Beschreibung
Are you new to administrating Apple devices? Are you a Windows endpoint administrator that needs to integrate macOS or iOS clients into your IT organization?
The concepts you will learn in this book will allow you to effectively deploy anywhere from a handful of Apple devices at one location to thousands of Apple devices at many locations. Apple macOS & iOS System Administration is a practical, hands-on guide for managing Apple products in organizations of all sizes.
Learn how to manage a fleet of Mac and iOS clients using tools like Apple Business, Automated Device Enrollment, and Apple Configurator. Integrate your Mac clients into your existing Microsoft solutions like M365 Co-pilot and Entra ID authentication without having to install additional Mac-specific middle-ware or sync between multiple directory services. Learn how to provision and manage thousands of iOS devices in a standardized and secure fashion with device restrictions and over-the-air configuration updates.
Use Apple’s Managed Distribution of Apps & Books to manage App installations and share pools of apps across multiple users. Automate the software installation and upgrade process using the open source Munki platform. Provide a zero-touch out-of-the box experience for large scale deployments of Apple endpoints in any organization. Finally learn how to remotely secure and erase lost or stolen devices to ensure that your organization’s data remains protected in the event that an Apple device goes missing.
What You'll Learn
- Discover how to integrate macOS clients into enterprise Windows networks.
- Master the concepts of Mobile Device Management for macOS and iOS using Apple Business’ built-in device management.
- How to configure employee-owned iPhones to securely access organizational data.
- How to automate software installations and upgrades on thousands of macOS clients.
