![]() ![]() That last part was mostly an opinion that I hold based on a introduction video JAMF made.I'm still a bit fresh (to say the least) to MACs and OSX in general but to flat out make the comment triggered me.Īlso note that the writing is on the wall and the future (for some, present) of Mac OS management (esp. MDM along with config mgmt (Puppet, Chef, Salt, Ansible) are the way to go (forward). There’s also Filewave, various MDM products, and Kace which I supported and fixed (horrifically bad, incomplete & incorrect documentation for OS C), for Mac support. Munki is free & ARD is limited but great for some things nonetheless. I don’t use it and said nothing for or against it so your reply is a bit strange, to me. That was one of many items listed and is widely used. My personal opinion is not very high regarding JAMF - it is a "good" piece of software but watching some of the videos they come off very arrogant and ignorant about superior OSs and users preferences.claiming OSX is the prefered by a vast majority of users.given the choice.so I'm very impressed with this opinion based "fact" as they claimed on their survey.Reminds me a little of "Alternative Facts" and "Fake News" This was more for people who might not have those MM Software packages, they aren't exactly cheap for a small business and can be a bit overkill :) This was remove a Mac Management Software that we no longer use - Something useful through Putty (which support SSH connections). There's no registry, so that's it in a simplified nutshell - no muss, no fuss. Yes, admin rights is par for the course as needed, no different than any other OS -)įor apps that don't install any system-level items (launchd startup items), simply remove the app and settings (/Library/Preferences/ and/or ~/User/*/Library/Preferences/) - Office 2016 is an exception. Now then: Many applications don't provide an uninstaller and there is no need for one (for standalone apps). Putty is great if needing to work from Windows, but I assure you, most Mac admins work from OS X or use client-management, from ssh (native to OS X) through Apple Remote Desktop, up to Munki, Chef/Puppet etc., Jamf and others. Please note for the 2nd part you will need to check if you are using dockutil, believe it should be stock standard but some people disable/remove it so just double check. In this example we uninstalled Parallels Mac Management (terrific tool btw) Just thought I would share this on here if anyone needs/wants to Silently uninstall something from OSX (via Putty) you will need to know the computers IP address and have local admin rights
