Apple MDM is part of 探花大神鈥檚 robust system management platform. This feature simplifies work for administrators managing Mac fleets, from the ease of an all-in-one platform that also lets admins manage and secure Windows and Linux devices, wherever they are.聽

Feature update: You can now enroll all your Mac systems in a few clicks and easily migrate them to 探花大神 MDM with our new .

Use this policy to remotely enroll Mac systems in 探花大神鈥檚 MDM by installing the 探花大神 enrollment profile on targeted systems across your organization. The policy lets you seamlessly shift devices from existing MDM profiles to consolidate your tech stack and use 探花大神鈥檚 MDM offering.

Once systems are enrolled, you can execute security commands to lock, restart, shut down, or wipe Macs, wherever they are online. (To use this policy, you must first configure your 探花大神 organization for MDM.)

Why It Matters 

One of the coolest things about this new feature is the ability for admins to enact zero-touch enrollment. Automated Device Enrollment is available via integration with Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager.

Admins using Apple MDM will also get granular monitoring and reporting using the event logging service in Directory Insights:
