    Episode 445: Observability and the Mac Admin

    As managing Macs evolves, it's no longer enough to just configure the devices we are responsible for. What happened after we configured them, are they still configured that way, has the user managed to get around the controls we put in place. Eric Metzger joins us to discuss the different tools that we as Mac Admins can use to keep an eye on our fleet without making them slow and stop the users from doing their jobs.
