Not all, but most MDM Commands in the spec are already supported. You can see all the supported commands you can issue to devices here https://github.com/microm

There's a lot of work that needs to be done for micromdm to be a usable replacement in the enterprise though. Right now it's still a experiment -- the focus(at least for me) is to try to create a tool which is extensible(API driven) and one that will be acceptable in environments where people today use configuration management everyday.
- walterbell 10y agoSince that list can deliver profiles, could Apple Configurator be used to create the profile, then deliver them with the MDM tool? I recall that registration was needed for Apple's servers to push profiles to managed devices. How would that work with an OSS MDM? Does the MDM need a certificate from Apple?
- zalmoxes 10y agoYou need to be an enterprise Dev and get a special APNS cert from apple. (It only costs $300/year, which any company should afford). MDM certs are still a pain, and it's hard to get involved with the project if you don't have one. Luckily, if you install Server.app from the App store and enables Device management, Apple issues you a push cert you can use. You just have to export it from Keychain access as a .p12 file.
