MacOs BYOD

Ambuj M — Sun, 02 Nov 2025 04:00:12 GMT

Hi,

not much familiar with MacOS, any advice on MacOS provisioning for BYOD ?

its running Tahoe 26.0.1, I did posture update and the OS is supported, using CiscoTemportalAgentOSX 5.1.13.86 and MacOsXSPWizard 3.4.0.0 for result.

it gets redirected, downloads package, runs the setup and show message "install profile manually as specified in Cisco Compatibility document"

I was thinking just like iOS I have to go under device profile management and manually install it but I can't find the files.

iPhone, android is provisioning without any issues, so I know my policies and flow are right.

It should show up in System > Preferences > Profiles, was that where you looked at and couldn't find it?

Use an MDM. Anything else is a nightmare. Why do you want to use BYOD at all?

After enrollment feedback from end users we decided to ditch BYOD, it not as seemless as it use to be, thank for your reply.

After enrollment feedback from end users and feedback on ISE community, we decided to ditch BYOD, it not as seemless as it use to be, for instance android enrollment required 21 steps and end users lost it after 10 steps. Thanks for your reply.

Yeah totally agree, it’s horrible experience for both end users and the IT teams who have to manage the solution
