A collection of scripts and extension attributes created for managing Mac workstations via Jamf Pro.

About

This is a collection of extension attributes and scripts intended for managing Mac workstations via Jamf Pro.

The extension attributes collect information such as:

• version of installed application or component (when normal application inventory collection does not capture the desired information)
• licensing status of installed software
• current system or user settings

The scripts perform actions such as:

• installing applications that aren't available in installer packages
• uninstalling applications (all uninstaller scripts are templated from uninstaller-template)
• adding or modifying user accounts
• changing user or system settings

Usage

See Computer Extension Attributes and Running Scripts in the Jamf Pro Administrator's Guide for instructions on using these resources in your Jamf Pro installation.

Contributing

We welcome all contributions from the open source community to be submitted for review (in the form of GitHub pull requests). Feel free to fork this project and submit changes for approval, but please verify the following beforehand:

• All scripts in this project are intended to run from a Jamf Pro install. We encourage repurposing these scripts as needed for your own environment (under the license terms), but will not store scripts here that do not function in Jamf Pro policies or extension attributes.
• Please make every effort to follow existing conventions and style when modifying or adding scripts to maintain consistency. We realize that the code style used in this project may not exactly match what is seen in shell scripts elsewhere, but this is in an effort to improve legibility and understanding of script functionality for educational purposes. This means verbose commenting, extra whitespace, and quote-surrounded file paths wherever possible, as well as version number iteration and Created/Last Modified labels when a change is made.

Thank you so much for taking the time to contribute!

Reset Safari.sh does not clear last session

After running the Reset Safari script, the option to "Reopen All Windows from Last Session" persists, and successfully reopens tabs from the last session. This is on Safari 17.4, macOS 14.4.

quick question on where to specify the ssh key path for deployment

New to JAMF and found your scripts - where do I place an ssh public key file to be consumed by your deployment script?

specific script in question: scripts/Update SSH Public Key.sh

Recommended addition to file deletion

Suggest adding "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/PepperFlashPlayer" to list of files to delete. Otherwise this doesn't remove the PPAPI version of Flash.

Homebrew Casks - Outdated.sh: Error: $PWD must be set to run brew.

Thanks for contributing Homebrew Casks - Outdated.sh.

When running as-is in an elevated Terminal session on macOS 14.2.1 (23C71), I observed the following error:

# sh /Users/dan/Downloads/Homebrew\ Casks\ -\ Outdated.sh 
<result>shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Permission denied
Error: $PWD must be set to run brew.</result>

---

Changing Line 57 to the following seems to be working as expected:

brewOutdatedCask=$(/usr/bin/su \- "$loggedInUser" -c "'$brewPath' outdated --cask --quiet 2>&1")

# sh /Users/dan/Downloads/Homebrew\ Casks\ -\ Outdated.sh 
<result>Running `brew update --auto-update`...
==> Auto-updated Homebrew!
Updated 2 taps (homebrew/core and homebrew/cask).
==> New Formulae
scnlib
==> New Casks

You have 3 outdated formulae installed.</result>

JAMF-Script/Software Update kickstart.sh

Reset Safari.sh is incomplete

I recently had issues with safari unsuccessfully importing firefox history and favorites. It thought those files were last used january 1st 4001. After googling I noticed this was a common issue. The lines that saved me were :

rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plistls #This one seems to be already present in your script
defaults delete com.apple.Safari

Those should be added to the Reset Safari.sh.
EDIT : source.
