( If the device was under warranty, it would likely be voided.) The suppliers of this type of service are supporting the theft of devices, whether directly or indirectly, as that is the only reason to re-program a serial number. Also, just because a device is new in box, does not mean the device is not stolen.įor the suggestion to pay for a service to re-program the Serial Number, this is an illegal service not condoned or supported by Apple. I do know my own organization fails to properly address devices like this and I strive to educate our techs on this, but unfortunately, most do not understand the impact or even the stress of using Automated Device Enrollment (DEP) in the first place.
(Maybe it was an oversight as one person mentioned.) Companies that have ABM/ASM accounts are Legally Obligated to release device from their ABM/ASM accounts that they no longer own, per the terms and conditions of the program. If it's not, you should contact the company that sold it. So the first thought is a device was stolen if you are getting this pop up. This is just like Activation Lock or signing into iCloud on an iPhone (to prevent its use if it's been stolen).
This is the responsibility of the original owner of the device. If you have a device that is popping up a message like this, then it was a registered as an institutional purchase.Īpple will not remove a device from a companies account as they do not know if it was stolen. If a device is in a company's ABM/ASM (DEP) account that means it was purchased and assigned to an institutional (company) account at Apple. I'm going to try to address many historical and current questions on this topic below.

If you are still struggling, let me and I'll put up some code on this thread. You will need to be handy with command line to get it to work but it is possible, I did some profile coding a long time ago. Then gut the life out of it with - sudo profiles -R Grab the UUID of the profiles with MDM in the name, I think the label is -u in terminal Do a grep for "MDM Profile" or "MDM" it is the standard name for all management profiles Checks for any installed profiles (use "man profiles" to see your options in the terminal manual) Last but not the least, you can go the hacker way to ensure it never happens again.ġ) Setup a Launch Agent or Daemon with a script which runs all the time in the background ( every 5 minutes - recommended ) and does the following: The "check-in" to ABM (Aple Business Manager) ONLY happens at the setup stage, which means the following holds trueġ) If you install a new OS from Apple and disable your internet at the setup stage, nothing will get installed.Ģ) You could also use a USB installer with the internet disabled and that will keep the MDM from installing. Ok, not sure if you still require this but here goes. Resellers on Amazon do not like negative reviews, so you may want to just drop a hint that one such review may be forthcoming unless they can assist you. If this purchase was legit and you aren't up to anything fishy, you need to be contacting them to see if they can help, or at least the reseller and ask them for assistance in contacting the original owners. The fact that you are just looking for a way to disable it without going through the correct channels also raises some suspicion with me. Any chance you can contact them about it? They would be the only ones who can get rid of this. I know they have a location in, I think, Abu Dubai or some place like that. They have a location that's literally down the street from where I work. It may not be that, and could genuinely be that the people who sold it forgot to remove it from their DEP program, but I don't know - wholesale used machines etc? Sounds a little fishy to me.Īlso, I'm familiar with the New England Center for Children. I hate to say it, but it almost sounds like you purchased a lost/stolen device. Apple wouldn't put something in place that would be so easy to exploit by nefarious people.

Otherwise anybody with access to a serial number could enroll a machine and remotely "take control" of it.
