Being a MacAdmin is significantly more difficult now than it used to be, and it’s getting harder every year. How does one cope? Keep up? Stay informed? Train oneself? Find the answers? Deal with the extra stress? Stay in tune and aligned with the rapidly-changing IT landscape as it shifts (sometimes under our feet).

Multi Factor Authentication is a topic we’ve covered here and there in the past. Yubikey is one of those companies that many of us have worked with. But planning for larger scale deployments is different than getting a key to work with our own password manager or in isolated cases. Further, webauthn and other standards are being embraced by Apple in the upcoming releases of the Apple operating systems. So in this episode we’ll talk about what a Yubikey is, how to use them, and some of those things that we wish we’d’ve known before we got started!

What are the latest options to deploy Adobe products onto Apple devices? It’s one of the oldest skills those of us who work on the platform need. In this episode we’ll dig into what the latest techniques are, some gotchas, and how to deliver the best experience possible to our users. We’re joined by Dom, who has been a support engineer in Adobe’s enterprise team for over 11 years to talk through all the different options now available - and how best to think about them!

One of those things we all end up managing is how our Apple fleet routes traffic into the interwebs. We often have to go through apps that load network extensions that effectively proxy traffic. Sometimes we call what they do fancy new industry buzzwords. One of the first platforms to use Apple’s frameworks was Cisco Umbrella. In this episode, Fraser Hess joins us to talk about using Umbrella and some interesting things he found along the way!

Apple device management often veers into the devops and automation side of things. Maybe we’re using these tools for our own workflows or maybe we’re trying to provide an elegant workflow for our coworkers to get their code to testing, staging, and production environments. Continuous everything is the name of the game, so today we’re going to talk about CI/CD pipelines with a couple of guests from Veertu.

It takes a lot of different types of systems to keep a fleet of machines in good shape. Today we’re going to talk about one of those: internet filters. Today we’re gonna’ talk through the good, the bad, the why, the why not, and sometimes the ugly. But in many an environment, the necessary.

MacAdmins seem to be increasingly stretching our skillset to include other platforms. Sometimes this is because we’re using a single pane of glass to manage Windows and Mac. Other times it’s just a pure necessity to have some of the best and brightest help out with Windows or Android management. Josh Seyer has been living that for awhile now and we wanted to touch base and see what the techie bits are like in a hybrid role. So join us for an episode of the Mac Admins podcast to talk about the similarities and differences between Windows and Apple deployments!

First impressions matter. Onboarding is one of the best ways we can provide an elegant and savvy first impression to our coworkers when they’re hired. We’ve had the developers of Octory on the podcast to talk about what they built, but today we wanted to get someone on to talk about using Octory from the admin’s perspective, so we’re lucky to have John Hutchison agree to join us!
