Manual Mac enrollment
This article describes how Mac can be enrolled in LogMeIn Resolve MDM by downloading and installing LogMeIn Resolve MDM's MDM profile to the devices.
This enrollment method is intended for enrolling Mac devices without using Apple Automated Device Enrollment, or devices that are already in use, without resetting the device during enrollment.
The difference between manual enrollment and Automated Device Enrollment
Enrolling devices using Automated Device Enrollment is preferred in most organizations for enrolling company-owned devices that are added to Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager because it enables enhanced management capabilities and prevents the removal of the MDM profile from the device.
Manual device enrollment does not require the device to be added to Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager and thus can be used to enroll even privately owned devices in an MDM solution. With manual enrollment, device users with admin privileges can remove the MDM profile from their Mac devices if they wish to do so.
