Problems with DEP• User can bypass DEP by not connecting to the
internet during Setup Assistant
• Setup Assistant doesn’t wait for enrollment to complete
• Password policies are not enforced during Setup Assistant
• User created at Setup Assistant is an admin
Coming soon to DEP• Setup Assistant requires an internet connection to
continue
• Setup Assistant waits until MDM enrollment is complete
• Password policies enforced during Setup Assistant
• User created at Setup Assistant can be standard user
System Integrity Protection
–Imaging Fans Everywhere
“But if we don’t image, how can we control the user experience?”

• Messing with the user experience
• Installing ALL the things!
