as described above, without those two extensions, but unfortunately I get an error saying this: 

Profile installation failed. 

The profile must originate from a user-approved MDM server.

I am on MAc os Ventura 13.0.1 , apple M2 chip. How do I get the profile installed? In this state, I have no computer data sent to jamf protect and my computer is not showing up.

Thanks so much!

Aron
