Remove Mac profiles from managed devices

Remove Mac profiles from managed devices

Mac profiles can be configured to remove user and system profiles from Agent-managed Mac OS X devices. This configuration is useful when you have installed a profile on a large number of devices, and you need to remove that profile from all of those devices or from a subset of those devices.

You have used the appliance to install a profile on managed devices, and the original Mac profile has not been deleted from the appliance.
Important:
 
IMPORTANT: If you delete a profile from the appliance, you can no longer use the appliance to remove that profile from managed devices.
1.
Go to the Mac Profile Detail page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Scripting, then click Mac Profiles.
c.
Click the name of a profile.
2.
At the bottom of the page, click Remove.
A dialog appears explaining the remove process.
3.
Click Remove from Device.
The Mac Profile Detail page for a new profile, with the Action set to Remove, appears. The new profile has the same Profile Name and Profile Identifier as the original profile. The original profile, with the Action set to Add, remains on the list with its Schedule set to None. This prevents the same profile from being installed on or removed from the same set of devices, and it enables you to reactivate the original profile later if necessary.
4.
On the Mac Profile Detail page in the Deploy section, select the devices from which you want to remove the profile:

Option

Description

All Devices

Remove the profile from all KACE Agent-managed devices running a supported version of Mac OS X (version 10.8, 10.9, or 10.10). If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, this action includes all supported Mac devices in the selected organization.

Labels

Remove the profile from the devices in the labels that you select. Limiting the removal to labels, especially Smart Labels, helps to ensure that profiles are removed appropriately.

To use this option, you must already have created labels or Smart Labels. See Adding Smart Labels for devices.

Devices

Remove the profile from the supported Mac OS X devices that you select (version 10.8, 10.9, or 10.10). To search for devices, begin typing in the field.

Operating Systems

Select the operating systems of the devices from which you want to remove the profile. Only supported operating systems (Mac OS X version 10.8, 10.9, or 10.10) are displayed. To remove the profile from all supported Mac operating systems, leave all operating systems unselected.

Remove All

Remove all selected devices from the Devices list in this section.

5.
In the Schedule section, select the options for removing the profile from target devices:

Option

Description

None

Do not remove the profile on a schedule. Profiles that have their schedules set to None have a status of Disabled on the Mac Profiles list. However, profiles whose schedule is set to None can still be removed if you select Run Now at the bottom of the page.

Every n minutes/hours

Run at a specified interval.

Every day/specific day at HH:MM

Run daily at a specified time, or run on a designated day of the week at a specified time.

Run on the nth of every month/specific month at HH:MM

Run on the same day every month, or a specific month, at the specified time.

Custom

Run according to a custom schedule.

Use standard 5-field cron format (extended cron format is not supported):

* * * * *
| | | | +────────day of week (0-6)(Sun=0)
| | | +────────month (1-12)
| | +────────day of month (1-31)
| +────────hour (0-23)
+────────minute (0-59)

Use the following when specifying values:

•
Spaces ( ): Separate each field with a space.
•
Asterisks (*): Include the entire range of values in a field with an asterisk. For example, an asterisk in the hour field indicates every hour.
•
Commas (,): Separate multiple values in a field with a comma. For example, 0,6 in the day of the week field indicates Sunday and Saturday.
•
Hyphens (-): Indicate a range of values in a field with a hyphen. For example, 1-5 in the day of the week field is equivalent to 1,2,3,4,5, which indicates Monday through Friday.
•
Slashes (/): Specify the intervals at which to repeat an action with a slash. For example, */3 in the hour field is equivalent to 0,3,6,9,12,15,18,21. The asterisk (*) specifies every hour, but /3 restricts this to hours divisible by 3.

Examples:

•
15 * * * * Run 15 minutes after every hour every day
•
0 22 * * * Run at 22:00 every day
•
0 0 1 1,6 * Run at 00:00 on January 1 and June 1
•
30 8,12 * * 1-5 Run weekdays at 08:30 and 12:30
•
0 2 */2 * * Run every other day at 02:00
6.
At the bottom of the page, select one of the following actions:

Option

Description

Save

Save the profile and return to the Mac Profiles list.

Run Now

On target devices that have an active Agent connection to the appliance, remove the profile now according to the selected deployment options. See Using the Run and Run Now commands.

Duplicate

Create a copy of the profile with Copy of prepended to the profile name.

Delete

Remove the profile from the appliance. This action does not remove the profile from devices on which it is installed. See Delete Mac profiles from the appliance.

Cancel

Discard changes and return to the Mac Profiles list.

The Mac Profiles page appears. The Targeted column shows the number of devices that are scheduled to have the profile removed. The Succeeded column shows the number of devices from which the profile has been removed. On target devices that have an active Agent connection to the appliance, the profile is removed according to the selected options.

Example: Remove a profile that has been deployed to specified devices

Example: Remove a profile that has been deployed to specified devices

If you inadvertently deploy profiles to target devices, you can remove them by creating a Remove profile.

1.
You have created a Mac system profile with these scheduling and deployment options:
◦
Scheduled to be installed daily at 8:00.
◦
Installed, or scheduled to be installed, on 100 target devices.
2.
After creating the profile, you realize that you do not want to have the profile installed on 10 of the 100 target devices. You need to remove the profile from the 10 devices and continue to keep the profile available to the other 90 devices.
* 
NOTE: This example uses a Mac system profile, but you can remove both Mac system and Mac user profiles as needed.
1.
Go to the Mac Profile Detail page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Scripting, then click Mac Profiles.
c.
Click the name of the profile. In this example, we refer to this profile as Profile A.
2.
On the Mac Profile Detail page for Profile A, click Remove.
A dialog appears explaining the remove process.
3.
Click Remove from Device.
The Mac Profile Detail page for a new profile, with the Action set to Remove, appears. The new profile has the same Profile Name and Profile Identifier as the original profile. In this example, this is Profile A Remove. The original profile, with the Action set to Add, remains on the list with its Schedule set to None. This prevents the same profile from being installed on or removed from the same set of devices, and it enables you to reactivate Profile A later if necessary.
4.
On the Mac Profile Detail page for Profile A Remove, in the Deploy section, select the devices from which you want to remove the profile.
5.
Do one of the following:
◦
If you have set the profile to run on a schedule, click Save at the bottom of the page.
◦
To run the profile on devices that currently have a connection to the appliance, click Run Now.
The Mac Profiles page shows the number of target devices in the Targeted column and the number of devices from which the profile has been removed in the Succeeded column for Profile A Remove.
6.
When the Succeeded column shows that the profile has been removed from all target devices, Profile A Remove is no longer needed, and you can delete it from the appliance. See Delete Mac profiles from the appliance.
7.
In Profile A, verify that the correct devices are targeted and enable the profile:
a.
Go to the Mac Profile Detail page for Profile A.
b.
Change the list of target devices to include only the correct 90 devices.
c.
Enable the profile. See:
◦
Add or edit Mac user profiles
◦
Add or edit Mac system profiles

Delete Mac profiles from the appliance

Delete Mac profiles from the appliance

You can delete Mac profiles from the appliance as needed.

Deleting a profile does not remove it from any devices on which it has been installed. To remove profiles from devices, use the Remove option. See Remove Mac profiles from managed devices.

* 
NOTE: If you delete a profile from the appliance, you can no longer use the appliance to remove that profile from managed devices.
1.
Go to the Mac Profile Detail page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Scripting, then click Mac Profiles.
c.
Click the name of a profile.
2.
At the bottom of the page, click Delete.
A dialog appears.
3.
Verify that you want to delete the profile from the appliance, then click Delete Profile.
The profile is removed from the appliance and it no longer appears on the Mac Profiles list. However, the Profile Identifier continues to be displayed on the Device Detail page of devices on which the profile is installed.

Using Task Chains

Using Task Chains

Add and edit Task Chains

Task Chains allow you to create a sequence of tasks to run in a specific order.

You can add one or more Patch Schedules, Scripts, File Synchronization items, and Wake-On LAN Requests to a Task Chain. Use Task Chains, for example, when you need to deploy managed installations and then run scripts on target devices. The order of tasks in a Task Chain can be easily changed, as required.

* 
NOTE: You cannot add individual Managed Installations to a Task Chain.

Each Task Chain runs against a configured set of devices, as defined in the Task Chain.

If a target device in a Task Chain is offline, you can configure the Task Chain to run when the device becomes connected. When a target device is referenced in multiple Task Chains, only one Task Chain runs against the device at a time.

The following concepts apply to device selections in a Task Chain:

•
Devices selected in a Task Chain override those set for patching schedules and scripts when they run as part of a Task Chain.
•
Devices selected in a Task Chain do not affect any Managed Installation (MI) or File Synchronization (FS) items associated with those devices. Any Inventory, MI, and FS tasks are queued for each device in the Task Chain, and any MI and FS that are configured to run on each machine are deployed.
•
Wake-on-LAN (WoL) schedules run once per Task Chain, when the first device in the Task Chain encounters the WoL Task. The WoL Task runs against the devices selected in the Task Chain.
* 
NOTE: A WoL Task should always be scheduled as a first Task in a Task Chain. This causes WoL packets to be pushed to all devices at once and the devices will wait for this task, since it is the first Task. When a WoL task is not the first task in the Task Chain, WoL packets are pushed to all devices at once regardless of the current state of the task running in the task chain.
