Macs that set themselves up

Order a Mac, have it delivered to the employee, and it configures itself when they open the lid. Language preset, setup assistant handled, an admin account created, the user account pre-filled. Through Apple's Automated Device Enrollment, the Mac knows it is yours before it is out of the box.

Setup assistant, your way

Show or hide the roughly two dozen onboarding screens.

Accounts provisioned

A hidden admin account and a ready-to-go user account, automatically.

Ready before lunch

A new hire in another office is working without IT touching the machine.

The encryption story your auditor wants

Appaloosa enforces FileVault and escrows the recovery key back to the console, stored encrypted, readable only by the profiles you authorize. A stolen MacBook becomes a hardware loss instead of a data breach, and you can prove the disk was protected.

Keys escrowed and encrypted

Hand a locked-out user their key in seconds.

Strongest line in a Mac review

Provable FileVault, built in, not bolted on.

Control what leaks

External drives allowed, read-only or blocked; custom profiles for the rest.

What you get with macOS MDM

App delivery

Apps install automatically on the Macs in a configuration, plus Wi-Fi and certificates.

Update control

Defer macOS updates, set deadlines, handle major and minor updates separately.

One console, no Mac admin

Macs sit alongside your phones and PCs; the person who runs the fleet runs the Macs.

How it works

Enrolling a Mac without a specialist

The same path as your iPhones: Apple Business Manager, one profile, and a Mac ready out of the box.

  1. 01

    Register your Macs in Apple Business Manager

    Bought from Apple or an authorized reseller, they appear there automatically.

  2. 02

    Assign Appaloosa and the enrollment profile

    Define settings, apps and FileVault encryption rules once.

  3. 03

    The Mac enrolls from Setup Assistant

    On first boot it joins your organization, supervised, with no account for IT to create.

  4. 04

    Encryption, apps and settings applied

    FileVault on with the recovery key escrowed, apps installed, Wi-Fi and mail account configured.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about macOS MDM

Hands typing on a laptop keyboard while holding a smartphone
No. Macs are managed in the same console as your phones and Windows machines.
Appaloosa enforces FileVault and stores the recovery key encrypted in the console, retrievable only by authorized profiles.
Zero-touch through Apple's Automated Device Enrollment, or profile-based enrollment, with account provisioning and setup assistant control.
Yes, through Apple's declarative device management. You set a target macOS version and an enforcement date, and the Mac downloads and installs on its own, with notifications starting up to 14 days ahead and deferral windows from 1 to 90 days. Major and minor updates can carry different deadlines. On macOS 27 the legacy update commands no longer work, so declarative is the only path.
Yes. The status channel is live, so devices report state changes in real time instead of waiting to be polled, and declarative configurations cover software update, managed apps, Siri and keyboard settings. Coverage grows declaration by declaration. Our guide to Apple DDM explains the model and what changed in the 27 releases.
