Mac Management With Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr)
Having Macs in your environment that are not managed is a big security risk, Configuration Manager can now natively manage your Mac environment.• Enroll Mac OS X clients• Deploy Settings• Hardware Inventory• Deploy Applications
Configuration Manger will need additional items to support the Macs:• Public Key Infrastructure (AD CS)• Site server with Internet FQDN• HTTPS-enabled Management Point and HTTPS-enabled Distribution Point• Enrollment Point and Enrollment Proxy Point• Client Settings configured
