Setup Manager
by Jamf
There are many enrollment progress tools available for Mac admins, each with their own strengths. Jamf Setup Manager approaches the problem from the perspective of an IT service provider.
Setup Manager offers many of the same features of these utilities but is especially useful for the case where an IT department or provisioning depot wants to ensure that a new Mac is properly configured and assigned before sending the device to its new user. It runs over Setup Assistant before a user is created, so it won't interfere with MDM-capable user or the secure token flow for FileVault. You can control which policies and installations Setup Manager runs with a configuration profile.
Setup Manager provides:
- a nice modern UI
- configuration with a configuration profile, no need to modify shell scripts or json
- works with different deployment workflows
- zero-touch (user-driven)
- single-touch (tech-driven)
- user initiated enrollment
- handsfree deployment with auto advance (beta)
- customized branding
- localized interface and custom text
- support for Jamf Pro and Jamf School
