So what companies do that have to manage large fleets of Macs, of course, is not setting them all up one by one like I did here.
No one does this.
No one should do this.
What companies do is they have this thing through what I believe until yesterday was called Apple Business Manager.
or something like that.
There's a lot of words that all sound very similar.
But Apple has a business API.
You can configure machines to be set up for your business and locked to your business with MDM, which is the framework they use to manage corporate iPhones and iOS devices and Macs.
You can buy these things through your Apple business rep, through Apple's business channels, or through certain authorized resellers, and have the machine's serial numbers
automatically enroll to your company when they connect to the internet for the first time so you can they call it like zero touch deployment i think so that you can like ship a laptop to a remote employee and when they plug it in and set it up it gets activated to the company's management system through apple that is very cool
and gets all the stuff it needs to get right from there, which is very cool.
And once you are in these systems, you have full management over them.
So you can do things like push software updates and stuff like that, and you can run programs, you can change settings, whatever it is.
You can have all that centrally managed.
So that is basically what I want.
