Change Request 672763 Jamf Pro - College of Architecture Device Site Change.

Description: We are moving the computers that belong to the College of Architecture to the Architecture site that was created for them.

We used Axonious to find the device ownership for all of our machines in the server and were able to get a list of 30 machines that have the following tag from Axonious: College: Architecture from this data source: Mssql: MSSQL_ Divcollegedesc.

The list has been giving to the IT Staff at the Architecture College which they have reviewed and approved the list.

Breaking computers out into their own site in Jamf is important because it allows for proper scoping, management, and security separation between departments. Sites ensure that devices receive only the policies, configuration profiles, applications, and restrictions intended for their specific college or unit.

By assigning computers to the correct site, administrators can prevent accidental deployments, reduce configuration conflicts, and maintain clearer ownership and accountability of devices. This also improves troubleshooting, reporting accuracy, and access control by limiting visibility and administrative actions to only the devices that team is responsible for.

Overall, proper site separation helps maintain a cleaner Jamf environment, reduces risk during deployments, and supports scalable device management across multiple colleges and departments
