I'm aware that this is do with the devices serial numbers being registered on the Apple servers, so no amount of erasing and reinstalling will stop this message as it gets loaded when a clean version of OS is downloaded. Going from memory and just some quick research, there would be a configuration on their end that could push settings such as corporate Wifi, pre-configured email, password policy, icloud allow/disallow, app restrictions, file vault enable w/ corporate key, remote lock, remote wipe, location, pre configured network and vpn settings. I've have recently purchased 2 MacBook Pros from a commercial auction (part of the Thomas Cook group that recently went into administration).įor reference, the sale and purchase of the devices is perfectly legitimate and legal.īoth devices have had their hard drives erased prior to my purchase and I have reinstalled the current OS on them, but I'm getting the 'Remote Management' message on startup which also mentions Remote management enables the administrator of Thomas Cook Money set up email, network etc.
