PART 1 – Only for previously deployed machines. For brand-new machines skip to part 2.
Make sure Mac is plugged into a working data jack, not just wifi.
Restart Mac and hold down command-option-R to boot to Internet Recovery: you should see a spinning globe instead of the regular login page.
Open Disk Utility. Select the top-level Macintosh HD and click Erase. It should default to Macintosh HD with APFS filesystem. Assuming it does click Erase (if not check with Brent). When finished close Disk Utility.
Open the Reinstall Operating System application (the name will be different depending on which OS it is). Click through the prompts to install on the main hard drive. And now wait….
PART 2
Start setup by selecting United States from the country list and set up computer skipping anything you can skip (data transfer, iCloud, etc), or select default values and complete setup.
Create account “classroom” with password “W3$2021!” (Username and Full Name both “classroom”)
Get a sticky note and write the room number and serial number and stick it on the machine. We will make a nicer laminated sign later.
Open Safari and enroll the machine in Jamf by going to https://wesleyanedu.jamfcloud.com/enroll with username and password “classroom”. NOTE: you must specifically type the “https://“ at the beginning or it won’t load.
Assign to User: Search for room name, select from list. (You can leave it blank if necessary)
Click Continue to download the first of two certificates, then open System Preferences to install it. (System Preferences -> Profiles -> Install). Then in Safari click Continue again to download the second one, and install through System Preferences.
Open System Preferences -> Network to get the I.P. address of the machine and give it to Brent, then wait for Self Service app to open.
BRENT: While waiting, add machine to static labs/classroom group in Jamf console. Look up by I.P. (or s/n) and check the box. Static Computers Groups -> Lab&Class -> Assignments -> Edit -> then filter by IP, confirm S/N, check box and save.
Once Brent is done, sign in to Self Service with username and password both “classroom” and Run Classroom Enrollment 2021. This will take several minutes, but if it doesn’t complete after about 5 minutes stop the process and start it again. Classroom Enrollment does a few things, most notably sets up Splashstop Business which allows us to connect remotely to the machine.
BRENT: Test Splashstop connection by S/N
If Splashstop does not work, from Self Service run the Splashtop installer and try the connection again.
While Brent is testing, there will be a popup saying to go authorize Splashstop in System Preferences. There are normally four things you need to authorize, and you may need to move some windows around to see things behind them. Open System Prefs -> Security & Privacy, click the lock in the lower left to unlock it using the WesAdmin password, and click to authorize Splashstop for the things it asks. Confirm that Brent has remote control through Splashstop before continuing.
Look in System Preferences -> Sharing and see what the computer name is. It should be a 12 character string of numbers and letters (the machine’s serial number). If it is anything else open Terminal and type in the following:
sudo jamf setComputerName -useSerialNumber
Use the WesAdmin password to authenticate. (Hint: If Terminal not working:
Shell -> New Command “bash”)
Run Classroom Join Domain from Self Service
After restart Log in with your own username and password to test domain join worked
Optional (must log in as WesAdmin first) :
In Terminal, to start software download automatically run:
sudo jamf recon
Leave machine plugged into network overnight to complete updates (or verify that it is connected to WiFi).
