Episode 446: Creating an App for Admins

MDM, DDM, VPP, ABM, even MSCP - all the acronyms that help us to manage devices the way that we need to, providing the amazing end-user experiences that the macadmin community is so conscious of. But what do we do when the tools provided by Apple or our device management service don't provide the capabilities we need? That's right, we build it ourselves! Michael Page is going to talk us through Dock Composer, one of these very tools that he has built to solve his own problem and help others solve the same problems in their environments
