Mac Deployment at Home

IMPORTANT: It is critical that the “Remote Management” screen displays in step 5 below. If it does not display, please STOP and contact your IT support for assistance before continuing with the setup.

 

Your Mac has been pre-configured to connect and receive University resources the first time it is powered on. Follow the steps below to complete the setup process.

 

1. Plug your Mac into its power adapter and plug the adapter into the wall.

2. Turn on your Mac.

  • Your Mac may turn on when the power adapter is plugged in. If not, there is a power button at the top-right edge of the keyboard area.

3. The first 3 screens will help you choose a language, country, and accessibility settings.


4. After the Accessibility Screen, join your Wi-Fi network. If your Mac is plugged into Ethernet, this screen will not display.

5. The Remote Management screen displays . If it does not display, please contact your IT support for assistance and next steps.

6. Enter your umich.edu e-mail address and U-M password (Level 1) when prompted at the Microsoft 365 screens. Use the same password you use to sign into Wolverine Access.

  1. After the MDM Profiles install, you will land at the Setup Manager screen giving you information as the software installing on your mac as it joins the University of Michigan configuration. (Getting Ready… could show for 2+ minutes as it downloads the software for install.)

8. There maybe some configuration screens displaying to let you adjust settings to your preference. These screens vary by hardware model, but include Location Services, Apple ID (if you have and use one), Touch ID, Apple Pay, TrueTone display, and Hey Siri. No option is “wrong” and they can all be changed or re-visited later. Contact your IT support if you need assistance.

9. Once that software and settings are installed, Managed Software Center will start to download and install the University of Michigan applications you will need.

  1. Login with your University of Michigan e-mail address and U-M password (Level 1).

Single Sign On

A series of dialog boxes will appear the first time a logged in user is able to reach a campus network (VPN, MWireless, etc.) These prompts will make sure that the password established in step 6, matches the users current Active Directory/Kerberos password. If the passwords do not match, macOS will attempt to sync them using the following prompts.

Additional Software

A number of free and University-licensed software titles are available to you in Managed Software Center. You can access Managed Software Center from the block-M menu, via the “Managed Software Center” option:

 

Additionally, you may be able to access software specifically licensed by your Unit. Choose the “Register this Mac for Additional Licensed Software…” menu option and complete the intake form that displays if that shows for you.
