Reviewing unmatched Macs

Unmatched rows don’t mean the import has failed. They are the bit that stops a messy list becoming a messy Jamf change.

What this helps with

A calmer review of serials, asset tags, and odd rows before a static group is updated.

Follow these steps.

  1. Run Preview Matches and open the unmatched list.
  2. Check for typos, old serials, extra spaces, and asset records that do not belong.
  3. Decide whether to fix the import file or leave the row out of this change.
  4. Preview again after cleaning the list.
  5. Only continue when the matched list is the list you expect.

Checks before you move on

  • Unmatched rows reviewed
  • Source file cleaned where needed
  • Second preview run checked
  • Final matched count makes sense
