What is the Jamf Interaction Toolkit?

Jamf Interaction Toolkit, commonly known as UEX, was built with a few goals in mind:

• Setup software deployments that are:
  • Branded and trusted
  • Consistent across the enterprise
  • Notify the user when apps need to be quit or to not be opened
  • Notify the user when the computer needs to be restarted
  • Allow the user to postpone the action based on number of times instead of an end date
• All of this has to be compatible with Jamf Pro.
• All of this has to be work tandem with Self Service.

Over time this tool has grown into a full set of versatile scripts that can essentially be used as your primary method for creating policies.

OR

You can just use it for your next macOS Upgrade.

What can it do?

The UEX Toolkit supports all types of deployment needs:

• User needs to Quit an application[s] before a policy starts
  • Prevent those apps from opening during the policy
  • Re-open apps previously quit after the policy runs.
• Inform the user of a restart or logout before a policy starts
  • Require the computer to be connected to power
• Support running other policies after the user acknowledges a custom message trigger
• Support forceful running of Compliance Policies
• Detect if the user is in a presentation
• FileVault authenticated restarts
• Apple Software Updates
• Detection of insufficient space and workflows to create tickets

What does it look like?

• Example of a policy at Check-in for a MS Word update
• Example of a Google Chrome update From Self Service
