Sometimes, (in my case when using DEP enrollment on a slow wifi connection) the Jamf agent doesn’t get installed properly during DEP enrollment. To fix that here is what I did:<\/p>\n
I first ran the following commands to manually download and “install” the Jamf binary from the Jamf server – All commands must be run as root! (“#” indicates a comment in script fashion not a command to run. Also be sure to replace “<Your JAMF Server>” with the address of your Jamf server)<\/p>\n
# Get the jamf agent binary to the right location
\nmkdir \/usr\/local\/jamf
\nmkdir \/usr\/local\/jamf\/bin
\nmkdir \/usr\/local\/bin
\ncurl https:\/\/<Your JAMF Server>\/bin\/jamf -o \/tmp\/jamf
\nmv \/tmp\/jamf \/usr\/local\/jamf\/bin\/<\/p>\n
# Set the binary to be executable
\nchmod +x \/usr\/local\/jamf\/bin\/jamf<\/p>\n
# Create a symbolic link for the binary so the “jamf” command is in the default path
\nln -s \/usr\/local\/jamf\/bin\/jamf \/usr\/local\/bin\/jamf<\/p>\n
# Create the configuration file the jamf binary uses to find the server
\n\/usr\/local\/bin\/jamf createConf -url https:\/\/<Your JAMF Server><\/p>\n
# Re-enroll computer to get the server certificate
\n\/usr\/local\/bin\/jamf -enroll -prompt<\/p>\n
Once the Jamf agent is installed, the computer was checking into the Jamf server. However I wasn’t able to scope it to policies because it was listed as “unmanaged”.\u00a0 To change that, on the Jamf server I edited the computer’s “General” information tab by checking the box to set it to “Managed”and entering a local administrative username and password on the computer for Jamf to use to mange the computer. Also, since we use “Sites”, I manually set the site for the computer as well.<\/p>\n
Now that the Jamf agent was installed and I set the computer record to “managed”, I was able to scope policies, etc to the computer as I normally do.<\/p>\n
