Redeploy

Redeploy

Reinstall the Jamf management framework on one or more Macs. ✏️ Sends a command to devices.

Use it when a Mac's jamf binary is broken or missing, so policies, inventory updates or Self Service have stopped working, but the Mac is still enrolled in MDM.

How to use it

1. Connect to Jamf Pro and click Connect & Check Permissions. The tool checks Read Computers and Send Computer Remote Command to Install Package. Then click Continue → (or Proceed Anyway →).
2. Under Search for Computers, type a computer name or serial number. Suggestions appear as you type (after two characters). Pick one, or click Search to see every match. Wildcards work, for example MBP*.
3. Tick the Macs you want. If the search finds only one Mac, it's ticked for you.
4. Click Review & Redeploy. Review & Confirm lists every Mac that will get the command.
5. Click Redeploy. The command is queued for each Mac in turn.

Results

Each Mac shows Queued with its Command UUID (click Copy to copy it), or Failed with the reason. New Search keeps your connection so you can redeploy to other Macs.

How it works

Redeploy uses Jamf Pro's Redeploy Jamf Management Framework command. Jamf Pro queues an MDM command that reinstalls the framework. The Mac must be online and enrolled in MDM to receive it. A Mac that's offline gets it the next time it checks in with MDM.

Track the command in MDM Command Queue.

Permissions: Read Computers, and Send Computer Remote Command to Install Package (under Jamf Pro Server Actions).
