ℹ️ Check
Verify the macOS system is configured to enforce enrollment in mobile device management with the following command:
/usr/bin/profiles status -type enrollment | /usr/bin/awk -F: '/MDM enrollment/ {print $2}' | /usr/bin/grep -c "Yes (User Approved)"
If the result is not "1", this is a finding.
✔️ Fix
Configure the macOS system by ensuring that the system is enrolled via UAMDM.
