Depending on your MDM (Mobile Device management) environment or lack of thereof you can either grab the .dmg and install things manually or preload software on the mac through a process known as “imaging” since every company requires a specific set up for employee computers UNLESS your a small company where you don’t have a dedicated IT department then everything changes.

Now there are 2 popular MDM solutions for Mac (Windows is a different beast) which is either JAMF or Kandji which can help preload software onto the computer through “0 touch” which preassigns the admin account and allows the computer to download everything the user will need a base level or loading the MDM profile manually, which will be required at some point.

With these 2 MDM solutions you can also disable app store cause you should never be signing into apple ID on company property unless your the CEO… which at that point i don’t care.

Corporate IT works differently from local store side IT, a lot more back doors or direct connections to apple to solve these issues. And i can go into detail about Kandji and JAMF but I’m not JAMF certified and only demo’ed Kandji
