Giving admin without needing to sign into mobile account.

Hi All,

I'm looking for a solution for a mass deployment of macs. Currently we have our user managed mobilely with jamf with their credentials synced from our AD. We sync all this info with NoMAD.

The current set up process is to create an Generic Admin user, then connect to our domain. After the computer is connected to the AD we log in as the user. After logging in as the user we use our admin credentials to make the managed account an admin to the computer.

I'm looking to avoid the step of having to log in as the user to create their profile, and give them admin rights. as with this mass deploy we are working with live users, and would need their password credentials to instance the account. which is something we are trying to avoid. Has anyone come across this problem / a workaround?

Have you considered making use of this?

That app works a treat, used it at a few places. Means they don’t need to be a permanent admin either.
