Check out Erase & Install.  Worked very well for our Apple Silicon devices

https://github.com/grahampugh/erase-install

I've considered this for Self Service to the end user. I am wondering if there are less clicky way of achieving this like the Intel counterpart.

Hello Killer23D,

You can check this blog here from Jamf which can help you achieve your ask.

My goal is to create an automated method, with the least user interactions. I guess what I am asking is a pipe dream given the new security Apple included.

On Intel devices, the method in the blog works perfectly with no interactions needed.

It's M1 requiring credentials that is a challenge, that article includes my option #1 above, which I am not a big fan of sending credentials in a policy where anyone can access JAMF log or from /var/log/jamf.log. Method #1 also requires a local admin account with secure token already existed. Since JAMF and Apple discourage IT admin from having an institutional local admin account on workstations, I want to create ONE plan that is sustainable and applicable to all the devices we have.

While it doesn't help getting existing devices from Big Sur to Monterey, once you are there, refreshing lab devices should be easier if you leverage a workflow using a combination of 'Erase all Content and Settings' and the 'Automatically advance through Setup Assistant' option in PreStage.

That is exactly in option #2 that I am working on, however I need to upgrade and erase every summer time so there really isn't a solution from what I can gather. There is no mass action for "wipe device" just FYI, I will have to open up each computer record and send wipe command and enter a 6 digits code every time.

You could send credentials through a script parameter option in the policy, then call as below;

localPassword="$4"

localUsername="$5"

"${existing_installer}/Contents/Resources/startosinstall" --pidtosignal "$PID" --agreetolicense --eraseinstall --nointeraction --forcequitapps --newvolumename Macintosh\\ HD --user "$localUsername" --stdinpass <<< "$localPassword"

In my environment, sending the credentials this way works well for both intel and m1 machines (m1 requiring secure token).

localPassword="$4"

localUsername="$5"

"${existing_installer}/Contents/Resources/startosinstall" --pidtosignal "$PID" --agreetolicense --eraseinstall --nointeraction --forcequitapps --newvolumename Macintosh\\ HD --user "$localUsername" --stdinpass <<< "$localPassword"

This is great, do you mind sharing the script (or part of)? I am interested to see how others are achieving this. I'd assume Intel just ignores the --stdinpass correct?

No worries. For whatever reason I wasn't able to use grahampugh's fantastic script so I had to mish-mash some together from the clever folks in links below. 

https://github.com/grahampugh/erase-install/blob/main/erase-install.sh 
https://github.com/jamf/API_Scripts/blob/master/DeleteComputersBySerial.sh
https://github.com/rtrouton/rtrouton_scripts/blob/934cba2a5f6ee9b2e9c0a30c6c7f2c3dc2b3847d/rtrouton_scripts/Casper_Scripts/clear_failed_Jamf_Pro_mdm_commands/clear_failed_Jamf_Pro_mdm_commands.sh

I believe Big Sur Intel still requires the user / pass to start the installer for non admin accounts. You could always split up the two commands using the arch command;

[ $( /usr/bin/arch ) = "arm64" ] && "${existing_installer}/Contents/Resources/startosinstall" --pidtosignal "$PID" --agreetolicense --eraseinstall --nointeraction --forcequitapps --newvolumename Macintosh\\ HD --user "$localUsername" --stdinpass <<< "$localPassword" || *Intel command here*

#!/bin/bash

apiuser="$4"
apipass="$5"
localUsername="$6"
localPassword="$7"

jamfProURL=$(/usr/bin/defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.jamfsoftware.jamf jss_url)
jamfProURL=${jamfProURL%%/}
serialNumber=$(system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | grep 'Serial Number (system)' | awk '{print $NF}')
jamfHelper="/Library/Application Support/JAMF/bin/jamfHelper.app/Contents/MacOS/jamfHelper"

existing_installer=$(echo | find /Applications/*macOS* -maxdepth 2 -type d -name "Install*.app")
dialog_erase_icon="${existing_installer}/Contents/Resources/InstallAssistant.icns"
dialog_confirmation_icon="/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/AlertStopIcon.icns"
macosEraseInstallLog="/var/log/macosEraseInstallLog.log"

DeleteJamfProSerial () {
/usr/bin/curl -k -v -u "${apiuser}:${apipass}" "${jamfProURL}/JSSResource/computers/serialnumber/${serialNumber}" -X DELETE
}

JamfHelper () {
"${jamfHelper}" \\
-windowType fs \\
-heading "Erasing macOS" \\
-description "Preparing the installer may take up to 30 minutes. Once completed your computer will reboot and continue the reinstallation. Start time: $( /bin/date +'%r' )" \\
-icon "${dialog_erase_icon}" & PID=$!
}

EraseInstall () {
"${existing_installer}/Contents/Resources/startosinstall" --pidtosignal "$PID" --agreetolicense --eraseinstall --nointeraction --forcequitapps --newvolumename Macintosh\\ HD --user "$localUsername" --stdinpass <<< "$localPassword" >> "${macosEraseInstallLog}" 2>&1
}

EraseInstall

exit 0

Awesome, I am using grahampugh's script for Self Service used by the end users.

I am going to have a look at yours tomorrow.

Be careful of including JAMF credentials being installed on end users, I read that (can't find the link) it is no longer a best practice. To remove the failed MDM, I am using this: https://aporlebeke.wordpress.com/2019/01/04/auto-clearing-failed-mdm-commands-for-macos-in-jamf-pro/
