Jamf Pro

Jamf Pro is a remote management tool used in combination with BigFix to deliver Managed Computer Services to Mac computers receiving Standard Desktop Support.

The Campus Jamf system enables ITS Endpoint Management staff to remotely:

• Install configuration profiles to ensure secure settings are in place
• Approve 3rd-party kernel extensions
• Purchase and install software from the Mac App Store
• Lock lost or stolen Macs to prevent unauthorized data access
• Report on hardware and software asset data

Jamf Pro is installed on BigFix-managed Macs running OS X El Capitan 10.11 or higher.

Windows computers are not managed by Jamf Pro.
