Like many other Macadmins I was thrilled to learn that 10.12.4 would support a profile to block the Desktop & Documents Folders sync feature of iCloud Drive, and that Jamf Pro 9.98 supported the feature on day one. After upgrading to 9.98 I eagerly d...

Is it possible to use exclamation messages in jamfHelper messages? The message I would like to create would say something like: Heading: Howdy Partner! Description: A multi-line message goes here. It contains apostrophes, like this: ' so I can't easi...

I am seeing the 30 day notification indicator "VPP Account...expiring in 30 days" in our JSS. When I go to our Apple VPP portal and click "Download Token" I get a '.vpptoken' file. So far so good. But when I upload that token to the JSS our VPP expir...

Oops that was a typo, now fixed. The problem is that I am using single quotes within the description, and the escaping has proven difficult. However as I type this I am wondering if I should be using the utf-8 character for apostrophe instead. I'll t...

Thanks @martin but it wasn't the APNS I wanted to renew, but the VPP token. Turns out I was on the right track by uploading the token to the VPP account in the JSS. I think my failure was due to a lack of clicking the "Save" button. Nothing to see he...
