  • Home Office Setup

    This post will be a bit of a departure from my normal ones. Normally I’m trying to pass on some tech knowledge that I might have, or make you aware of some new feature, but not this time. This time I’m shamelessly plugging some products with Amazon Affiliate links so I can make some dough.…

There have been plenty of discussions on Jamf Nation about logging for scripts or gathering logs…
