Updating Mac Type to Upgrade MacOS

Why does the Tiger wallpaper fit modern macOS so well? Anyone else agree?
You serial HAS to be invalid. There are some criteria that you should follow (it's only partially random), but all of the guides warn you that your generated serial should always result as invalid for Apple: otherwise it'd mean you just generated someone else's serial by accident. If you don't want to do it manually or following the standard guides, there are open source, safe utilities to generate one: https://github.com/sickcodes/osx-serial-generator . I can assure you that getting iServices to work is fairly easy, nowadays.

Bought this MBP 2015 and had no issues for years. When I reset it I can’t get past this Remote Management by Indeed.com screen… Is there a way to bypass this?
Here you go: https://github.com/sickcodes/osx-serial-generator and you also need Open Core Configurator or similar software to mount the hidden efi partition

JAMF seeing different test VMs as the same machine and can only manage one at a time.
I'm using this script to build the VMs, applying serial numbers and HW model generated with this script. The guests enroll over the hosts VPN and once they get the config profile installing machine certs I can get them on VPN directly, enroll, and start testing.
