- ivan_gammel 4y agoA couple of examples: 1. How to roll out certain security policies integrated with your IM to the group of devices X? 2. How to test OS update on group of devices Y, before releasing it to all devices in your company? If you are an ordinary iPad or Mac user, I doubt that you know the answers.
- nemacol 4y agoIs this something you can do without 3rd party software?
- sofixa 4y agoConsidering pretty much any "enterprise" deployment of Macs uses an MDM like JAMF ( and IIRC even Apple use them and recommend them), i highly doubt that. There were some very limited features in macOS "server" when i last looked into it a few years ago, but it required sticking a Mac Mini somewhere ( which is not "enterprise" in any sense of that word) and was extremely limited compared to "real" MDM solutions.
- nemacol 4y agoThis is my experience as well. Few years ago I was tasked with setting up a couple minis for our new mac management. Took me ~2 hours to determine it was garbage and find a 3rd party solution. A quick search and I see Apple purchased Fleetsmith in 2020 so maybe that is integrated now?

- Bud 4y agoThere's actually a lot to learn. Which you'd know if you had ever done any IT work supporting Macs.
