JNUC kicked off today with an exciting keynote and some cool product announcements, but I really can't wait to get back to the in-person JNUC next year. The virtual conference is great, but personally, I get too distracted by other things (work) when...

@L-plateAdmin I just verified with my own system, and the management ID is not the same as the hardware UDID. I recently was working on this same problem last week, and was able to create a script based on the following article:Recovery Lock Enableme...

Very cool...while I'm not longer in the world of education, I can see how this would be extremely useful in that realm, along with healthcare. The greater confidence in privacy for the users / automation for IT, the better.

Unfortunately, it sounds like the system is at the FileVault unlock screen, which means that the full OS hasn't been loaded yet. At that screen, I don't believe things like normal check-in or policies can run, since the disk is still locked. Without ...
