No but they lock it down via MDM so it's basically junk now.
- ganoushoreilly 4y agoIf it's an Apple device there are a myriad of methods to get around the MDM locks, tons are posted on github. Though Mx series processors can be much more difficult and vary with results.

- carrja99 4y agoTypically companies use MDM to do a remote wipe and reset.
- Scoundreller 4y agoDoes the reset remove the MDM? Or is it persistent?
- ArnoVW 4y agoMacOS machines phone home to Apple when installing. If the machine is known to belong to the company, it can then send it off to an MDM server from a third party, who can install stuff. But Apple does not know for all machines who owns them. Typically, you have to create an Apple Business Management account. And buy from Apple directly or via select resellers. The idea being that you can send it to staff directly without installing it. You can attach a computer to your ABM account manually, but it requires reinstall and physical access. It involves faffing around with an iPhone that has Apple Configurator installed. Also, if the machine has no internet when it is booted during install, it will skip the phoning home, and you can 'circumvent' the MDM
