When configuring Casper's push notification capabilities, which Apple service must the JSS be able to reach outbound?

The JSS must reach APNs on TCP port 2195 to send management push notifications to enrolled iOS and macOS devices.
A Casper technician is troubleshooting a Mac that fails to receive policies. Which log file on the client Mac should be checked first?
Answer: /var/log/jamf.log
The primary Casper/JAMF client log at /var/log/jamf.log records all policy execution, check-in events, and errors.
In a Casper environment with multiple sites, what does 'scoping to a site' allow administrators to do?
Answer: Restrict policy and object visibility to a subset of administrators and computers
Casper sites allow administrators to delegate management of specific computer groups, policies, and objects to site-specific admin accounts.
Which Casper feature allows a technician to send a real-time command to an enrolled Mac without waiting for the next check-in?
Answer: MDM push command via APNs
MDM push commands sent via Apple Push Notification Service allow instant delivery of management commands like device lock or wipe.
When adding a package to Casper Admin for distribution, which package format is preferred for macOS deployments requiring pre/post-install scripts?
Answer: .pkg (Apple Installer Package)
The .pkg format natively supports pre-install and post-install scripts, making it the preferred format for complex Casper deployments.
A Casper configuration profile is set to 'Remove' scope. What happens when a Mac falls out of the profile's scope?
Answer: The profile is automatically removed from the device
When Remove is selected, Casper automatically removes the configuration profile from any device that leaves the defined scope.
Which database does the JSS use by default to store inventory, policies, and configuration data?
Answer: MySQL
The JAMF Software Server uses MySQL as its default backend database for storing all management data.
