Make Jamf VM

When you are too lazy to edit the VMX file, and come up with a fake serial number and Model ID this does all of that for you.

What does this do

• Generates a random serial number or you can set one
• Generates a Device ID or you can choose one

What problem does this solve?

• You can clone macOS VM's and not have them fail a JAMF Pro Install
• Make one macOS VM and user initiated install it ✅
• Clone that macOS VM and try to user initiated enroll it into Jamf Pro ❌ it will trip over the serial number and fail

Dependencies

1. VMWare Fusion and macOS
2. make an macOS VM I forget how I did this but you can google it
3. Browse to where your VM's are located and "Show Package Contents" able to find the .vmx file

How To Use

• git clone https://github.com/zackn9ne/make_jamf_vm.git && cd make_jamf_vm
• sh make_jamf_vm.sh it will prompt you for stuff, there are no arguments.
• Open said VM you just blessed in VMWARE, and now you can enroll it in JAMF without problems

Troubleshooting

• If you have a failed enroll you have to go to the Devices tab in JamfPro and clear out the Device by deleting it, it thinks it was an Device, Not a Computer, I know
• Restart your macOS VM in case you had it suspended when you altered its Device ID and Serial Number
