This Repo has been set up to host an example Google Sheets interface for MicroMDM, and to give a quick how-to for installing and setting up MicroMDM as presented at GusDay 2019.

Uses for MicroMDM

At a basic level, MicroMDM can be used to replace NetBoot scenarios that installed configuration packages onto a fresh copy of macOS in order to configure the computer for your environment. This is especially needed, as Apple is phasing out support for NetBoot on newer hardware.

MicroMDM can also be used to run any MDM commands supported by Apple's MDM Protocol.

And it's API can be used to integrate the capabilities of MDM with many other solutions!

To follow along with the GusDay 2019 Presentation, use the wiki link below:

If you run through these steps, and you come across any errors or have problems, please file an Issue in this repo and I will make any necessary changes.

Further Research

To learn more about MicroMDM, visit micromdm.io

For an overview of the future of Mac Management and why a solution like MicroMDM is becoming more and more valuable, I would suggest watching this presentation given by Graham Gilbert: What's next? A Look into the Crystal Ball of Managing macOS

The capabilities of MDM are based on Apple's MDM Protocol. As you are working with devices using MDM, it will be most helpful to have a good understanding of the protocol. Here is the link: MDM Protocol Reference

Getting Help

All the information you need to set up and use MicroMDM is available at micromdm.io.

For additional help I strongly suggest joining the #micromdm channel in the MacAdmins Slack.

Join MicroMDM on Slack

I am an active member of the #micromdm channel, and can help answer questions directly. And most of the contributors to MicroMDM are also very active on that channel and have been immensely helpful!
