Big Sur - Bluetooth.menu no longer exists

We have a set of scripts that keep all devices CIS compliant. On Catalina this snippet ensured the bluetooth menu was visible. #!/bin/bash #CIS 2.1.3 enable bluetooth menu bar if [[ "$loggedInUser" != "root" ]] && [[ "$loggedInUID" -ne 0 ]]; then btMenuBar="$(defaults read /Users/"$loggedInUser"/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver menuExtras | grep -c Bluetooth.menu)" if [ "$btMenuBar" = "0" ]; then sudo -u $loggedInUser open "/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/Bluetooth.menu" fi fi Post Big Sur upgrade the /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/Bluetooth.menu file no longer exists and although I do see a bluetooth menu item on my screen, I can not for the life of me figure out how to open it from the command line. Any suggestions?

Microsoft Flow Webhook update - too long?

My Microsoft Tenant has started warning me to update my Webhooks URLs, the new URLs being longer (going past 255 characters, in case that’s a common limit). As a result, a couple of my workflows have stopped working (on the Microsoft side they’re not being triggered). Anyone know of any solutions, I’d rather not sign up for any risky url-shortening services.

Intermittent login issues on macOS 15.1.1

Hi,We're starting to see a number of cases being raised internally about some of our Macs (all on macOS 15.1.1) having intermittent login issues.  Our devices are bound to AD and our users have been logging on fine for some time but now we're starting to get issues.  Sometimes the logins are fine.  Sometimes they take ~10 mins and sometimes they appear to stall completely (waited over 2.5 hours in testing) even on the same device.  The login screen appears to freeze (the time doesn't change) and you eventually get the spinning beachball.  SSH is still working and you can run a "jamf policy" successfully.  "Screen Sharing" reports that the user who has attempted to log into the device is the active user when you connect.Can anyone share some tips as to how we would start to investigate this sort of issue let alone resolve it???ThanksStuart

Jamf admin privledge elevation with code

Hey all,So I know we can use Jamf Connect or even just a script for elevation to admin for a standard user. Has anyone attempted to creating some form script that would require the user to enter a validation code provided for the admin rights before granting rights?The work flow would look something like this, SS policy that prompts for a code. The code would then verify against “something” - maybe an API call. Once it could verify the number it completes the script that elevates permissions temporarily.Im not sure where the script could validate the code from though. Maybe just a parameter that the Helpdesk could enter upon request?Thoughts?

Printer PPD file is not distributed when printer is installed via package deployment

Hi there, I have a strange issue with our office printer. The *.ppd file is not pushed to the devices when the printer is installed. I have followed this guide https://hcsonline.com/images/PDFs/Jamf_Printers.pdf but also used the Jamf Printer Tool to check if I am doing something wrong. Here is the point where I am stuck:the path to the PPD is correctly created on the Macs but empty first I thought it is related to a wrong path (if you install locally the pkg, the path is /private/etc/ppd/RICOH_IM_C3000_PS.ppd and when uploading the *.ppd in Computer Management > Printers , the path is /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/RICOH_IM_C3000_PS.ppd. This is also the path in the linked documentation above. Therefore I assume, it should also be used Worth to mention, the printer driver comes as DMG https://support.ricoh.com/bb/pub_e/dr_ut_e/0001343/0001343934/V11300/Ricoh_IM_C3000_C3500_C4500_LIO_1.13.0.0.dmg and I just mounted the DMG and took the *.pkg from it.

`/v2/computers-inventory` vs `/v1/computers-inventory`

In our Jamf Pro integration, we use `GET /v1/computers-inventory` and `GET /v1/computers-inventory/{id}`. What’s new in the v2 version of those endpoints? Is migrating to the new version a matter of changing the number or is there anything extra that I need to take care of?I wasn’t able to spot any differences when consulting the API reference or the changelog. https://developer.jamf.com/jamf-pro/reference/get_v1-computers-inventory https://developer.jamf.com/jamf-pro/reference/get_v2-computers-inventory https://developer.jamf.com/jamf-pro/changelog/11200-changes https://developer.jamf.com/jamf-pro/changelog/11200-deprecations https://developer.jamf.com/jamf-pro/changelog/11200-additions

Failed Commands / Unhandled exception with the app updates

Hi,I tried to find a similar request among the existing discussions, but I haven’t been able to locate this exact situation yet.(Newbie here, so please don’t judge too harshly!)At the moment, updates for basic apps from the App Store are failing to install, resulting in:Failed command – Unhandled exception.(Emptying the list would result in recurring errors) So far, I haven’t noticed any correlation between macOS versions (ranging from 14.7.2 to 15.6.1) or hardware (M1 to M4 Pro), since updates have stopped installing for everyone.From the installation logs, it looks like this (screenshot attached). As far as I've understood, after bugging out with that script, ( cpuFeatures.split )Would anyone be able to suggest what might be causing this issue and how it could be resolved?

Deploy Jamf Setup Manager via Prestage Enrollment

I’m trying to implement Jamf Setup Manager. I have everything aligned regarding the configuration profile and the Jamf Setup Manager PKG assigned as an enrollment package. But the PKG won’t install. I’m not seeing any logging or the app in the Utilities folder after enrollment. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
