Install Sequoia developer Beta, risking DEP
I am thinking if I should install Sequoia directly through Sonoma. It works perfectly now without DEP notification.
`charlvin@LCWMacBook-Pro ~ % sudo profiles status -type enrollment
Enrolled via DEP: No
MDM enrollment: No`
FWIW, I had the following FQDNs blocked at the router:
iprofiles.apple.com mdmenrollment.apple.com deviceenrollment.apple.com gdmf.apple.com acmdm.apple.com albert.apple.com
I had them blocked in /etc/hosts as well. Still was able to update. Based on a quick search, gdmf.apple.com is specifically for MDM-managed devices.
Here is a list of all the FQDNs for the various services Apple devices might use
I have an unmanaged iMac and a used-to-be-managed Macbook Pro on my home network. My employer sends out alerts when there are major MacOS updates, critical updates, & patches. When the 14.4 notice came out, I went in to Software Update on both systems, and the 14.4 update showed up automagically as expected. No unblocking on my part.
If you truly do HAVE to unblock gdmf.apple.com to get updates, your machine may actually still be enrolled, but some other step in one of the techniques here suppresses the nag messages.
To check that, open Terminal and enter the following command:
profiles status -type enrollmentYour results should be :
Enrolled via DEP: No MDM enrollment: No
