A user is configuring their new organization-owned Mac. They notice that several setup screens are missing. Which of the following is the most likely reason?
Answer: D
An organization’s device management service can manage Setup Assistant for an enrolled, organization-owned Mac and skip selected setup panes, preventing the user from seeing them. Apple documents that Setup Assistant panes can be skipped through a device management service with Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager.
