✍️ Sample JAMF100 Questions & Answers

1. What is a Policy trigger in Jamf Pro?
✓ An event that causes a policy to execute, such as login, startup, or check-in

Policy triggers define when a policy fires — built-in triggers include check-in, startup, login, logout, and enrollment, or a custom event string.

2. What is the recommended best practice for testing a new script in Jamf Pro before deploying it broadly?
✓ Scope the policy to a small test group, verify results in the policy logs, then expand scope gradually

Best practice is to scope the policy to a small test group first, verify execution results in the policy logs, and then gradually broaden the scope to limit risk during deployment.

3. What is the 'Custom Event' trigger used for in Jamf Pro policies?
✓ Allowing policies to be triggered by a custom string via the jamf binary on the client

Custom Event triggers allow policies to be called by running 'jamf policy -event ' on a managed Mac, enabling script-to-policy chaining and on-demand invocation.

4. What execution frequency setting causes a Jamf Pro policy to run only once per computer, regardless of how many users log in?
✓ Once per computer

'Once per computer' ensures the policy runs exactly one time on each computer, tracking by device rather than by user.

5. What is Declarative Device Management (DDM) and how does Jamf Pro use it?
✓ A newer Apple MDM framework where devices manage their own state based on declarations from the server

DDM is Apple's evolution of MDM where the server sends declarations (desired state) and devices autonomously ensure they match, reducing round trips and improving reliability.

6. What is the purpose of the Jamf Pro compliance baseline feature using Extension Attributes and Smart Groups?
✓ Building a continuous compliance framework that auto-identifies and remediates devices drifting from the security baseline

Extension Attributes gather compliance data (e.g., firewall status, SIP status), Smart Groups identify non-compliant devices, and policies remediate them — creating a self-healing compliance loop.

  • Progress saved on your device: completed tests, scores and missed questions stay in My Progress, so you can retake only what you got wrong.
  • A printable JAMF100 cheat sheet you can print or save as a PDF.
  • JAMF100 flashcards built from the same question bank.
  • Free JAMF100 practice tests with the correct answer shown after each question.
