Hi all,

In previous version of macOS (El Cap, Sierra, High Sierra), the MDM_ComputerPrefs.plist is located at /var/db/ConfigurationProfiles/MDM_ComputerPrefs.plist

I now have a Mojave Macbook. When I search within /var/db/ConfigurationProfiles/, I see
Settings (directory)
Setup (directory)
.profilesAreInstalled

I no longer have the MDM plist file. But I still get Configuration Profiles coming to this Macbook, suggesting that MDM is setup correctly.

Does anyone know where MDM_ComputerPrefs.plist would be in Mojave? I usually tell macbook users to check this MDM_ComputerPrefs.plist to see when they can get config profiles such as Wifi settings.

    I have Mojave and all of those settings for me can be found in Untitled/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mdmclient.plist. Curious to know why you have users going to that for network connectivity? Would it not be much easier to install a cert on the device and have it connect to the network that way so that it takes all control away from the user so that they don't have to mess with it?
