Miradore | Macos

Since Miradore is a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution, the process revolves around enrolling the device so the server can manage settings, deploy software, and secure data.

Guide: Managing macOS Devices with Miradore This guide covers the setup for administrators, the enrollment process for users, and how to manage devices once they are in the system. Phase 1: Prerequisites & System Requirements Before enrolling a Mac, ensure you meet the following requirements.

Supported OS: The Mac must be running macOS 10.14 (Mojave) or later. Older versions may have limited functionality or cannot enroll. Administrator Access: You need access to the Miradore web console (Admin account). User Permissions: The person enrolling the device usually needs administrative rights on the Mac (to install the MDM profile and enroll via the agent).

Phase 2: Enrolling the macOS Device There are two primary ways to enroll a Mac in Miradore. Most SMBs (Small to Medium Businesses) use Method A . Method A: Agent-based Enrollment (Most Common) This method installs a small piece of software (the agent) on the Mac, which communicates with the Miradore server. miradore macos

Log in to Miradore: Access your Miradore site (e.g., yoursite.miradore.com ) and log in. Navigate to Enrollment: Go to Infrastructure > Dashboard (or Enrollment). Look for the Enroll devices button.

You will be asked to approve a System Extension/Kernel extension (depending on macOS version). You must allow this for the agent to function. Enter the local Mac administrator credentials to authorize the installation.

Method B: Apple Business Manager (ABM) — Automated Device Enrollment For zero-touch deployment (devices enrolling automatically upon startup), you must use Apple Business Manager (ABM).

Link your Miradore server to your ABM account inside the Miradore Console under Organization > Apple Business Manager . Assign devices from ABM to the Miradore MDM server. When the user turns on the Mac, it will automatically prompt for enrollment during the setup assistant. Supported OS: The Mac must be running macOS 10

Phase 3: Post-Enrollment: Approving Permissions After enrollment, the device will appear in your Miradore console. However, macOS requires specific permissions to allow remote management. You may need to instruct the user to do the following:
