Device Lifecycle is a massive topic for Mac Admins – what’s the right length? how do you purchase? what devices keep their value? – and we’re excited to have Kris Roesken from Diamond Assets here to tell us how their customers are approaching this interesting subject.

Software Updates is a subject that is dear to the heart of all Mac Admins. Traditionally this was a task that we could only perform after devices were enrolled. Beginning with macOS 14, Automated Device Enrollment began to support the requirement of a Minimum OS Version, which allows us to mandate that the device is updated before we allow it to enroll into our device management system. This week, we’ll talk with Bushrat Chowdhury of Jamf about the adaptation of this feature into the product.

It seems like it’s onboarding assistants all the way down at the moment. Everyone has embraced the idea of ensuring our users are kept informed about what is going on when their device is being configured, but most of them share one thing in common - they run once the user has arrived at the desktop. Today we are going. to discuss Jamf Setup Manager, which runs before the setup assistant during enrollment.
