instal the new version for mac Gone Viral

If you search for a particular computer in your jamfcloud instance and then look at Management History section of the History tab then you'll see 'InstallEnterpriseApplication' commands for each application (but no info about what app is being installed). If you look at more of the log for a particular install (change the eventMessage part to include the app name - I looked at Outlook) then you can see all the steps. What I haven't yet got is any indication of why the install isn't starting Microsoft Defender is failing to install on quite a few machines so I've tried putting eventMessage contains 'Defender' as part of the predicate statement but it finds nothing which I think tells me that Defender just isn't available to the machine (even though it's in the right Smart Group). Scans the log for the last 2 days, looking for events created by the appstored process and with 'Allowing start' in the message - you'll see one of these at the start of every installation. Log show -last 2d -predicate '(process='appstored') & (eventMessage contains 'Allowing start')' Using log show seems to give more useful info - eg Looking at /var/log/install.log will show you the full process of installation but tells you nothing if the install doesn't work. I'm making some progress with the first bit not so much with the second.Īs far as I can tell, the apps don't get installed using the Jamf process they're installed by the appstored process as if they were App Store apps so looking at /var/log/jamf.log gets you nowhere.

I've been trying to understand how Mac apps get installed and why they sometimes don't get installed.
