Install Jamf on your Mac

Download Jamf Enrollment

Enrolling in Jamf is almost automatic — the process requires just a few simple manual steps on your end.  Here's how the Jamf enrollment works: 

  1. When you see this screen, click Get Started.
     
  2.  Toggle between Can't and Can to learn about device management and your privacy. Click Continue.
     
  3. Enter your SUNet ID and the corresponding password.
  4. Click Continue.
     
  5. To begin the installation, click Open Profiles and then click Install in the top right of the Profiles pane. To confirm the installation, click Install.
  6. You're finished! Click Close

Troubleshooting Jamf Enrollment

To confirm that your device is enrolled in Jamf, ensure you have installed the Stanford Device Management Device Profile (System Preferences > Profiles).

The Jamf Enrollment Installer attempts to verify this, and if it fails, you'll see a "Something is Wrong" window

Click Go Back to return to Step 5 above. Click Open Profiles and be sure to click the Install button for the Stanford Device Management Device Profile (from the Profiles pane of System Preferences)

Click Install to confirm.

Enter your password and click Enroll.
