Hi Folks,

We have a lot of automation working here but there are a couple of issues I would like to know if there is a way to get past them.

We are beginning to wipe our student Macs, formatting to APFS and loading High Sierra, we are also using DEP. With this in mind, when the Macs come back after the restart of installing High Sierra and on first setup, we are seeing the choose country window, choose the keyboard layout and finally accept the Remote Management window.

Is there any way of bypassing these three windows? Thinking of how to manage our remote campuses when we wipe the Macs and install the OS these going forward. If nothing else, we could have someone at these campuses to simply go to the Mac and click through the screens.

Not currently that I am aware, but it is something Apple are aware that peoople want so here's hoping in the future it gets better! It would certainly make DEP based lab deployments much much easier if DEP just auto started after a minute or so.
