We currently roster Apple Classroom through Apple School Manager using staff and student Managed Apple IDs. While everything worked as expected last school year, we've run into an issue this school year. We decided not to wipe/re-enroll our devices o...

I'd like to create a new user via policy that is enabled for FileVault 2/has SecureToken. As noted in the Local Accounts payload, the "Enable user for FileVault 2" no longer works in anything beyond 10.13. After doing some digging, the only solution ...

If you "Search GSX" with the serial number of the unit, you'll see the following prompt: You can also have the user's log in to iCloud.com, look at Find My iPhone and drop it out from there. It might be a good process to have the help desk do that ea...

Not sure how it works for Enterprise, but in Edu we can call directly to AppleCare and do mail-in repairs. It's a lot more convenient than running to the Apple Store, especially if you have a lot of volume. You can also set up mail in repairs directl...
