  • Essential for the Enterprise

    My entire team usually has a conversation soon after a new episode comes out beginning with “did you listen to the MacAdmins podcast yet?”. It has become an invaluable dialogue for Mac IT personnel that listeners are able to benefit from, and a high quality one at that. Thank you all!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 460: Live at MacAD.UK 2026
Q: What are you hoping for or dreading about the next version of macOS for enterprise deployment?
The panelists express a mix of optimism and caution: hoping for more business-focused management features, refined device controls, and better integration with Windows environments, while dreading potential churn from beta cycles and changes that complicate admin workflows.
Episode 458: Learning new things with Ulrik Aabye-Hansen
Q: What is your training philosophy when introducing new concepts like declarative device management?
The approach is to anchor new concepts in fundamentals and relatable analogies, then progressively connect them to practical applications. He stresses storytelling, avoiding overwhelming learners with jargon, and ensuring the why behind each step is clear to prevent cognitive overload.
Episode 457: Consulting Conferences with Justin Esgar
Q: What are some of the biggest changes in the consulting industry over the last decade?
The guests discuss shifts in technology, marketing, and the rise of AI, along with changes in pricing models and the importance of business skills like client management and contract terms.
Episode 457: Consulting Conferences with Justin Esgar
Q: What inspired you to start ACES and how has it evolved over 12 years?
Justin explains that ACES started from a need to teach consultants how to run better businesses, not just to share technical know-how, and has evolved to include employee-focused tracks and live podcasting to keep content fresh and relevant.
Episode 450: Device Attestation and CAs in 2026
Q: What is the difference between ACME and SCEP, and why should organizations move to ACME device attestation?
ACME is the core certificate management protocol that organizations already use for domains; ACME device attestation extends it to devices, replacing password-based challenges with cryptographic attestations tied to hardware roots, which provides stronger trust and supports supply-chain aware enrollment across platforms.
