The pkgbuild binary and Jamf Composer don't support adding single files of 8 GB or more to a package. Some apps like Install macOS Big Sur.app include files larger than 8 GB in their bundles. This script will create a deployable PKG file from apps whose bundles include those large files.

talkingmoose / Big Sur-compatible Macs (regex)

Last active June 7, 2023 19:50

Regex looks for all Mac models compatible with macOS Big Sur. May not be up-to-date with newly released models.

talkingmoose / Manage App Notifications.bash

Last active January 25, 2024 15:26

macOS Catalina will prompt users to allow Notifications from each app that makes a request. Administrators can manage these prompts using a Configuration Profile. If running Jamf Pro 10.19 or later, I suggest instead using this manifest: https://github.com/talkingmoose/jamf-manifests/blob/master/macOS%20Notifications%20(com.apple.notificationset…

talkingmoose / Enable all macOS software updates.bash

Last active May 31, 2024 08:45

The /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist seems impervious to being managed via configuration profile (at least on macOS Mojave). While not enforced management, add this script to a Jamf policy and run it on a routine basis such as once per week on scoped Macs.

	#!/bin/bash

	/usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist AutomaticCheckEnabled -bool TRUE
	/usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist AutomaticDownload -bool TRUE
	/usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist AutomaticallyInstallMacOSUpdates -bool TRUE
	/usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist ConfigDataInstall -bool TRUE
	/usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist CriticalUpdateInstall -bool TRUE
	/usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.commerce.plist AutoUpdate -bool TRUE

	exit 0

Configure Git to use a proxy

In Brief

You may need to configure a proxy server if you're having trouble cloning or fetching from a remote repository or getting an error like unable to access '...' Couldn't resolve host '...'.

Consider something like:

zachbadgett / usbscan.swift

Created December 15, 2015 16:29


	import Foundation

	import IOKit
	import IOKit.usb
	import IOKit.usb.IOUSBLib

	print("Scanning USB Bus.....\n\n\n")
