- Make Available in Self Service (Correct answer)
- Auto-Install
- Push Install
- Silent Deploy
Correct answer: Make Available in Self Service
The 'Make Available in Self Service' deployment method lets end users choose when to install the app from the Self Service catalog.
Question 2: Which Jamf Pro policy trigger would you use to deploy software immediately when a Mac checks in for the first time?
- Enrollment Complete (Correct answer)
- Recurring Check-In
- Login
- Startup
Correct answer: Enrollment Complete
The 'Enrollment Complete' trigger fires once right after a device successfully enrolls, making it ideal for initial software deployment.
Question 3: What file format does Jamf Pro use to package and deploy macOS applications via policy?
- .pkg (Correct answer)
- .dmg
- .zip
- .app
Correct answer: .pkg
Jamf Pro deploys applications using .pkg (package) files, which macOS Installer can process silently without user interaction.
Question 4: In Jamf Pro, what is the purpose of a 'Distribution Point' in software deployment?
- A server that hosts packages for download by managed devices (Correct answer)
- A policy scope that targets specific computers
- A category used to organize software titles
- A user group that receives software updates
Correct answer: A server that hosts packages for download by managed devices
A Distribution Point is a file server that stores packages and makes them available for Jamf-managed devices to download during policy execution.
Question 5: Which Jamf Pro feature allows you to cache packages on a local device before installation to reduce bandwidth usage?
- Jamf Distribution Point caching
- Jamf Infrastructure Manager (Correct answer)
- NetBoot
- PreStage Enrollment
Correct answer: Jamf Infrastructure Manager
Jamf Infrastructure Manager (JIM) can be used with a local Jamf Distribution Point to cache packages closer to managed devices, reducing WAN bandwidth.
Question 6: When deploying a pkg via a Jamf Pro policy, which option ensures the policy runs only once per computer regardless of how many times the device checks in?
- Ongoing
- Once per computer (Correct answer)
- Once per user per computer
- Once every day
Correct answer: Once per computer
Setting the execution frequency to 'Once per computer' ensures the policy payload is applied exactly one time per managed device.
