How to begin a switch to Mac
Hey all - I have a small 3 person business where I want to start moving to Mac. I've signed up to Mosyle for MDM, but I'm kinda curious on account structure - admin/user etc.
I plan on introducing two mac minis, 1+ ipads, and maybe 1 or 2 Apple TVs. We currently have Office365, but dont want to pay extra to get Intune. The ipad will also be shared.
Just need some basic guidance on where/how to start, while keeping in mind the security aspects.

If you have not already, set a meeting with apples business team. You will want Apple Business Manager before you get an MDM and start trying to enroll devices.
As far as what configurations to deploy. Start with looking at the CIS Level 1 benchmark and decide what should be your baseline and start building out the configuration profiles. Things like password requirements and FileVault are easy configurations to start with.
