✍️ Sample JAMF100 Questions & Answers
1. What is a Policy trigger in Jamf Pro?
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?
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?
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' 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?
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?
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.
