I have a brand-new, company-owned Mac that needs to be enrolled in Apple Business Manager, linked with Microsoft Intune, and locked down so we keep full administrative control without relying on any personal Apple IDs. Scope of work • Create or verify our Apple Business/Managed Apple Account and add the Mac as an organisation-owned device. • Enrol the Mac in our chosen MDM (Intune) and push baseline security: FileVault on, strong password & lock rules, automatic OS updates, recovery keys stored to the organisation. • Grant end users Admin access once the policies are in place. • Pre-install and licence a short list of apps—Microsoft Office, Google Chrome, Cursor, Visual Studio Code, Pg Admin and SQL Server Express—so they appear on first login. No other bloatware. • Ensure the Mac is completely detached from any employee iCloud or personal Apple account. • Provide a concise setup document outlining every step, the profiles deployed, and how we can repeat the process for future Macs. I’m looking for someone who has hands-on experience with Apple Business Manager, macOS MDM workflows and Intune, and can complete the configuration quickly while keeping the company in full control of the device.

There is a sequencing trap in this job, and it is worth catching before the Mac is touched. You want end users to hold Admin access once policies are in place. On macOS, a local admin can remove a manually installed MDM profile — which would quietly undo the control you are paying for. The only thing that makes enrolment non-removable is supervision through Automated Device Enrollment: the device is added to Apple Business Manager, assigned to Intune, and picks up its management during Setup Assistant on first boot. Which means the order matters a great deal. The Mac must not be walked through Setup Assistant with a personal Apple ID first. If it already has been, the clean fix is to add it to ABM by serial through Apple Configurator or the reseller, then erase and let it re-enrol properly. After that the rest is configuration profiles rather than clicking around in System Settings: FileVault enforced at enrolment with the recovery key escrowed to Intune, passcode and lock policy, managed software updates with a deferral window, and the app list — Office, Chrome, VS Code, Cursor, pgAdmin, SQL Server Express — deployed so they are present at first login rather than installed by hand. The handover document is written as a runbook, so Mac number two takes twenty minutes and does not need me. Tell me whether the Mac has been through Setup Assistant yet. That single answer decides the path.
