Which command is used to convert a plist into the format expected by JAMF for a custom setting?

The appropriate command for converting a plist into the format expected by JAMF for a custom setting is the command that utilizes "plutil -convert xml1." This command is specifically designed to convert property list files into the XML format compatible with JAMF. The term "xml1" indicates that the output will be an XML property list, maintaining the required structure for the JAMF framework to read and process it effectively.

Utilizing this command ensures that any plist file is transformed correctly and adheres to the format specifications necessary for JAMF, which primarily uses XML for representation. This is critical for ensuring that configurations and settings applied through JAMF can be parsed and understood by the system.

Other options, while they may sound relevant, do not align with the specific requirements for JAMF's expected plist format. For instance, "plutil -create xml" is not a valid command and doesn't exist in the context of plist manipulation. Similarly, "plutil -format xml" is incorrect as it does not achieve the necessary conversion; it merely specifies the format without translating. Lastly, "plutil -convert json" attempts to create a JSON output, which is not what JAMF requires for custom settings. Thus, the use of "plutil -
