Apple iMacs, MacBooks and Minis are available for schools and corporates offices to purchase via EdBuy. All Apple Macs ordered through EdBuy are supplied with a 4-year Jamf Pro licence and using this to configure and manage your Macs, as well as Apple iPads, is the best option. More information about getting started with Jamf Pro is available at this site.
While it's recommended that each site use Jamf Pro to setup and manage their Apple fleet of devices, some sites are using other Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions and some sites independently manage Apple devices. The sections below provide advice for initial setup of your Apple Mac devices, depending on your situation.
