Episode 281: MacAdmins In Higher Education

Mac Admins Podcast ·

2022/09/05

Some of the larger early Apple deployments were in education and many of the more complicated of those were in higher education. This has given higher education deployments a front-row seat to some of the larger challenges in how technology, and specifically the Apple technology, that we manage evolves. We’re stoked to have Jennifer Nieland on the pod this week to help us navigate the hallowed halls of the collegiate technology stack. Hosts: Tom Bridge - @tbridge777 Marcus Ransom - @marcusransom

Mac Admins Podcast ·

2022/08/01

APIs are an integral aspect of how we can programmatically work with any product. The original Jamf Classic API won’t be allowing basic authentication any longer, which means any workflows that hook into the old URI-based REST endpoints will be going away. So there are big changes coming to the Jamf API and Graham Pugh will be joining us to talk through what that means for some of the projects he maintains.

Episode 275: On Windows 365 and the Mac

Mac Admins Podcast ·

2022/07/25

Many a Mac deployment includes computers that need some piece software that just isn’t available on the Mac. This goes back to the early days of Mac OS X. We once called this the “app gap” and while it happens less and less in the modern macOS era, it’s still a thing - especially for financial software packages. We’ve used Terminal Services, Citrix, wine (which drove many of us to drink copious amounts of wine) and other tools to address that gap. Today’s episode with Viktor Glemme explores the good

Mac Admins Podcast ·

2022/07/18

Munki was released in 2009. The past decade-plus has seen MDM first introduced, then become almost a requirement to manage fleets of devices, changes in how we build daemons, develop tools, secure computers, and sign/compile binaries. That last piece could be a little tricky for the future of any custom software. It’s fitting that Ventura Blvd isn’t far from where Greg works, ‘cause in this episode we’ll look at the changes in Ventura and what they mean for Munki - as well as what they could mean

Episode 273: Gabe Sterritt and Lucid Automations

Mac Admins Podcast ·

2022/07/11

The term hyperautomation was a good buzzword for a bit, but we can get a lot of use out of what it actually means. In this episode we’re gonna’ look at some of the automation options available to help us manage all these devices, with varying degrees of scripting requirements, and how we can find that magical place of lucid systems administration with Gabe Sterritt.

Episode 272: Non-Violent Coping Mechanisms

Mac Admins Podcast ·

2022/07/05

Being a MacAdmin is significantly more difficult now than it used to be, and it’s getting harder every year. How does one cope? Keep up? Stay informed? Train oneself? Find the answers? Deal with the extra stress? Stay in tune and aligned with the rapidly-changing IT landscape as it shifts (sometimes under our feet).

Mac Admins Podcast ·

2022/06/27

Multi Factor Authentication is a topic we’ve covered here and there in the past. Yubikey is one of those companies that many of us have worked with. But planning for larger scale deployments is different than getting a key to work with our own password manager or in isolated cases. Further, webauthn and other standards are being embraced by Apple in the upcoming releases of the Apple operating systems. So in this episode we’ll talk about what a Yubikey is, how to use them, and some of those things

Episode 267: Fraser Hess

Mac Admins Podcast ·

2022/05/30

One of those things we all end up managing is how our Apple fleet routes traffic into the interwebs. We often have to go through apps that load network extensions that effectively proxy traffic. Sometimes we call what they do fancy new industry buzzwords. One of the first platforms to use Apple’s frameworks was Cisco Umbrella. In this episode, Fraser Hess joins us to talk about using Umbrella and some interesting things he found along the way! Hosts: Tom Bridge - @tbridge777 Charles Edge -

Apple device management often veers into the devops and automation side of things. Maybe we’re using these tools for our own workflows or maybe we’re trying to provide an elegant workflow for our coworkers to get their code to testing, staging, and production environments. Continuous everything is the name of the game, so today we’re going to talk about CI/CD pipelines with a couple of guests from Veertu.
