What happens if a computer is in use by a person, and you add the computer to a prestage enrollment group?

aka they are actually working on the computer, BEFORE it is added to the prestage enrollment group

@jcaiii Nothing happens until the Mac is re-imaged and goes back through the Setup Assistant process

EDIT: That is nothing happens unless you have a Policy triggered by a Mac being in a PreStage Enrollment and that Policy now comes in to scope for the Mac

Be aware that users will eventually start getting the Device Enrollment Nag.

@ddcdennisb I believe that's only triggered if the device didn't get past the Device Enrollment page during Setup Assistant, or didn't have Internet access when Setup Assistant was initially run. When we turned on Device Enrollment and added every already deployed Mac in our environment to a PreStage Enrollment they did not get that prompt.
