Thanks

Tim, this fix solved the problem with Device Enrollment Notification on MacOS Catalina for me. Thanks! But it also removed "profiles" tab in System Preferences, and my sysadmin tells me that it may cause issues down the road. Is any way to resolve that issue, or add the profiles tab by myself? Thanks! Michael

@hopefermi This moves some launch processes to the disabled folder. If you ever need to properly enroll, you would need to move those files back. I did this for a personal computer that was being prompted to enroll when I joined the network at work. If your machine is company owned, you’d probably want to defer to the sysadmin.

Just wanted to quickly say thanks! Very helpful!

@timdang How can one do that to move back the file back?

How to take it back. Without reinstall the macos

Does this work for Big Sur ?

@emamm1 @MAECTPOUA You can sudo mv to move the files back from the disabled back to the LaunchDaemons folder.
@muzammil22 Big Sur is different. There’s other solutions out there, but the process is even more complicated.

I can't find the bckp folders that I create. I think they were remove after installing update. So I decide to make a clear install, and everything is ok
