Some features of Configure MDM Profile do not get applied

[Dave Lebbing]

v3.0 build 30108

When enrolling a device in MDM there appears to be some issues with applying the Initial MDM Profile.

The following sections of Configure MDM Profile did not appear to get set as expected after the target device was enrolled:

Resources: Packages

Resources: Scripts

Options: ssh, screen share, remote management

Packages and scripts did not appear to be installed/run after the enrollment profile was applied.

A profile did get applied for “Allow kickstart access to ARD” but this did not appear to enable the relevant features in System Preferences > Sharing.

it all worked for me. please verify in current 3.5 build

Confirmed that most of this is ok and was only a result of requirement to sign packages.

The Packages and Apps component of the MDM Profile is still a problem, though. It was found that due to an issue with MicroMDM only the last package will be installed. This will result in unexpected behavior when one package is applied but others are ignored.

It could be good to add a warning near the UI and/or in the code describing this current limitation of MicroMDM so that users can avoid it for now and later hopefully remove the warning when the MicroMDM issue is resolved.
