Excerpt

In order to improve the self-service and management performance of your school-issued Apple computer, CIT will be enrolling the computer in its new Apple device management platform, called Jamf. This article explains what that process entails, and provides a step-by-step walkthrough of what to expect when your automatic Jamf enrollment begins.

Before You Start

  • Jamf management is for campus-owned computers only. Any personal Apple devices you own will not be included in this enrollment.

  • Enrollment can take anywhere from 20-30 minutes, but you will be able to continue to use your computer during enrollment.

  • Your computer will not need to restart during enrollment. A VPN connection is not required if you are off campus during your scheduled date and time.

  • Please note that the manual portion of the enrollment (see Step 2 below) can take place any time after Step 1 begins.

  • If you would prefer to enroll your computer manually before your scheduled enrollment, please see the instructions at the bottom of this page.

Steps

  1. Once the enrollment begins on the date and time indicated for your department by CIT, the following will happen, all automatically:

    1. A pop-up window will appear indicating that initial setup and configuration has begun.

Manually beginning your Jamf enrollment

If you would rather complete the enrollment before your scheduled date, you can start the enrollment manually by installing a package that should already be cached on your computer.

  1. From your desktop, click Go, then Go to Folder. Enter the following file path (see screenshot below): /Library/Application Support/SUNY Geneseo
