Disable annoying Remote Management Pop-Up after upgrading to macOS Sonoma (14)
Apple further added a new gate preventing people from using their DEP-enabled Macs without installing the profiles in macOS Sonoma. After upgrading from a fully-working Ventura copy (with MDM servers blocked in hosts) to macOS Sonoma DP 1, your Mac will want to give you a pop-up window every 10 mins reminding you to install a DEP profile. Did some experiments and I think Apple is secretly pinging their MDM servers no matter you have an active profile associated w/ SN or not. As long as the servers are not reachable they will annoy you with their new pop-up system.
The Workaround
(1) Disable SIP in 1 True Recovery
(2) sudo rm /var/db/ConfigurationProfiles/Settings/.cloudConfigHasActivationRecord
sudo rm /var/db/ConfigurationProfiles/Settings/.cloudConfigRecordFound
sudo touch /var/db/ConfigurationProfiles/Settings/.cloudConfigProfileInstalled
sudo touch /var/db/ConfigurationProfiles/Settings/.cloudConfigRecordNotFound
(3) you're all set. enjoy this boring upgrade
Can’t believe it but I think it worked! Thank you so much!
After using the method above to get to 14.3.1, how should I proceed to get to 14.4 or future 14.x updates?
Edit-
After no responses, I decided to try using the System Settings Software Updater, that seems to have worked as expected, and so far no enrollment screens after a couple days.
How did you manage to see the update in System Settings? Mine just says "your Mac is up to date"....
/etc/hosts
Check your host file and deblock "gdmf.apple.com"
/etc/hosts
Check your host file and deblock "gdmf.apple.com"
It worked, I can see the update to 14.4 now. Can this be left unlocked for the future updates?
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 enrollment
Your results should be :
Enrolled via DEP: No
MDM enrollment: No
To check that, open Terminal and enter the following command:
profiles status -type enrollment
I run the command and I see "No" to all...
Greetings, Do you know if there is a way to log in with this Macbook Air 2020 with Intel, it has remote administration with Jamf, it asks me to log in with a Microsoft business account when using a personal account it does not allow it and when giving local login it asks me for a password but I do not have it.
If there is any option?
FWIW, this worked for me. Some of the steps might need to be more prescriptive for folks not very familiar with Macs, but I got it working in one pass. If you want a different drive name than "Macintosh HD" you will need to edit the global constant lines of Autobypass-mdm.sh to reflect the drive name you want.
I did have to connect to the internet to activate as well, but as soon as I hit the "This device is owned by an organization" page, I hit COMMAND-Q, booted in to Recovery Mode, then picked up the instructions from there and ran the script.
Just adding that this post in reply to the above method is what got me sorted out. Clean install (didn't have to use USB), reboot to recovery at the MDM screen, run bypass script and reboot. Dead simple.
what’s supposed to be done ?
Anyone using Sonoma 14.4.1, after processing the post?

How to Upgrade to Sonoma Without Risking Activating DEP/MP?
There is some conflicting information here (and on YT), and I am not a pro user... Could someone kindly explain or point me to the current recommended process to upgrade from Ventura to Sonoma without risking my Mac being enrolled into DEP/MDM?
Originally, when I acquired this Mac, DEP/MDM was circumvented by blocking IPs on my router, installing from USB (clean install), and then editing hosts files. However, now I would like to upgrade a running system and Sonoma seems to have additional tricks to enroll us. Hope someone could help me run the upgrade to Sonoma without risking DEP/MDM (this is why I have not upgraded until now, but I have to do it now as a tool I use needs Sonoma now).
P.S. This means I am not DEP/MDM enrolled, correct?

Hi everyone. I updated to Sonoma 14.5 From Monterey yesterday and after installing I got a pop up saying remote management but just hit skip now and worked fine after. Today I tried using it and now the same pop up comes up taking over my whole screen without a “skip now” button. I tried everything on here but nothing has allowed me to use the Sudo codes in terminal in regular mode because the pop up comes up within 10 seconds of booting up Everytime. I don’t want to erase the MacBook because I have a lot of data on it I need.
Any help would be great. I am able to go into recovery mode find but that’s about it. Thank you!
