#1: Profiles and Certificates need to be installed to communicate with JAMF first

Step 1: Go to an internet browser and go to the link https://jss.umd.edu:8443/enroll

  • Several prompts will open on the screen, permitting the download of MDM profiles

    • The account to be used should be your local IT assistant or administrator

 

#2: Workstation will now be added to necessary policies and configuration profiles

Step 1a (Optional): Going to Computers > Search on the right side will show a complete list of the added users (This will confirm if the adding process was done correctly)

 

 

Step 2: Under Computers, go to Policies > Click Naming Conventions > Scope > Edit > Choose Workstation by clicking Add, then Add again on the specific device > Hit Done > Save

This will allow JAMF to change the computer name to what it is configured inside the dashboard inventory

 

 

Step 3: Configuration Profiles >Click the Reset Computer Names Profile > Scope > Edit > Choose Workstation by clicking Add, then Add again on the specific device > Hit Done > Save

This will prohibit users from accessing the “Sharing” setting that changes the computer name
