You need a Mac Mini somewhere on the network to manage commands from the MDM to the turned off Mac Pro, so I don't know what happens if that Mac Mini is turned off, but it's a move in the right direction I guess. (I suppose it's because they don't want network to be up before the firmware on the target Macs is validated, but I'm not sure). https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/lightsoutmanagementlom https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/l...
