The “it just works” magic doesn’t apply in business environments

    What’s this gotta do with business environments? Is everybody with a Mac now a “businessman”?

      In a business environment a common thing is a user getting locked out of their local user account.

      Resolvable by issuing an unlock account command remotely and maybe a reset password. Kinda hard to issue those commands remotely if the device isn’t connected to the network, but on Windows I can have them connect to any WiFi network and it’s back online in the MDM console. MacOS otoh won’t let you connect to WiFi from the lock screen or even let you use an Ethernet USB adapter

        That’s only when FileVault is on, though, yeah?
