Setup Your Mac (1.2.7) via swiftDialog

Update: 11-Jun-2024

Setup Your Mac (1.15.0) with SYM-Helper (1.2.0) via swiftDialog (2.5.0)

---

Leverages swiftDialog v1.11.2 (or later) and Jamf Pro Policy Custom Events to allow end-users to self-complete Mac setup post-enrollment via Jamf Pro’s Self Service.

Introduction

Provide your users a seamless post-enrollment experience in setting up their new Macs.

New Features in 1.2.7

Two new features have been added since the previous and the original post.

Completion Action

Thanks to pyther for the suggestion to add a configurable waiting period to allow the user to review the status of Setup Your Mac after its completion.

Dedicated Failure Dialog

Thanks to master-vodawagner for the suggestion to add a dedicated failure dialog for when something goes sideways.

Configuration

If the core functionality of this script meets your needs, writing code should not be required. However, you should be comfortable modifying scripts before using this approach (i.e., customizing existing settings to your needs).

Latest version is available on GitHub.

Script Modifications

policy_array Variable

For each configuration step, specify:

• listitem The text to be displayed in the list
• icon The hash of the icon to be displayed on the left
• progresstext The text to be displayed below the progress bar
• trigger The Jamf Pro Policy Custom Event Name
• path The filepath for validation
