JNUC 2024 — Just Enough of a Good Thing: User-Friendly and Database-Optimized Inventory Updating

The excitement is real! I'm heading to #JNUC 2024 this October to connect with the best in the IT world and explore new Jamf solutions and product announcements.

Join me in Nashville and register today

Apple’s Automated Device Enrollment helps streamline Mobile Device Management (MDM) enrollment and device supervision during activation, enabling IT to manage enterprise devices with “zero touch.”

Setup Your Mac aims to simplify initial device configuration by leveraging swiftDialog and Jamf Pro policy “Custom Events” to allow end-users to self-complete Mac setup post-enrollment.

As a follow-up to the JNUC 2019 "Your Internal Beta Test Program: Opt-in, Opt-out via Self Service" session, learn how to architect invitation-only betas for your elite testers for when your organization pilots new endpoint security solutions, like Jamf Protect, while maintaining your current offerings.

Learn about Continuous Integration (CI) and how to leverage Tart, an open-source tool to run macOS VMs on Macs with Apple silicon.

Nudge is application which reminds your users to keep macOS Big Sur and later up-to-date. Learn how to leverage this open source tool with Jamf Pro.

Help your users have successful presentations with a Jamf Pro Self Service policy which temporarily extends screensaver password timeouts, computer sleep options and automatic policy executions, then automatically restores approved security settings after a configurable duration.

Make quick work of routine policy version updates with Jamf Pro Policy Editor Lite, which leverages the Jamf Pro API to automate routine policy version updates via an interactive Bash script.

In this session, you'll learn how to leverage Jamf Pro's extension attributes, Smart Groups and the API to allow your end users to easily opt-in and opt-out of your internal beta test program. You'll also learn how to increase end-user engagement and methods to solicit and act on user feedback.

Making Jamf Pro extensible by allowing you to look at settings on a device is one of the most powerful (and sometimes easiest) things you can do. In this session, we will walk through how to use Extension Attributes. This includes how to create an Extension Attribute, how the Extension Attribute is run and how to scope policies around them. This is a beginner session, so while we won't teach you to write a script, we will show you how to grab basic information and initiate automated tasks from that information.
