Manually create the Auto-Update for Jamf Notifications Profile

  • Updated

Introduction

This document has been written to guide Mac Administrators that are using our Auto-Update for Jamf service through the process of manually creating the Notifications profile. 

We would always recommend using the profile provided by your implementation engineer, but this guide also accommodates for if there is a specific need to create one using the Jamf Pro UI.

Process

Step 1: Open your Jamf Pro web interface and navigate to "Computers" > "Configuration Profiles".

Step 7: Save this profile and deploy it out to devices running macOS 10.15 or newer and with a UAMDM Approved status. Deploying this device to earlier macOS versions will result in the settings not being honoured when the device is upgraded. Attempting to deploy this to a non-UAMDM Approved device will result in the settings being ignored or the MDM server refusing to deploy the profile.
