CCA Software Distribution and Deployment Flashcards

In Jamf Pro (Casper Suite), which deployment method allows you to make an app available in Self Service without forcing installation?

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.

Which Jamf Pro policy trigger would you use to deploy software immediately when a Mac checks in for the first time?

Answer: Enrollment Complete

The 'Enrollment Complete' trigger fires once right after a device successfully enrolls, making it ideal for initial software deployment.

What file format does Jamf Pro use to package and deploy macOS applications via policy?

Answer: .pkg

Jamf Pro deploys applications using .pkg (package) files, which macOS Installer can process silently without user interaction.

In Jamf Pro, what is the purpose of a 'Distribution Point' in software deployment?

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.

Which Jamf Pro feature allows you to cache packages on a local device before installation to reduce bandwidth usage?

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.

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?

Answer: Once per computer

Setting the execution frequency to 'Once per computer' ensures the policy payload is applied exactly one time per managed device.
