Pre-fill using Systems Manager owner details: Set a Systems Manager Owner for the devices before enrollment, and the Owner's username and name information will be dynamically set for each device.
Programmatically Grab The Name Of Your MDM Enrollment Profile In OS X
To apply configuration profiles and settings to devices, the appropriate tags will need to be applied. These can be configured in advance so that once a device enrolls, the tags configured below are automatically applied. Profiles and apps tied to those tags will then be automatically installed upon enrollment for a seamless experience.
As an Intune admin, you can set up enrollment for iOS/iPadOS and iPadOS devices to access company resources. You can let users enroll personally-owned devices, known as "bring your own device" (BYOD) enrollment. You can also set up enrollment of company-owned devices.
Organizations can purchase iOS/iPadOS devices through Apple's Automated Device Enrollment (ADE). ADE lets you deploy an enrollment profile "over the air" to bring devices into management. For more information, see Automatically enroll iOS/iPadOS devices with Apple's Automated Device Enrollment.
You can enroll iOS/iPadOS devices with Apple Configurator running on a Mac computer. To prepare devices, you USB-connect them and install an enrollment profile. You can enroll devices with Apple Configurator in two ways:
If user affinity is required, be sure that the device's enrollment profile has User Affinity selected before enrolling the device. To change the affinity status on a device, you must retire the device and reenroll it.
Suppose that your MDM solution supports bootstrap tokens. In macOS 10.15.4 or later, when a user who is secure token enabled logs in for the first time, a bootstrap token is generated and escrowed to MDM. A bootstrap token can also be generated and escrowed to MDM using the profiles command-line tool, if needed.
If you are using DHCP, wish to use DNS and WINS servers at the far end of the tunnel when connected, and the VPN server you are connecting to "pushes" DNS and WINS settings to your client, select "Set nameserver". (This is the situation for most users.)
If you are using DHCP, wish to use your original DNS and WINS servers when connected, and the VPN server you are connecting to does not "push" DNS or WINS settings to your client, select "Do not set nameserver".
If you're using Leopard (OS X 10.5) or Tiger (OS X 10.4), then it is possible to use the VPN-server-supplied DNS and WINS settings in addition to your manual settings by selecting "Set nameserver". However, your manual settings will always take precedence over any VPN server-supplied settings. If "Do not set nameserver" is selected, you will continue to use only your manually-configured settings and any VPN server-supplied settings will be ignored. "Take precedence" means that the manual DNS server will be used for all DNS queries unless it fails to answer, in which case the VPN server-supplied DNS server will be used.
If you set your DNS servers manually, then regardless of the state of "Set nameserver", your manual DNS servers, Search Domains, and WINS servers will always be the only ones used unless you set the configuration to "Allow changes to manually-set network settings".
If your situation is not described above (e.g., if you use manual DNS settings and wish to use DNS servers at the far end of a tunnel when connected, or you wish to use the macOS ability to use different nameservers for different domains), you must create your own up/down scripts and select "Set nameserver".
When using "Set nameserver" or your own down script for OpenVPN, it is usually necessary to avoid using the OpenVPN "user" and "group" options in the configuration file. These options cause OpenVPN to drop root privileges and take the privileges of the specified user and group (usually, "nobody"). If this is done, then the down script that handles restarting connections when there is a transient problem fails, because it is run without root privileges. OpenVPN usually fails, too, if your configuration performs any routing (most configurations do).
Giving credit where credit is due, this workflow in large part came out of the work by and discussions with an admin at Red Hook Central Schools. Here is that resulting A to Z guide for DEP enrollments with Jamf. The DEP setup & MDM configuration process is beyond the scope of this post. Additionally, a big shoutout to @haircut for creating the rename-comp.py script that makes our automated computer naming possible!
Having a standard naming convention for all of your PreStage Enrollments is important. Following the Red Hook Central Schools guide, it is most effective to name these based on largest to smallest grouping. Take the examples below:
Assuming you are using your Jamf Distribution Point for HTTP/S or munki which requires a web server to host packages, you already have the necessary mechanism in place for directing endpoints to a file with a list of serial numbers and hostnames. While there are certainly security concerns about having a single file with all your Mac serial numbers, there are well documented ways to ensure only your approved endpoints can access your local or remote web server.
Add the rename-comp.py script to your Jamf scripts (per the previously referenced blog post). No changes need to be made to it, as the script assumes use with Jamf assigning the CSV or Google Sheet URL to parameter 4. However, you can change the default download location defined by the CSV variable, if you wish (/var/tmp/computernames.csv).
If you wanted to go a step further with this hostname automation, you might configure your Jamf instance to trigger a webhook when a machine was added to DEP which in turn triggered another process to take the serial number from the webhook event and add it to your CSV or Google Sheet. This would avoid having to manually enter new machine serial numbers to your file. Depending on your naming scheme, you may also be able to automate the associated hostname as well. At the moment though, this process works well enough.
In some public access networks with usage subscriptions (monthly, yearly, metered), usage plans may be device-specific, where the MAC is used in an accounting workflow to track user data consumption. Those workflows may need a new approach to associate accounts to devices if the user has private addressing enabled (or if the private MAC ever changes for the SSID). In most cases, these operators will adjust to alternate forms of authentication (potentially in a Hotspot 2.0 workflow) whether usernames and passwords, certificates, apps, profiles on devices, or SIMs. Of course, they can combat this the manual way by showing users how to disable the feature and stick with the non-private address.
A simple example is a cellular carrier distributing configuration profile that contains its access point name (APN) settings, allowing subscribers to configure data settings on their devices easily and without the need to enter all required information manually. Mischievous persons could also create configuration files for selfish purposes. Some apps from App Store may install root certificates that could monitor your data on the device. That could put your data privacy in danger. If you have such apps installed on your iPad, make sure to delete both apps and their configuration files so as to protect your othe data.
If you have an iPhone or iPad that is locked by MDM remote management activation screen or has installed MDM configuration profile, then you can try iMyFone LockWiper MDM lock removal tool. Having MDM remote management on your device limits the functions and features. So let LockWiper help you to bypass MDM without password and you can enjoy your device like a new one.
You can remove iPhone MDM lock with "iActivate" tool. You should have your mobile device management profile that need to be bypassed. Then look out for your iPhone IMEI number and order the MDM unlock. Next, download the "iActivate" tool from
Connect your iPhone to a computer via a cable and then launch the "iActivate" app. Then click on the "iActivate" Server button and wait for a while as your "MDM" profile is bypassed. You can now use your phone without further MDM restrictions.
A Duo user is an object that represents a user of the applications and services you protect with Duo. Duo users must have unique usernames and username aliases. A user only needs to complete enrollment and activation in Duo once to gain access to any or all of your Duo applications. User access can be restricted to specific applications through permitted groups for individual applications.
Suppose your users log into a VPN client with an Active Directory sAMAccountName (narroway), but log into Salesforce via SAML with an email address (narroway@example.com). By specifying narroway as the Username and narroway@example.com as the Username alias 1 this user may log into either system and authenticate with Duo using the same available device options and without consuming additional Duo licenses.
Select multiple users (or a single user) from the Users view by clicking the checkbox to the left of the username. You can also click on the Select button and choose Select All to perform the action on all your Duo users, or click on the topmost checkbox next to the "Username" column header to select all users on the current page.
