Hugely Inspired by other #macadmin scripts/tools this is another munki promoting script:

Looking at the best way to run a network service on macOS with a dedicated account. Good info here https://github.com/freegeek-pdx/mkuser/blob/main/README.md Mostly just trying to limit scope for a launchd process that runs at boot. Access to a set of config/data files and listen on a port.

Not sure if --role-account or --service-account are best?

#macadmin

Can anyone tell me why #ePO doesn't have an “all tags" option to go with the “any tags” task assignment option…? Makes things so much more difficult. #MacAdmin

I’d love to read the email chain inside #Apple where they came to the conclusion that implementing management of Remote Desktop in #macOS should be done via a #MDM management command with no other MDM control of permissions and settings. So I have to continue my Rube Goldberg machine of scripts and API calls to get #Jamf to do the right thing.

Here's hoping on declarative…

#MacAdmin

@paul trust me, as a #MacAdmin I'm in a constant fight to shield my users from the barrage of #macOS's recent security prompts, dialogs, and confusion.

Handy bit of shell script to non-interactively install the Command line dev tools on release versions of macOS https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/698954 #macadmin

Sending much love to my #MacAdmin family in State College PA this week. I will be crashing tomorrow eve (anticipating the unofficial social event), and hope to catch up with so many friends then!!

Speaking of #MacAdmin things - hope to see many of you at @macadminsconf next week

Make sure to keep an eye on / use #psumac

Nice to see

If you're a #MacAdmin and the existing MDM approval configurations for screen sharing are not meeting needs in your organization for video conference solutions or help desk assistance tools - please make sure to reach out to your vendors and ask them about their plans for supporting these new API capabilities

@f I would craft a nice post on the apple develper forums. The other good place to ask around is #macadmin slack.

@stevestreza being a #MacAdmin I think I have 9 or so #AppleIDs for my job and this dialog gets an eye roll from me every time I see it.

@victor yea, seems like an odd oversight — especially with the new component creation they added. I was mostly looking at #MacAdmin topics during #WWDC so I missed this.

Would have been something I would have brought up in one of the Q&As. I'll probably file Feedback once I do some more testing.

This is the best I can get out of the built in animations.

Ok let me do some #macOS #Sonoma beta testing... oh come on.... #MacAdmin

Me trying to get labs of #macOS 13.3.1 to 13.4 via #Jamf #MDM and then also remembering that next week at #WWDC there will be new macOS #betas with their own new mess of probable #softwareupdate issues… #MacAdmin

...glances at the 30 test #iMacs...

#MacAdmin #MDM #Jamf #macOS #updates

#Jamf #MDM #macOS 13.3.1 → 13.4... let's see how this goes… #MacAdmin

Touching the last #Mac stuck on #macOS #Ventura 13.1 — here's hoping for 13.3.1 and it’s ability to get to 13.4 when that drops in the next couple months... 🫠 #MacAdmin

New shell alias that I like for macOS. Enable ACL Write permits write access vi an extended attribute for the current user.

alias eaw="chmod +a \"user:$USER allow read,write,append,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity\" "

Handy for me when I’m connected to a dev/test macOS instance via vscode ssh remote and want to edit configuration files not writeable by the current user. Bit of a workaround for the lack of sudo save in this context. #macadmin

How getting to #macOS 13.3+ when #MDM and #softwareupdate have failed you goes… #MacAdmin
