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.

Configure the macOS system by ensuring that system is enrolled via UAMDM.
