Can I remove MDM after I already completed a fresh install?
テキスト:
A friend from work gave me a laptop from our old company that nobody was using and it was reformatted so it was a clean Mac. He gave it to me while we both worked there but have both left since. I've been using it for about 4 years and I decided to replace the logic board for a larger SSD.
Before replacing the old logic board, I erased the machine and attempted installing macOS on it to make sure my time machine backup worked correctly. But as I was reinstalling, the MDM for my company showed up. This brought up a some questions:
# Is MDM tied to the logic board or will replacing it still lock me out?
# Has MDM been enabled on my laptop the entire time I've used it and I just didn't know? I haven't heard from the company so do they just not care?
# Will MDM be linked to my Time machine backup? If I restore from my time machine backup on the new logic board, will my old company be able to track it? Is a fresh install a better idea?
# Is it possible to bypass MDM so I can reuse the old logic board?
I've tried booting off a flash drive to avoid connecting the the MDM servers in hopes of bypassing the need for an internet connection, but I get an error saying a critical update is needed in order for me to complete the install
I am also unable to restore my time machine backup for some reason. Any reason MDM would cause issues? I loaded the time machine backup but it keeps getting stuck at page with the Apple logo with the loading bar. All troubleshooting leads back to a fresh install which I can't get past because of MDM. Hopefully there is a workaround.
Would appreciate any insight/advice.
Thanks!
