  • You are deploying Jamf Connect to a managed device that is already enrolled in Jamf Pro.

  • You are updating Jamf Connect and have version 3.0.0 or later.

  • The device does not support Automated Device Enrollment.

Requirements

  • Upload the Jamf Connect PKG and custom files and images package to Jamf Pro. The Jamf Connect PKG files are located in the DMG downloaded from Jamf Account. For more information, see Custom Branding.

  • Create or upload computer configuration profiles for Jamf Connect. For more information, see Configuration Methods for Jamf Connect.
