Pre-fill using Systems Manager owner details: Set a Systems Manager Owner f=
or the devices before enrollment, and the Owner's username and name informa=
tion will be dynamically set for each device.

To apply configuration profiles and settings to devices, the appropriate ta=
gs will need to be applied. These can be configured in advance so that once=
 a device enrolls, the tags configured below are automatically applied. Pro=
files 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 dev=
ices 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 Dev=
ice Enrollment (ADE). ADE lets you deploy an enrollment profile "over the a=
ir" to bring devices into management. For more information, see Automatical=
ly 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 enrollmen=
t 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 affin=
ity 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 tim=
e, a bootstrap token is generated and escrowed to MDM. A bootstrap token ca=
n also be generated and escrowed to MDM using the profiles command-line too=
l, if needed.

If you are using DHCP, wish to use DNS and WINS servers at the far end of t=
he tunnel when connected, and the VPN server you are connecting to "pushes"=
 DNS and WINS settings to your client, select "Set nameserver". (This is th=
e 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 possib=
le to use the VPN-server-supplied DNS and WINS settings in addition to your=
 manual settings by selecting "Set nameserver". However, your manual settin=
gs will always take precedence over any VPN server-supplied settings. If "D=
o not set nameserver" is selected, you will continue to use only your manua=
lly-configured settings and any VPN server-supplied settings will be ignore=
d. "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-supplie=
d 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 ch=
anges to manually-set network settings".

If your situation is not described above (e.g., if you use manual DNS setti=
ngs 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 diffe=
rent domains), you must create your own up/down scripts and select "Set nam=
eserver".

When using "Set nameserver" or your own down script for OpenVPN, it is usua=
lly 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"). I=
f this is done, then the down script that handles restarting connections wh=
en there is a transient problem fails, because it is run without root privi=
leges. OpenVPN usually fails, too, if your configuration performs any routi=
ng (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 setu=
p & MDM configuration process is beyond the scope of this post. Additionall=
y, a big shoutout to  haircut for creating the rename-comp.py script that m=
akes 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 effect=
ive 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 whi=
ch requires a web server to host packages, you already have the necessary m=
echanism in place for directing endpoints to a file with a list of serial n=
umbers and hostnames. While there are certainly security concerns about hav=
ing a single file with all your Mac serial numbers, there are well document=
ed ways to ensure only your approved endpoints can access your local or rem=
ote web server.

Add the rename-comp.py script to your Jamf scripts (per the previously refe=
renced 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 f=
rom the webhook event and add it to your CSV or Google Sheet. This would av=
oid having to manually enter new machine serial numbers to your file. Depen=
ding 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, m=
etered), usage plans may be device-specific, where the MAC is used in an ac=
counting workflow to track user data consumption. Those workflows may need =
a new approach to associate accounts to devices if the user has private add=
ressing enabled (or if the private MAC ever changes for the SSID). In most =
cases, these operators will adjust to alternate forms of authentication (po=
tentially in a Hotspot 2.0 workflow) whether usernames and passwords, certi=
ficates, apps, profiles on devices, or SIMs. Of course, they can combat thi=
s 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 t=
hat contains its access point name (APN) settings, allowing subscribers to =
configure data settings on their devices easily and without the need to ent=
er all required information manually. Mischievous persons could also create=
 configuration files for selfish purposes. Some apps from App Store may ins=
tall root certificates that could monitor your data on the device. That cou=
ld 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 activ=
ation screen or has installed MDM configuration profile, then you can try i=
MyFone LockWiper MDM lock removal tool. Having MDM remote management on you=
r device limits the functions and features. So let LockWiper help you to by=
pass 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 fo=
r your iPhone IMEI number and order the MDM unlock. Next, download the "iAc=
tivate" tool from

Connect your iPhone to a computer via a cable and then launch the "iActivat=
e" 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 serv=
ices you protect with Duo. Duo users must have unique usernames and usernam=
e aliases. A user only needs to complete enrollment and activation in Duo o=
nce to gain access to any or all of your Duo applications. User access can =
be restricted to specific applications through permitted groups for individ=
ual applications.

Suppose your users log into a VPN client with an Active Directory sAMAccoun=
tName (narroway), but log into Salesforce via SAML with an email address (n=
arroway example.com). By specifying narroway as the Username and narroway e=
xample.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 th=
e checkbox to the left of the username. You can also click on the Select bu=
tton 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 selec=
t all users on the current page.
