Join host, Kat Garbis, with special guest, Matt Jerome (Sr. Engineer Desktops, Fanatics) to discuss a common scenario in the Mac Admin world: inheriting a Jamf instance. You didn't build the Jamf Pro instance — someone else did. Perhaps they built it but not quite in the way you would have done it. Maybe the instance came through an acquisition, someone left the organization, regardless, this happens and is usually met with some questions and requires a strategy to navigate. Matt Jerome has plenty of experience in this and created a process of how to navigate inheriting an instance. Matt shares steps he has found to be repeatable and guidance on how to make this as easy as possible.
