JAMF100 Policies and Scripts 3

Question 1

Where in Jamf Pro can you view the policy execution logs for a specific computer?

Accepted Answer

In the computer's inventory record under the History tab

Answer

Policy execution logs for a specific computer are found in that computer's inventory record under the History tab, showing which policies ran and whether they succeeded or failed.

Question 2

What does 'Flush Policy Logs' accomplish in Jamf Pro?

Accepted Answer

Removes execution history records so a policy can run again on devices that already completed it

Answer

Flushing policy logs removes the record of a policy having run on a device, allowing policies with restrictive execution frequencies like 'Once per computer' to execute again.

Question 3

How does Jamf Pro determine whether a script within a policy succeeded or failed?

Accepted Answer

A non-zero exit code from the script causes the policy to be marked as failed in the logs

Answer

Jamf Pro follows the standard Unix convention: a non-zero exit code from a script marks the policy run as failed in the policy logs, alerting administrators to investigate.

Question 4

What is Jamf Self Service?

Accepted Answer

An app that allows users to install approved software and run policies on demand

Answer

Self Service is a Jamf-provided application that presents admin-approved software, configurations, and policies to end users, empowering them to manage their own device within admin-defined boundaries.

Question 5

In Jamf Pro, how do you make a policy available for users to run on demand through the Self Service app?

Accepted Answer

Enable the Self Service payload in the policy and configure it to appear in Self Service

Answer

Adding and configuring the Self Service payload within a policy, including a display name and icon, makes the policy visible and runnable by users in the Self Service app.
