Using QuickAdd-based user-initiated enrollment on macOS High Sierra with Jamf Pro 10.3

Starting with Jamf Pro 10.3, user-initiated computer enrollment now has two modes:

  • macOS High Sierra: Uses an MDM profile to enroll the Mac, with the Jamf Pro agent being installed once MDM enrollment is complete.
  • macOS Sierra and earlier: Uses a QuickAdd installer package to enroll the Mac, with MDM enrollment and installation of the Jamf Pro agent being handled by the QuickAdd package.

However, it is still possible to get a QuickAdd installer package to enroll a Mac running macOS High Sierra. For more details, please see below the jump.

In order to obtain a QuickAdd package from user-initiated enrollment from a Mac running macOS High Sierra, you will need to enroll using the address shown below:

https://server.name.here:8443/enroll/?type=QuickAdd

Note: The Q and the A in QuickAdd are case-sensitive and must be capitalized.

 

To enroll with a Jamf Pro using a QuickAdd package on macOS High Sierra, please use the procedure shown below:

1. Go to https://server.name.here:8443/enroll/?type=QuickAdd
2. Enter your username and password, then click the Login button.

Note: Enrolling with a Jamf Pro server using a QuickAdd package does not enable user-approved MDM. If this is necessary in your environment, I recommend using the MDM profile method to enroll the Mac in question.

    Hi Rich, how does the new User Approved Enrollment affect your Caspercheck script/launch daemon process?

    When I try to enroll a HS client with that url it never gives me an option to download. It does the MDM enrollment regardless of /enroll or /enroll/?type=QuickAdd . Any ideas?

    Note: https://server.name.here:8443/enroll/?type=MDM will get you the MDM profile enrollment page.

    Not impressed with JAMFs new MDM enrollment.
    Seems like it is still in alpha/beta phase

    Interesting that nothing on JAMF Nation discussed this. Had to reference a third party site

    Unfortunately, this QuickAdd package can only be used with the machine you downloaded it on. Looks like you need to use Recon to make a QuickAdd package that you can use on all machines.
