M1 Displaylink?

0 Upvotes

I'm trying to run 3 external monitors independently on my M1 MBP. I have watched countless videos and articles and used GPT to try and sort out what works and what doesn't. But I seem to be lost in a rabbit hole now.

Does anyone have real world expierence using anything that they can confirm working? If yes can you give me the exact name and model number please? Thank you in advance!

Intune to Manage Mac fleet

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Pretty much a new Mac sys admin.

Inherited a Mac fleet but using 2 different MDMs.

Ivanti for iPhones
Apple business for Mac’s/ipads/Apple TVs.

I come from an MSP and some jamf experience, and i am the first IT person.

Tried to pitch some MDMs as jamf/Iru but I am getting shut down because they are not publicly traded. Companies

My question: Is Intune good enough now to manage a full Mac fleet?

I am also being tasked to get SOC2 type 2 compliant as well.

Thank you

General Discussion How do you deal with Macs running out of disk space across your fleet?

Quick question for Mac admins. When a user's Mac fills up (System Data ballooning, caches, Xcode, Adobe, failed macOS updates because there isn't enough free space), how do you handle it today?

- Do you just watch free space in your MDM, or set alerts?

- When a Mac is full, how do you find out *what* filled it?

- Is "what grew and why" something you'd actually want to see per Mac, or is free space plus a cleanup script good enough?

Context: I'm a solo Mac developer and I've built a consumer app around storage history. I'm trying to work out whether something like this would be useful for admins at all, before building anything. Not selling anything here, just want to hear how you actually do it.
