+4Hello Jamf Nation
My boss lost their Mac book Pro and is asking if our MDM Jamf Pro 10.47 can find it
The pre-stage enrolment does require location services be enabled but I do not see anywhere to look for the laptop from Jamf Pro
Is this a function of Jamf Pro or can this only be done iCloud > Find My app?
I don’t believe they set up iCloud

Apple has Find My Device in iCloud, but that has not made it out of the consumer lane and is not a part of MDM workflows for macOS.
Some security and monitoring tools can provide location data, but that is limited to the location of the networks public IP address as Macs don't have GPS. Due to my works VPN, my location current shows in Miami and I am about 16hrs from Miami so its not reliable.
+17not in jamf.. but you can see the last IP address.. if its still checking in you can lock it.. even if its not.. send a lock.. next time it comes online if its past FileVault lock.. it will lock.. and if the device is in ABM, then even after a wipe it will only enrol back into your JAMF

Will have to get users to set up iCloud

Be aware that enabling "Find My Mac" also enables Activation Lock unless this is prevented in your PreStage configuration.
