Replicator

Download Replicator (opens in a new tab)

A tool to synchronize objects between Jamf Pro servers. Export objects and save locally, then upload them to another Jamf Pro server. You can also use the tool to delete objects from a server.

By default the application will submit basic hardware, OS, and jamfCPR application usage to TelemetryDeck (opens in a new tab). The data is sent anamously and used to aid in the development of the application. To opt out of data the sending of data click 'Opt out of analytics' at the bottom of the Settings --> app window.

Replicate items from one Jamf server, or XML file(s), to another. If an object (based on name) exists on both source and destination, the destination object will be updated with values from the source server.

Username and password fields can be hidden/shown using the disclosure tringle on the left.

When replicating files be sure to open the 'raw' folder.

Devices (computers and iOS), Groups, Policies, and Configuration Profiles can be targeted to a particular site.

Servers can be removed from the (source/destination) list by holding down the option key while selecting the server. A warning will be presented to verify the removal.

Limitations/requirements to be aware of:

• Passwords can not be extracted through the API which impacts replicating distribution points, computer management account, account used for LDAP. A password can be supplied for each service account, but credentials may need to be reset on the destination server for more complex configurations.
• Certificate used for LDAPS does not replicate.
• Icons associated with Mac App Store apps are not replicated as the API does not support it.
• Only AFP and SMB shares can be replicated.
• Patch management is not available through the API impacting smart groups dependent on patch management extension attributes.
• If endpoints (computers, policies, configuration profiles...) have duplicate names on the source server issues will arise if the app is used to update those items from the source to destination server. As each item is migrited it will overwrite the previous item with the same name.
• Replicating smart/static groups with criteria containing groups will fail if the parent group tries to replicate before the group in the criteria. Replicating groups several times should allow all the nested groups to replicate before the parent group.
