  1. What Jamf Pro mechanism is used to automatically install macOS App Store apps on managed devices without user Apple ID interaction?

    Answer: Volume Purchase Program (VPP) / Apple Business Manager

    Apps purchased through Apple Business Manager (formerly VPP) can be assigned to devices and installed silently without requiring a personal Apple ID.

  2. In Jamf Pro, which scope option would you choose to deploy software to only computers in a specific building using Smart Groups?

    Answer: Target a Smart Computer Group filtered by building

    Smart Computer Groups dynamically filter devices by inventory attributes like building, making them ideal for location-based software scoping.

  3. Which Jamf Pro tool lets you test a package install interactively on a single device before wide deployment?

    Answer: Jamf Remote

    Jamf Remote allows administrators to push policies and packages to individual computers in real time for testing before broad rollout.

  4. What is the role of 'Composer' in the Casper/Jamf deployment workflow?

    Answer: Creating installable .pkg files from application installations

    Composer is a Jamf utility that captures file system changes during an application install and packages them into a deployable .pkg.

  5. When a Jamf Pro policy is set to 'Ongoing' frequency, what controls how often it re-runs on a device?

    Answer: The check-in interval configured in Jamf Pro server settings

    Ongoing policies re-execute each time the device checks in, and the check-in interval (default 15–30 minutes) is set in Jamf Pro server settings.

  6. Which Jamf Pro deployment option would you use to silently uninstall an application from all managed Macs?

    Answer: A policy with an Uninstall script or pkg uninstall payload

    You can create a Jamf Pro policy that runs a custom uninstall script or uses a pkg with an uninstall option to silently remove applications from managed devices.
