Stuck with configuring several »Extra Software« Policies after waitForUserEntry

[hutzinger]

Hi!

First of all great tool! Thanks!

I am working with the two phase model.

Some departments require more software that differs from the standard client (e.g. video or layout department). My idea in the two-phase model: Either the users select “Standard” or the appropriate department from a list (e.g. “Layout”). With the waitForUserEntry option I thought to be able to distribute exactly this extra software.

According to my tests, however, this only works if I add a single extra policy. As soon as there are several policies, the software titles that are not required are always displayed in the Setup Manager and run through briefly (even if “Standard” is selected).

My idea would be that the setup manager recognizes that only “Standard” (only standard software) or with the option “Layout” (standard + layout software) must be displayed and installed.

In short: If »Standard« has been selected, all configured enrollment Actions will be shown, also only the »Standard« apps will be installed. If »Video« has been selected, also the »Standard« and »Video« Apps will be installed, but the »Layout Apps « will also be shown in Setup-Manager without installing apps, and so on (for other optional configurations).

** What am I doing wrong? **

You have to distinguish between Setup Manager actions and Jamf Pro policies. They are not the same.

A Setup Manager action does not trigger a Jamf Pro policy. It triggers a Jamf Pro custom event. When the action triggers the custom event, Jamf Pro will check (a) which policies have this custom event, and (b) which of these policies are in scope for this computer. An action can trigger multiple policies, or, in some cases none.

The idea of the two phase workflow is that you put all the extra policies on the same custom event and scope them to the appropriate department(s). Then scoping will sort out which policies actually run.

Thank you for sorting things up. I will try that. But setting up departments with more Software (and disk cost consuming) like Video won't show a detailed status. Only one event for all policies scoped to the department event, right? Is there away to get "feedback"? Otherwise the only way is, to wait until the Mac performs a shutdown. Thank you for your reply!
