Troubleshooting and Management

If JamfConnector details change or are incorrect, go to the actions bar to 'Disable' or 'Delete' the connector and set up a new one. Furthermore, if ensure async tasks are enabled in your config.py and that your Redis/Celery tasks are properly setup so the sync task can be handled appropriately.
