JAMF 100 App Deployment and Management Questions and Answers

Question 1

An administrator wants to provide a suite of optional, approved software applications for users to install at their convenience. They want to avoid forcing installations on all computers to save disk space and network bandwidth. Which Jamf Pro feature is the most appropriate solution for this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Self Service

Answer

Self Service is Jamf Pro's on-demand app catalog, allowing administrators to make policies, scripts, and other resources available for users to run when needed. This is the ideal method for deploying optional software that users can install at their leisure.

Question 2

Which of the following file formats is a standard installer package that can be directly uploaded to Jamf Pro and deployed via a policy without needing to be repackaged?

Accepted Answer

.pkg

Answer

The .pkg (Package) format is a standard for macOS installers. Jamf Pro policies are designed to natively handle the distribution and installation of .pkg files onto client computers. While .dmg files can be used, they often require additional scripting to mount and run the installer within, making .pkg the most direct format.

Question 3

A company wants to configure the server URL for a specific managed app on all company-owned iPads. This configuration should be applied automatically when the app is installed via Jamf Pro, without requiring any user input. What feature should the administrator use?

Accepted Answer

Managed App Configuration

Answer

Managed App Configuration allows an MDM administrator to define and push specific configuration settings (as XML key-value pairs) to a managed app. This is the standard and correct way to pre-configure app settings like server URLs or license keys on iOS and iPadOS devices.

Question 4

What is the primary function of a Patch Policy in Jamf Pro?

Accepted Answer

To automate the updating of specific software titles and report on patch compliance

Question 5

Which of the following is Jamf Pro's cloud-based distribution point for hosting packages and in-house apps, eliminating the need for an on-premise server for package distribution?

Accepted Answer

Jamf Cloud Distribution Service (JCDS)
