You can bind computers to a directory service using a policy.

Requirements

To bind computers to a directory service, you need a directory binding in Jamf Pro.

  1. In Jamf Pro, click Computers in the sidebar.
  2. Click Policies in the sidebar.
  3. Click New.
  4. Use the General payload to configure basic settings for the policy, including the trigger and execution frequency.
  5. Select the Directory Bindings payload and click Configure.
  6. Click Add for the directory service you want to bind to.
  7. Use the Restart Options payload to configure settings for restarting computers.
  8. Click the Scope tab and configure the scope of the policy.
  9. (Optional) Click the Self Service tab and make the policy available in Self Service.
  10. (Optional) Click the User Interaction tab and configure messaging and deferral options.

    For example, if you are including restart options as part of the policy and want to warn users, you could enter a message similar to the following in the Restart Message field:

    This computer will restart in 5 minutes. Please save anything you are working on and log out by choosing Log Out from the bottom of the Apple menu.

  11. Click Save .

The policy runs on computers in the scope the next time they check in with Jamf Pro and meet the criteria in the General payload.
