CCA CCA Software Distribution and Deployment 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What Jamf Pro mechanism is used to automatically install macOS App Store apps on managed devices without user Apple ID interaction?
- Volume Purchase Program (VPP) / Apple Business Manager (Correct answer)
- Self Service
- Policy pkg install
- MDM command push
Correct answer: Volume Purchase Program (VPP) / Apple Business Manager
Apps purchased through Apple Business Manager (formerly VPP) can be assigned to devices and installed silently without requiring a personal Apple ID.
Question 2: In Jamf Pro, which scope option would you choose to deploy software to only computers in a specific building using Smart Groups?
- Target a Smart Computer Group filtered by building (Correct answer)
- Use a Static Group and manually add computers
- Create a new policy for each floor
- Use a configuration profile instead of a policy
Correct answer: Target a Smart Computer Group filtered by building
Smart Computer Groups dynamically filter devices by inventory attributes like building, making them ideal for location-based software scoping.
Question 3: Which Jamf Pro tool lets you test a package install interactively on a single device before wide deployment?
- Jamf Remote (Correct answer)
- Recon
- Jamf Imaging
- Composer
Correct answer: Jamf Remote
Jamf Remote allows administrators to push policies and packages to individual computers in real time for testing before broad rollout.
Question 4: What is the role of 'Composer' in the Casper/Jamf deployment workflow?
- Creating installable .pkg files from application installations (Correct answer)
- Writing configuration profiles
- Enrolling new devices
- Generating inventory reports
Correct answer: Creating installable .pkg files from application installations
Composer is a Jamf utility that captures file system changes during an application install and packages them into a deployable .pkg.
Question 5: When a Jamf Pro policy is set to 'Ongoing' frequency, what controls how often it re-runs on a device?
- The check-in interval configured in Jamf Pro server settings (Correct answer)
- The device's Sleep setting
- The user's login schedule
- Apple Push Notification frequency
Correct answer: The check-in interval configured in Jamf Pro server settings
Ongoing policies re-execute each time the device checks in, and the check-in interval (default 15–30 minutes) is set in Jamf Pro server settings.
Question 6: Which Jamf Pro deployment option would you use to silently uninstall an application from all managed Macs?
- A policy with an Uninstall script or pkg uninstall payload (Correct answer)
- A configuration profile removal
- PreStage Enrollment wipe
- Self Service manual removal
Correct answer: A policy with an Uninstall script or pkg uninstall payload
You can create a Jamf Pro policy that runs a custom uninstall script or uses a pkg with an uninstall option to silently remove applications from managed devices.
