Another good resource that lists a bunch of useful tools for macOS management.

Also, are you using anything like DEP with jamf, munki, fleetsmith etc to help manage the endpoints?

Are you just trying to have scripts run on login for each new user on each new machine?

Yeah, to do things like clean up the dock, add specific items to the dock, set the finder preferences etc.

Manually running it once the user is logged in, isn't an issue, just a nuisance.

For this use docutil

Also, look at outset which will let you run scripts at login, logout, etc.

@DustinB3403 Head on over to macadmins slack and perhaps check out #macos. Lots of people there supporting mac's and it's not just mac focused. https://macadmins.herokuapp.com/

Shows you how popular Apple's computers are in a business environment.... nobody else even has them!

I have not been in an org (anywhere from 40 - 1500 users) in the last 10 years that has had more Windows machines and Mac, ChromeOS, LInux. Mac has usually made up the majority in most orgs. ChromeOS was the lead in one, 60% total.

@flaxking That was the one I was thinking of as the lowest barrier to just be able to tick the box on one of them. CEH had a lot of quality feedback from those that took it here and I was also thinking this would be the more interesting one. The CISSP being the security cert to get if I wanted the one that held the most value going someplace else but also requiring the most effort.

I have to pick from the following list as part of the requirements for a Google Partner Specialisation requirement. I've done the Network+ (gfl) in the past so vaguely familiar with CompTIA. Curious to know if anyone has taken these and what their thoughts on it was. Any other comments welcome.

CISSP: Certified Information Systems Security Professional
CISM: Certified Information Security Manager
CompTIA Security+
CEH: Certified Ethical Hacker
GSEC: SANS GIAC Security Essentials

are zap files still a thing?

@scottalanmiller I did look there first in fact. The Dell 720xd came out to be similar in price for same(ish) spec and I didn't add the drives yet. Perhaps a better model to use to compare against the 380p?
