Tycho was the loveliest of humans. He was kind, he was the most giving person I’ve ever met, and he set new standards for what it means to be a host. I try to emulate so much of his attributes, but continue to come up short. Even though we’ve known about his health issues for years, and specifically that he had announced he wouldn’t be involved in MacSysAdmin as the “dictator” any more, I am as devastated about this as I’ve been about anyone I’ve lost in my adult life. My heart goes out to Patrick, Anna, and all of his family and circle of friends. We’ve all lost a great friend and may we keep him with us always.

Tom’s Eulogy for macOS Server: Friends, Mac Admins, countrymen, lend me your ears. I come to bury Server, not to praise him. The evil that people do lives after them; The good is oft interrèd with their bones. So let it be with Server. The noble Mac Admin Hath told you Server was ambitious. If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Server answered it. Here, under leave of Server and the rest— For the Mac Admin is an honorable person; So are they all, all honorable people— Come I to speak in Server’s funeral. Server was my friend, faithful and just to me. I speak not to disprove what some Mac Admin spoke, But here I am to speak what I do know. You all did love them once, not without cause: What cause withholds you then, to mourn for them?

Has to be either a DEP device enrollment, or a user-permitted onboarding NOT via package, but by accepted Profile. If you use both Jamf Pro QuickAdd AND Kernel Extensions, there is a bug to dupe because you may be affected.
