Jamf After Dark

JNUC 2026 moved to September and runs Wednesday to Friday for the first time. The two people who organize it explain what else changed. Join JNUC 2026! September 23–25 Kansas City https://www.jamf.com/events/jamf-nation-user-conference/2026/overview/ Jeff Ovik runs JNUC registration. Kelsey Dahl builds the session catalog. Hosts Kat Garbis and Josh Thornton work through the questions people send in every year. Before you commit: you don't have to be a Jamf customer to attend. Your pass covers breakfast, lunch and the Jamf Nation party, and the registration site has a Convince Your Boss letter you can adapt if you need approval to travel. All the conference hotels sit within a short walk of the convention center, and Kansas City was chosen partly because a large share of attendees can reach it in a three-hour drive or less. Once you're there: breakout sessions run 45 minutes, with 10 to 15 minutes held back for questions. Every session is tagged 100, 200 or 300 so you can judge the depth before you walk in, and most sit at 200. The Focus Tracks page groups sessions by topic and includes an Intro to Jamf track if this is your first year. The 2026 catalog covers AI governance, platform APIs and Terraform, platform single sign-on (PSSO), declarative device management (DDM), Blueprints, Self Service+, Jamf Parent and Jamf School. *Things are new this year:* - AI session summaries appear in the session catalog as soon as a session ends, so a session you had to skip isn't lost. - The sessions expected to draw the biggest crowds move into larger rooms, called super session rooms. - Brain Dates are back as well: small-group conversations on a topic you choose, booked ahead of time and held in the exhibit hall. *CHAPTERS:* 0:00 Welcome: JNUC 2026 in Kansas City 1:45 Meet Jeff Ovik and Kelsey Dahl 3:33 What's New: Sept 23–25, Wed to Fri 6:44 Why Attend: Community and Hallway Track 9:16 Why Kansas City?

If you're clicking through Jamf Pro configs manually, you're about to learn why that's becoming a problem. Security teams are starting to ban console access. MSPs are wasting hours rebuilding the same configs for each client. And organizations scaling to hundreds of Macs are drowning in manual changes with zero audit trail.

Join co-hosts Kat Garbis & Josh Thornton with Jamf guests, Iulia Arghir (Senior Product Manager) and Alexander Dove (Senior Sales Engineer) as they introduce and unpack the exciting details of a new feature, Network Relay.  Network Relay provides a modern VPN framework, built into the OS and deployable via MDM. Rather than replacing an existing VPN all together, Network Relay can work alongside it, securing admin specified destinations, helping modernize and better secure an existing infrastructure. Network Relay preserves the native Apple device experience that users expect. Some benefits are the support for app-specific, policy-driven tunneling, authenticated based on the hardware-attested device identity, ideal for Zero Trust as well as secure remote connectivity available out of the box.   Listen to the full episode to learn more!   Looking to sign up and be an early Network Relay adopter?

Join host, Kat Garbis, with special guest, Matt Jerome (Sr. Engineer Desktops, Fanatics) to discuss a common scenario in the Mac Admin world: inheriting a Jamf instance.  You didn't build the Jamf Pro instance — someone else did. Perhaps they built it but not quite in the way you would have done it.  Maybe the instance came through an acquisition, someone left the organization, regardless, this happens  and is usually met with some questions and requires a strategy to navigate. Matt Jerome has plenty of experience in this and created a process of how to navigate inheriting an instance. Matt shares steps he has found to be repeatable and guidance on how to make this as easy as possible.    Please find a list of cited resources in this episode: Tech Thoughts article: https://community.jamf.com/t5/tech-thoughts/from-huh-to-h-e-r-o/ba-p/341348 Installomator: https://github.com/Installomator/Installomator Setup your Mac: https://github.com/setup-your-mac/Setup-Your-Mac Nudge: https://github.com/macadmins/nudge Superman: https://github.com/Macjutsu/super App Auto Patch: https://github.com/App-Auto-Patch/App-Auto-Patch

With guests Marcus Ransom and Kyle Randall (Jamf Solution Engineers), unpack when "good enough is good enough" and when it is problematic.The team talks through real life scenarios about where they have found good enough to be good enough, but also problematic in the long run.Important findings are that some folks, often don't realize there are other options and are going off limited knowledge. That leveraging a subject matter expert could be beneficial in making things more secure and streamlined in the long-run with less issues along the way.The team also discusses ways they have consulted in better ways and approaches to improving technology environments as well as risks of not keeping technology best practices current.The team closes out with asking "what kind of work do you want to do?" as no matter what, whether ripping out an out-of-date frame work requires some upfront time investment, but so does a critical problem down the road.Sean unveils the latest technology tip at the end.

Sean and Kat spend time unpacking the current landscape in identity. Platform Single Sign-on is a new update provided by Apple for identity. Sean provides an update on how we got to Platform Single-Sign-on. They unpack how SSO and Platform SSO have some similarities as well as core differences for admins to understand as they support identity as well as which IDPs have previews available. Kat and Sean then unpack where Jamf Connect is supporting this new equation.

Once upon a time, we tried to pipeline logs to centralized syslog hosts. And it was never great. Then, Apple gave us unified logging and the amount of logs skyrocketed.

Today, we talk with Dan Griggs about the philosophies, some of the tactics, and the massive case statements underneath cmdReporter! OK, so just kidding about the case statements but it was a super-fun episode!
