Customer Reviews
Another great book
Another great Book from Armin. One of three (or more in the future?) of his books that are recommended reading for all Mac Admins, fresh or experienced.
The definitive resource for anyone managing macOS in enterprise
With Apple making so many changes to how macOS can be deployed, installed and managed;
* The death of imaging as an installation method
* The decline of NetBoot
* New ways to erase and install with the installer application itself…
(not to mention DEP, User Approved MDM, Kernel Extension Loading and all that jazz!)
...Armin breathes some releif into a Mac Admin’s stressful job with this up to date and definitive reference that gives us all we need to know as we enter this brave new world and shed the methods of old, when it comes to getting macOS onto the Macs we love to manage!
