I'm very successfully collecting the last Time Machine backup date using Chad Nielsen's excellent Time Machine extension attribute. Good stuff. However, I swear that I used to be able to -- in a previous JSS (8.x or maybe even 7.x) -- see the number ...

uh oh, Apple must have changed something in the iOS update mechanism. For years, I have been blocking the mesu.apple.com URL at my firewall to prevent my kindergatners from accidentally upgrading our iPads. But now it doesn’t appear to be working. My...

If you can figure out which table in the Jamf Pro database holds this information (maybe "computerhistory"), you can access the classic API and write a script to pull this information for each entry. It's not obvious to me immediately which table is ...

As per the documentation (which is correct), Apple does not allow any MDM (or configuration profile) to enable screen recording in macOS. The end user must do this manually. It is the bane of existence as Mac Admins that we cannot programmatically se...

Are you asking about Computers --> Computer Record --> History --> "Computer Usage Logs" that shows the users login and logout of a particular Mac?
